How beautiful is real beauty?

It is said that Shi's skin is as white as porcelain, his eyes are as clear as streams, his hair is as thick as clouds, his figure is slim, and his lips are as red as the sun in the sky. Walking with sound, she likes dancing, and even later people called her dance "stone dance". Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, specially built a long corridor to listen to her melodious footsteps. The corridor is empty and dedicated to appreciation.

It is said that when she was washing gauze by the stream, the fish that had been swimming forgot to swim because of her graceful beauty, and they all froze and slowly sank to the bottom of the water, so the world spread that she had the beauty of "sinking fish". Actually, animals can't appreciate the beauty of people. The reason why fish get carried away when they see her is to highlight her ultimate beauty.

Shi was born in Zhuluo Village, Zhuji City, Shaoxing, Yue at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. There are two villages in Zhuluo, which live in the West Village, hence the name Stone. The descendants of Shi live by the Huansha River. Father sells firewood, mother washes yarn, and stone often washes yarn in the stream, so it is also called Huanshaxi. The first of the four beauties in ancient China is the embodiment and pronoun of beauty. The "sinking fish" in the "Closed Moon and Shame on Flowers" tells the classic legend of Shi Huansha.

Zhuji, Shaoxing, where Xi Shi Huan Sha was located, was a square big stone, plain light brown, with the word "Huan Sha" engraved on it. It was written by Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Kong Ling Fu in the Southern and Northern Dynasties said in "Huiji": Zhuluo Mountain, Zhuji, Shaoxing has a West Huansha Stone.
