Here's the rewritten version of the article in an entertainment writing style, enriched with details, reverse sequencing, synonyms, and logical coherence:

\"Lychees of Chang'an\" revolves entirely around the presentation of lychees to celebrate Yang Guifei's birthday.
To ensure Yang Guifei could taste a lychee, Li Shande traveled back and forth between Chang'an and Lingnan. Similarly, Su Lang exhausted his wealth for the same reason. Countless lychee trees were cut down, all for Yang Guifei to have a taste.
Despite the labor, time, and effort involved, the lychees painstakingly acquired were left untouched by Guifei.
In contrast to television dramas where the lychees arrive but spoil before Guifei can taste them, in the movie, fresh lychees are delivered right to her, ready to be enjoyed. However, she is distracted by An Lushan's son's dance just as she reaches for one, leaving them all untouched.
Viewers might wonder why Dapeng didn't arrange for Guifei to eat the lychees, giving the story a complete ending?
Today, Xiao Qing will discuss this topic further. Guifei merely symbolizes imperial power. Born in the north, Yang Guifei knew little of the lychees from Lingnan, let alone having a liking for them. It was merely a whimsical decree based on someone's praise of Lingnan lychees.
On the surface, it portrays \"A princess smiles in a scarlet dust, with none knowing it's lychee that has come.\" In reality, she herself is just a symbol of imperial power. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had not yet experienced the An Lushan Rebellion, living in the illusion of a celestial empire.
The lychee doesn't just represent the emperor's favor for Guifei but also demonstrates the flourishing national power of the Tang Dynasty. If they could bring lychees from a thousand miles away in Lingnan, it showed the prosperity of the country. Failure to bring a simple lychee would raise doubts about the empire's strength and even the stability of imperial power.
Similar to how the Jia family continued to lavish expenses on Grand View Garden despite their declining fortunes, they had to maintain appearances. Not because they lacked wisdom but because they had to uphold these facade projects to avoid hastening their downfall.
Thus, though it seems to be about presenting lychees to Guifei or celebrating Grandmother Jia's birthday, in reality, no one truly cared whether the person concerned liked it or even needed it!
Those in power would never concern themselves with the sacrifices made by the lower classes. For them, these were inconsequential matters.
Guifei understood the difficulty of obtaining lychees. In many films and TV shows, Yang Guifei is portrayed as an airheaded beauty who brings calamity to the nation. Xiao Qing, however, believes Guifei was intelligent and discerning.
To transport a small lychee from a thousand miles away required substantial resources. She didn't need to ponder much to understand this. She also knew it wasn't her decision to make. All she could do was not eat it and express her stance. At the very least, starting from next year, they shouldn't bring lychees anymore.
Hinting at the contradictions of the An Lushan Rebellion, just as the lychees were presented, Guifei initially intended to take one, but An Lushan's son's performance caught her attention.
This detail is noteworthy. At that time, An Lushan and Yang Guozhong were at odds, with the emperor later favoring An Lushan, a well-known fact. Although Yang Guifei was the younger sister of Yang Guozhong, she had to consider the emperor's favor.
When she was about to take the lychee, the emperor emphasized, \"These lychees are from Lingnan, arranged by the prime minister,\" while the eunuch reminded her of An Lushan's son's performance.
Guifei could change from the Princess of Shou to the favored Guifei, but she had been favored for many years. Naturally, she was not stupid. She knew when to act and maintain her innocence.
Therefore, Guifei chose to put down the lychee and turn to see the performance. This shows compliance with the will of the saint, even if the favored Guifei is only a puppet under imperial power.
But the most memorable detail in the movie is not that Guifei didn't eat the lychee, but that Guifei didn't eat the lychee and the slow development of side by side even though. heard Rather countless Behind stories Overall about meant 80% like However, So did film story movie
