When the doctor became an apprentice to serve the king of Chu, Song Yu said: "jade is a beautiful human body, with a lot of words and lust. May the king not go in and out of the harem with her." Wang Yideng asked Song Yu. Yu said, "I am graceful and beautiful, and I have learned from heaven. I have many words, and I have learned from my teacher. As for lust, I have nothing to do with it. " Wang said, "is it true that Zi is not lustful? If you say something, you will stop. If you don't say anything, you will retreat. " Yu said: "the beauty of the world is not like Chu; the beauty of Chu is not like Chenli; the beauty of Chenli is not like the son of his master. The son of his master, if he adds one point, it will be too long, if he subtracts one point, it will be too short; if he wears powder, it will be too white, and if he applies Zhu, it will be too red. Beauty is like green feather, muscle is like snow, waist is like plain bundle, teeth are like seashells. With a smile, he bewildered Yang Cheng and fascinated CAI.
