Tang Dynasty: Wanchu
At first glance, she seems to be in the beauty of Yuexisha, but also like Jasper, the beauty of Lihua.
Deep emerald-colored diaphanous eyebrows make the yellow cauliflower pale; red dress, make the May pomegranate flower jealous.
She sings a new song, sweet and moist voice, beautiful melody, enviable; she drunkenly dances with her hands, her eyes han-ching, her hair yun-bin, flirtatious beckoning.
Who said that the evil five-colored silk threads of the Dragon Boat Festival can save lives, now my soul has been taken away by this Jile, I'm afraid I'm going to die in the master's house today!
Translation
At first glance, she seems to be Yuexi washing yarn of the beauty stone, and like Jasper, comparable to Lihua.
Dark emerald black eyebrows eclipsed the yellow cauliflower; fiery red dresses made the May pomegranates jealous.
She excelled in singing new songs with a sweet, melodious voice that was enviable. She danced drunkenly with her hands, her eyes full of deep emotion, her sideburns slightly disheveled, and her flirtatious state breathtaking.
Who said the five-colored silk threads that ward off evil spirits at the Dragon Boat Festival can save lives? Now that my soul has been hooked by this musician, I'm even going to die in my host's house today!

Making Appreciative Comments
In Tang poetry, there are many monumental chapters that profoundly reflect the reality of society, but there are also works about upper-class literati feasting and giving gifts to prostitutes. Such works, which are not, on the whole, ideological, have occasional artistic merit, and Wan Chu's "Five Days of Viewing Prostitutes" can be considered such a poem.
The poem begins with the musicians' beauty and movement. "Stone. Tao Huan Chun Yarn, Jasper Doo Li Hua Now," once the poem is written, it is in a different style. Shi, who washes her yarn by the river, is a recognized beauty in ancient times. The poet only mentions Shi, and then brushes her aside with the word "Tao". In this way, it not only triggers the association of climbing over the beauty, but also turns to the beauty in front of him. Still, he remains silent and pretentious. Let the poets, Shi, Jasper, Lihua three beauties along the way, against the traditional imagery of the object to be depicted, save a lot of ink, but make the object to be depicted easily step into the ranks of beauty.
"A beautiful eyebrow captures the color of a yellow cauliflower, and a red dress envies a pomegranate flower," these two sentences use a very unique way of expression of hyperbole and anthropomorphism. In the first sentence, the poet uses "seize the general" to express the action, and in the second sentence, he uses "envy" to express the emotion, thus giving life to Meidai, daylily, red skirt and pomegranate respectively, and doing his best to render Meidai and red skirt. Daylilies and pomegranates are the poet's sight. At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, the yellow cauliflower is green and the pomegranate is red, both of which fit the season in which they are written. Getting it right as a reflection of beauty is both clever and natural.
