If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, what does it mean that heavy makeup is always appropriate?

"If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, heavy makeup and light makeup are always appropriate" means that if you compare the West Lake to a beauty salon, no matter how much light makeup and heavy makeup she wears, she always looks so beautiful. This poem comes from Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty. He wrote a group of poems "Drinking on the Lake of Chuqing". There are two poems in one poem, and this poem is the second.

The whole poem is:

The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy. (Meng)

If there are more dead beauties in the West Lake, C+ is so appropriate.

In the bright sunshine, the water in the West Lake is sparkling and beautiful. On rainy days, under the cover of rain curtain, the mountains around the West Lake are foggy, and if there is anything, it is wonderful. If the West Lake is compared to a beautiful woman, no matter what makeup she wears, she is always so beautiful.

Extended data:

Su Shi was a general of Hangzhou from four to seven years in Xining, Song Shenzong (1071-kloc-0/074), and wrote a lot of poems describing the scenery of the West Lake. This group of poems was written in the sixth year of Xining (1073). The author visited the West Lake, enjoying the beautiful lakes and mountains from morning till night, drinking and thinking, and enjoying Wan Ren. So I wrote this masterpiece that was told for a while.

The poet likes drinking in the West Lake. At the beginning, the sun was shining, the West Lake was rippling and the scenery was just right. When it rains, the green hills around the West Lake are misty, and as if nothing had happened, it presents another wonderful scenery. "Rolling", the waves are flashing. "Empty", misty rain confused. These two words are rhyming words, which enhance the musicality of poetic language.

In the second half of the poem, the poet did not closely follow the first two sentences, and further described the sunny and rainy days of lakes and mountains with a pen. Instead, he took appearance as the god and only used an ethereal metaphor to convey the charm of lakes and mountains. Metaphoring the West Lake with stunning beauty not only gives life to the beauty of the West Lake, but also is novel, unique and meaningful.

This wonderful metaphor was called "the best of the West Lake" by the Song people, so that "Xizi Lake" became another name for the West Lake.
