"This girl has a frown that resembles a spring mountain, eyes that twinkle like autumn water, a delicate face, and a slender waist. She is graceful and elegant, bearing a strong resemblance to Lin Daiyu."
Second, to describe this girl, we can use the phrase "eyebrows like spring mountains". Nowadays, few people use the phrase "spring mountains" to describe the beauty of a girl's eyebrows. If you have seen the painting "Spring Mountains" in the Palace Museum, the faint hint of black in the distant mountains really does resemble eyebrows.
Third, refers to eyes that are as clear as autumn water due to tears of sorrow; means a face that is very thin and a waist that is slender; is a phrase where describes the way smoke rises slowly, and refers to the feeling of willow branches floating when the wind blows.
Fourteen words depict the girl's eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, figure, and movements, with a hint of elegance, a touch of delicacy, and a tint of melancholy, "exuding a strong resemblance to Lin Daiyu".
Fifthly, Cao Xueqin never directly described Lin Daiyu's appearance, but he used sixteen words to describe a performer who resembled Daiyu, and their common trait was infatuation.
