First of all:
His face was covered with beard and wind, his eyebrows were broken and his face was red.
Sad, hard and haggard, but now it seems to be drawing.
Second:
China's envoy replied, when will gold redeem the moth?
If the king asks for the color of his concubine, it's better not to be as good as when he was in the palace.

First of all, my face was stained with Alakazam's dust, my hair was messed up by the wind, and the powder on my eyebrows and cheeks faded. Suffering from the hardship and sorrow of living here is just like in the original portrait (because there is no money to bribe the painter, the portrait is ugly).
Second: Ask the envoy to help me speak for the monarch. When can I get the gold and redeem me? If the monarch asks me what I look like now, he must say the same as when I was in the palace.
To annotate ...
1, Wang Zhaojun: A native of Zigui, Hubei Province, who later entered the palace as a palace maid of the Han Emperor. In the first year of Jingning (the first 33 years), she invited herself to marry the Xiongnu, who was Uhaanyehe's wife, Hu Ning E Shi, and had a son and a daughter. This is an old topic in Yuefu, which belongs to "harmony and poetry".
2. Han family: Han dynasty. Qin Diyue: The capital of the Han Dynasty was Chang 'an, which belonged to the State of Qin in ancient times, so the moonlight in Chang 'an was called Qin Diyue.
3. Flowing shadow: Flowing moonlight.
4. Guan Yu: Yumenguan, so the address is in the northwest of Dunhuang County, Gansu Province. Li Bai thought that Wang Zhaojun had to go through Yumenguan when he went to Xiongnu, but it was actually a misunderstanding.
5, no future: no day to come back. According to historical records, after his death, Wang Zhaojun wrote to ask for the return of Han, but it was not approved by Emperor Cheng of Han, and it failed to come true.
