What's the effect? 【dōng sh Xia o pín】？

new word

Basic interpretation? Detailed explanation?

[dōng sh Xia o pín]

Beauty Shi is ill, frowning and holding her heart. The ugly girls in the same village saw it and thought their bodies were beautiful, so they imitated her appearance, but it was horribly ugly (see the fate of Zhuangzi). Later generations called this ugly girl a godsend. The metaphor of "learning from the East is effective" is blind imitation, and the effect is very bad.

Zhuangzi Tian Yun: "So I'm sick and I'm stuck here. The ugly people inside are beautiful and fascinated by it. When the rich see it, they will stay at home; When the poor see it, they leave with their wives. "
