You can see Liu Pu's attitude from him. The following is the original text and translation.
Metaphor refers to people who are not very beautiful.
Gu Yue (1) and Wen Jian (2) are the same year, but they turned white very early. An essay says, "Why did you become white first?" Yes: "the posture of willow leaves falls in autumn;" The quality of pine and cypress flourishes with frost. "
Gu Yue and Jian Wendi (Sima Yu) are the same age, but Gu Yue's hair is gray. Jian Wendi asked, "Why did your hair turn white first?" Gu Yue replied: "Liu Pu is weak, and autumn leaves will fall; Pine and cypress are solid, the more weathered, the more prosperous. "

Year), word road. (East) The youngest son of Emperor Jin and Yuan. (3) Liu Pu: Willow poplar, branches and leaves are easy to wither. Gu Yue's metaphor was unfolded with willows, and Jian Wendi was unfolded with pines and cypresses. Jian Wendi was overjoyed after hearing this. Although Gu Yue's words are flattering, they are thought-provoking: Is it premature gray hair or too weathered?
Title: Liu Pu's gesture.
Pronunciation: Polly ZH and Z.
Interpretation: Liu Pu: Populus davidiana, branches and leaves are easy to wither, so there is a "Liu Pu posture, looking at autumn and falling; Pine and cypress are frosty. " To put it bluntly, the ancients often used "Liu Pu's posture" as a metaphor for physical weakness, which is a kind word; It is also used to imply that youth is perishable and appearance is aging.
Source: South Liu Song Yiqing's "Shi Shuo Xin Yu Ci": "Autumn Liu Pu looks down; Pine and cypress are frosty. " Example: The Peony Pavilion by Tang Xianzu in the Ming Dynasty: "Students are ashamed of Liu Pu's posture and dare to bother the teachings of Taoli."

Story: In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yin Hao, the secretariat of Yangzhou, asked Gu Yue to be an official. Gu Yue attaches great importance to righteousness and trustworthiness, and concentrates on handling government affairs. Long-term fatigue made Gu Yue, who was in his thirties, have white hair. David moses advised him to pay attention to his health. Under the introduction of david moses, Gu Yue was surprised to see Jian Wendi of similar age. Gu Yue said that the emperor was made of pine and cypress, and could not stand the wind and frost.
"Liu Pu's posture" refers to getting old before getting old.
When it comes to "the posture of Liu Pu", we have to mention the ancient Yue in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Gu Yue is bright-hearted, honest and trustworthy. Yin Hao, the secretariat of Yangzhou, made him an official, with full authority to handle state affairs. Thanks to Yin Hao's kindness, Gu Yue devoted himself to his work, getting up early and being greedy for the dark, and being conscientious. Long-term fatigue has seriously affected his health. In his thirties, he has white hair and looks very old.
On one occasion, Gu Yue had an audience with Jian Wendi for some reason. When Jian Wendi learned that he was about his age, he asked, "We are about the same age. Why is your hair whiter than mine? " Gu Yue replied: "The posture of Liu Pu is autumn; Pine and cypress are frosty. " In other words, the willow trees at the water's edge are poorly qualified and will wither in autumn; Pine and cypress are solid in texture and more lush after autumn frost. Gu Yue's answer didn't directly say that he played early, but also took the opportunity to kowtow to the emperor. There is no better answer than Gu Yue. Simply flattering her is both clear and appropriate. Who's Jian Wendi? He is an emperor, and he is also a scholar. Gu Yue has its own way. His answer first won the favor of Jian Wendi in terms of diction and sentence making, and the elegant language like poetry made Jian Wendi feel high. If Gu Yue doesn't have such a high level, he will directly answer: "I work day and night, overworked, and let Fahua be born early." Although the emperor will sympathize, he will never be happy-you are tired, am I not tired? If Gu Yue makes fun, say, "Who knows? It's a waste of time." Although it's telling the truth, it's nothing new, and it's useless to say it.
In many film and television literary works, it is ridiculous for those girls to say something like "concubine's posture, Liu Pu is willing to commit herself to each other". You're too old to recommend yourself? Is it scary?
