How to euphemistically describe someone as ugly?

Today’s society is an era where faces are valued.

As long as a person is good-looking and has a particularly good appearance.

You will always be more popular than those who look ordinary, and it will be easier to get favorable opportunities.

Around us, when a person’s appearance is not satisfactory, we will habitually say that the person is ugly.

But how did our ancients describe a person who was not good-looking? Let’s discuss it together.

Su Dongpo once wrote a poem like this: "Before three or five steps out of the courtyard, his forehead was already in front of the painting hall."

This is a joke between Su Dongpo and his sister Su Xiaomei.

What Su Dongpo means is that Su Xiaomei has not walked out of the door yet, and has only taken three or five steps.

Her forehead has reached the painting hall.

Su Dongpo used exaggeration to secretly laugh at his sister for being ugly.

Of course Su Xiaomei would not swallow her anger. She immediately countered Su Dongpo: "Last year, I shed a few lovesickness tears, but they have not reached my ears yet.

" Su Xiaomei's talent is evident.

Composing poems to tease each other like this shows that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is very good.

What Su Xiaomei means is that Su Dongpo shed tears last year, but they have not flowed to the earplugs yet.

This was used to mock Su Dongpo for having a long face.

There are many other poems like this from the ancients.

In Li Bai's "Ancient Style": "Ugly women come to imitate the beauty and return home to shock the neighbors.

" In Sikong Tu's "Imitating Chen Zi'ang": "Ugly women compete for hairpins, The more flowers reflect, the uglier it becomes.

" In Wang Yan's "Jiao Lao": "Ugly appearance is not charming, sitting still is not subversive."

From these verses, we have to admire the wisdom of the ancients.

Their description of a person's sorrow is both literary and elegant, which makes us admire.
