Light Luo Xiao fan Bai Lan, thin waist jade belt dancing yarn. Doubt is a fairy, looking back and smiling is better than Xinghua.
The small fan (in her hand) is like an elegant white orchid. A ribbon decorated with jade is wrapped around her slender waist and dances with the gauze falling from the sky. People thought she was a fairy from the sky. Looking back and smiling, she was brighter than the stars.
This is a poem describing the dancing of ladies-in-waiting. The author did not deliberately describe her graceful dancing and charming appearance, but showed people a delicate and beautiful dancer image through the description of some objects.
The dancer depicted in the poem waved a small fan like a white orchid in one hand and danced with a thin "tulle" in the other. The "jade belt" wrapped around her waist sets off her slender waist, graceful posture and graceful dance, which makes people feel that she is a fairy who came to earth from heaven.
The last sentence highlights the beauty and innocence of ladies-in-waiting, because only an innocent girl can have the brightest and most charming smile, which can surpass the brilliance of the stars.

Wu Pingyi, whose real name is Zhen, is the grandson of Wu Zetian. When Wuhou was in power, Wu Pingyi was ordered to be an official, but Wu Pingyi was afraid to go for fear of involving right and wrong, and lived in seclusion in Songshan to practice pagoda law. After the restoration of Zhongzong, Wu Pingyi was still mourning for his mother, but he was still ordered to be a housekeeper. In the second year of Jinglong (708), he got a bachelor's degree in the Literature Museum. He was liked by Zhongzong because of his profound knowledge, and soon became the foreign minister of the examination.
Both Wu Ping and Wu Jia are very worried about getting involved in the struggle inside and outside the imperial court. In the second year of Jinglong, he wrote to suppress his rights (that is, the Wu family), but Zhongzong disagreed. In September of Jinglong's third year, in the face of the chaotic situation that "Princess Taiping and Princess Anle's cronies were even more bankrupt", Zhongzong asked him about the policy, and Wu Ping put forward the suggestion of restraining kindness and keeping strict, in order to show that he was forbidden and not evil. Zhongzong felt his loyalty and rewarded him, but he still didn't do what he said.
Shortly after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, Wu Pingyi was demoted to Suzhou to join the army and later served as the Jintan Order. Although he was demoted, Wu Pingyi was "both demoted and famous". At that time, poets such as Wang Wan, Zuyong and Chu Guangxi visited Wu, leaving poems as gifts.
