When you see quite a beautiful girl on the street, which word will you use to describe the beauty of her? In Chinese, we may use these Chinese sayings as Chenyuluoyan or Biyuexiuhua. However, do you know where the sayings are ?
In Chinese ancient history, there four well-known beauties named Xishi, Wang Zhaojun, Diaochan and Yang Yuhuan. Here are two about Xishi and Wang Zhaojun.
Xishi lived during the Spring and Autumn period. One day, she to a river to wash silk with her friends. Some fish were swimming in the clear water. When the fish saw Xishi, they swam down to the bottom of the water . The fish were shocked by the beauty of Xishi and felt embarrassed of .
Wang Zhaojun lived during the Han Dynasty. The king of Han wanted to send her to the king of the enemy country as a gift. A few days later, Wang was on the way with a group of guards, something interesting happened. There was a wild goose above the head of Wang Zhaojun. It was so shocked by the beauty of Wang it even forgot to flap wings. Then it fell down heavily into the forest.
Nowadays, if a girl's beauty is overwhelming, we can say she is the one that "can make the fish sink and the wild goose ".
