The first time I met you was at a banquet. You wore a skirt embroidered with two butterflies. The beautiful face is only painted with faint white powder, just like a wild flower, quietly and gracefully bathed in the fragrant spring. Take a closer look, you are so perfect that everyone praises your waist. Didn't you come from the depths of Wushan last night? Because when you came, your clothes still looked like floating white clouds.

This is a gift from the banquet. The first sentence is about the skirt she is wearing, which is embroidered with butterflies flying in two directions. In the sentence "Dongchi", write down the place where we met (Dongchi) and the reason why we met (banquet), and point out her "drinking" status. "vermilion", and then write his face, focusing on his light makeup. "Idle flowers and faint spring" outlines her expression and manner with an exact and concrete metaphor. In the entertainment places of the upper class, most women wear heavy makeup, but a light makeup will attract people's attention. Therefore, although "idle flowers" are only "light spring", they have unique charm. Zhang Xian was obviously inspired by Zhang Hu, but the phrase "idle flowers and faint spring" is still very creative. In the Tang dynasty, beauty was called spring scenery. For example, Yuan Zhen called Yuezhou * Liu Caichun "Jianhu Spring". The word "spring" here is also a pun.
