The meaning of vanilla

The meaning of beauty
The image of beauty is generally interpreted as a metaphor, either as a metaphor for the king or as a metaphor for oneself. The most concentrated expression is the metaphor of the relationship between men and women as the relationship between monarch and minister. The former is like "the scattered grass and trees are afraid of the beauty's twilight". The latter is like "all the women are jealous of Yu's beautiful eyebrows, and rumors spread that Yu is good at lewdness". Using the changes in the marriage contract between men and women as a metaphor for the changes in the relationship between monarch and ministers is not only vivid, but also in line with Chinese people's thinking habits.
