The two sentences, "Eyebrows capture the color of day lilies, and red skirts admire pomegranate flowers", adopt a very unique exaggerated and anthropomorphic expression: look at the beauty's eyebrows, which are the colors captured from day lilies; The skirt is bright red, and pomegranate flowers will inevitably be jealous. The first sentence uses "seizing the general" to express the action, and the next sentence uses "jealousy" to express the emotion, thus giving life to Meday, Hemerocallis, Red Skirt and Liu Hua respectively, and doing their best to render Meday and Red Skirt. Hemerocallis and pomegranates are the poet's scenery. Moreover, during the Dragon Boat Festival, day lilies are green and pomegranate flowers are red, which are in line with the writing season. Drawing a beautiful woman is both ingenious and natural.
The poem is from Wan Chu's Five Days of Watching Prostitutes.
At first glance, she seems to be in Meiyue Xisha, like Jasper and Lihua.
The dark emerald eyebrow makes the day lily pale; The red skirt makes the pomegranate flowers in May jealous.
She sings new songs, her sweet voice and beautiful melody are enviable; She danced drunk, her eyes were clear, her hair was cloudy and she waved coquettishly.
Who said that the evil five-color silk thread of Dragon Boat Festival can save lives? Now my soul has been taken away by this Jile, and I am afraid I will die in my master's house today!
