紅鸞喜

傳說紅鸞是瑤池金母座下的蕊宮仙女，因思凡被貶凡間，卻在人間發生了一段宿世姻緣，後來回到天上化為星宿，掌管人間婚姻。芳艷芬女士在1957年演出的《紅鸞喜》應是根據傳說改編的本子，也是粵劇的創演劇本。故事講述晉公子兄弟爭戀柳紅鸞，公子塵生得俊俏，紅鸞心中有意，因酒醉二人共赴巫山，珠胎暗結。後來相貌其醜的公子宏用手段令紅鸞險些錯嫁他，而公子塵則險些錯娶紅鸞之醜大姊柳紅蓮。最終公子宏反思己過，決意讓愛，紅鸞與太子塵結成美眷。後來紅鸞歸列仙班，頓悟塵世情緣皆是過眼雲煙，不如仙界永存美好，於是下凡送子，永別了人間的悲歡情愁。

Both the princes of Jinare in love with Liu Hongluan. She fancies Prince Chen, who is handsome, and conceives his child after a drunken rendezvous with him. Prince Hong, the ugly one, thinks of a deceitful plan that will land him Hongluan and leave her ugly sister to Chen. Hong feels guilty and gives up his wicked plan. Hongluan then marries Chen.
