this is a story about Ji Yan (
杨玉环), another name as (颜令宾), who was born
in Tsong dynasty, and she is very famous for her talent in Pipa playing, or classical
poetry.
Born to a rich and prideful scholar and governor, with mother and father always in offical
position, Ji Yan grows up under tutoring of hundreds of locale or far distance folks,
they teach her how to walk, how to speak, how to smile, how to do needle work, how
to use abcus to calculate prince, how to write with a brush, how to sing beijing opera,
how to observe planets such as Jupiter, Mars, Moon, Earth, Saturn, and Comets
Ji Yan has a nick name, Kittery, her grandfather often calls her Sayshree, or Ambrose,
she has lots of pearls, brackets, bookmarks, yet, she never chooses any to wear
her favorite hobby is reading books, especially poetry books,
her favorite outdoor activity is walking in woods, experiencing the fresh air of nature
although modern authority assumes that she is a world famous prostitute, who often refuses
to meet rich lords, but do honor and respect them from distance, yet, we know that Ji Yan
is a woman of grace, beauty, and high level of talents, she lets rumor circulate, yet she enjoys
the hot topics around her residence

颜令宾是唐代
名妓，不但能
奏乐唱歌，
吟诗作画，而且熟知古今名人轶事，谈吐
风雅多趣，气质又特别高贵
娴雅，她一出场总能带来满室春风，使每位客人都兴致勃勃。
