Idioms and allusions

1. Withered face and thin body. Describe a hungry and tired look. Geng Tinglu, the seventh biography of loyalty and righteousness in the history of the Ming Dynasty, says, "if you have a small grudge, you must report it. Why don't you use it to the culprit of decapitating and drinking blood; if you have a private favor, you must pay for it. Why don't you use it to the naked son of a dove." Liang Sheng, a record of night stories, written by Bang Er of the Qing Dynasty: "even if there is one or two kinds of beauty, the person who operates his family for more than a month will eat rice bran in the morning and porridge in the evening. It's not clear that it's already a dove shaped Swan face, and it's disgusting to see it." Feng inquired about the poem "Niang is hard to see" in the Qing Dynasty: "looking up at the noble, Diao Chan he Rong! Diao Chan is not as proud as my parents. " 2. Refers to a thin person. Li Guangzhao of the Qing Dynasty wrote in the song of Furong: "it's a poisonous fog in the sky, and it's dark in the day, and the swans and doves are rushing in an endless stream; they have no skills to beg for immortals in their long life, and they have a good way to die quickly." When it's dark and foggy, there's a stream of swans and doves; when they live long, they have no skills to beg for immortals, and when they die quickly, they have a way to seek the ghost kingdom.
