What is the image of a mirror in poetry?

Generally speaking, two meanings are expressed through a mirror. One is that I am very idle and there is nothing to play in front of the mirror; The other is to feel the time, look in the mirror and find yourself old again.

The former, Bodhisattva Man and Wen:

The mountains overlap and the gold disappears, and the clouds are fragrant with snow. Too lazy to draw a moth eyebrow, too late to make up and wash.

Look in the mirror before and after the flowers, and look at the flowers. The new post is embroidered with lolo, all of which are golden partridges.

Although this word is about missing one's lover, what the poet expresses through the mirror is a touch of melancholy in leisure.

The latter, Lu You's "Great Wall is confident, and the sideburns in the mirror have faded first". You see, my dream of defending my country has not come true, and my hair is white in the mirror! Express the sadness of time passing through the mirror. Also, Li Bai's "If you don't see the lovely lock of Highgarden Mirror, the sun will shine like moss, and the dusk will be like snow" also means this.
