Turandot, an opera based on an Italian drama by the same name, is by far considered to be one of Puccini’s most popular and most performed works.

By admiring the jasmine flower, the song celebrates the sweetness and beauty of romantic love.     55    In 1804 the song was published in a book by a British diplomat(外交官), making it the first Chinese folk song that gained popularity outside China.
