Huarui Furen, Lady Pistle, was the favorite concubine of Emperor Meng Chang of the Later Shu State. She was captured when the Song, under Emperor Taizu, conquered the Shu. He had heard that she was an accomplished poet and asked her to come before him to recite a poem. 花蕊夫人，后蜀主孟昶的费贵妃，五代十国女诗人，青城（今都江堰市东南）人，也号花蕊夫人。幼能文，尤长于宫词。得幸蜀主孟昶，赐号花蕊夫人。其宫词描写的生活场景极为丰富，用语以浓艳为主，但也偶有清新朴实之作，如“三月樱桃乍熟时，内人相引看红枝。回头索取黄金弹，绕树藏身打雀儿”这一首，就写得十分生动活泼，富有生活情趣；其《述国亡诗》亦颇受人称道，实难得之才女也。诗一卷（《全唐诗》下卷第七百九十八）。
