The poem's opening phrase "Peach flies, burning its splendor" is not only a sentence of "Xing", but also contains the meaning of "Bi", which has a great influence on later generations. It is often said that the first person who compares beauty with flowers is a genius, the second one is a mediocrity, and the third one is a fool.
The Book of Songs is China's first collection of poems, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first time to compare beauty with flowers. Since then, flowers, especially peach blossoms, have been used to compare beauties in an endless stream, for example, Ruan Ji in Wei and Jin Dynasties wrote "The Flowers of Flowers in the Past": "The flowers of peaches and plums are brilliant."
Cui Hu in the Tang Dynasty wrote "The south village of the capital city": "Last year today, in this door, people's faces and peach blossoms set each other off." In Chen Shidao's "Bodhisattva Man and Beauty" in the Northern Song Dynasty, the words: "The jade wrist pillow is fragrant, and the peach blossom face is open." They all have their own characteristics. Naturally, they can't be dismissed as mediocrity and stupidity, but they are all influenced by the poem "Nan Zhou Taoyao", but the influence is large and small, and the application is skillful and clumsy.
In ancient literary works, words such as "face like a peach blossom" and "gorgeous as a peach and plum" are often used to describe women's good looks, which is also inspired by this poem "Nan Zhou Taoyao", and "face like a peach blossom" has become a classic artistic conception in China's classical poems.
