The Eastern Imitation of the Frowns is an essay by Chuang Tzu. The original text reads as follows: Xi Shi's heart is sick and she frowns inside. The ugly people in her house see her and admire her. When she returns, she holds her heart and frowns inside. When the rich people in the village saw him, they insisted on closing their doors and not coming out. When the poor people saw him, they took their wives and children away. He knows the beauty of a frown, but he does not know why it is beautiful." This passage described how Xi Shi walked in the village with a frown because of her heart pain. An ugly person in the village saw her and thought she was very beautiful. After returning home, he also covered his heart and walked in the village. When the rich people in the village saw her, they closed their doors tightly and did not go out. When the poor people saw Dongshi, they took their wives and children and ran away from her. This story tells us that people only know that frowning looks good, but they don't know why frowning is beautiful.

When Zhou Chu was young, he was particularly violent and valiant. He loved to fight with others the most. The local people regarded him as a scourge. At the same time, there were flood dragons in the water and white-fronted tigers on the mountains in Yixing. They all harmed the common people, so the people of Yixing called Zhou Chu, flood dragons and white-fronted tigers the "three pests". Among the three evils, Zhou Chu was the most powerful. Some people advised Zhou Chu to kill the tiger and the flood dragon, but in fact, they hoped that only one of the three evils would be left after fighting each other. Zhou Chu immediately killed the tiger and went into the river to kill the flood dragon. The flood dragon sometimes floated up and sometimes sank in the water.

Short classical Chinese: Li Sao Qu Yuan was a wise man in the State of Chu. His ancestor, King Zhao, once wanted to make Qu Yuan prime minister. Qu Yuan said,"I am willing to go to Wu and Yue to observe the customs, observe the geography, listen to the speech, and hear what our country does. Only then can I be competent." King Zhao did not listen, so he sent Qu Yuan as an envoy. Qu Yuan went to Wu and Yue to see the beauty of geography and customs, so he was moved and wrote "Li Sao" to express his grief. The text says: "The lingering sound is Kong, the gods meet the monarch, but they do not see it for thousands of years. The road is long and the sky is dangerous. I will search up and down." Translated: Qu Yuan was a wise man in Chu State. His predecessor, King Zhao, had wanted him to become prime minister, but Qu Yuan said," I hope to go to Wu and Yue to observe the customs, understand the geography, and listen to what our country is doing so that I can be competent for my duty." King Zhao did not listen and let Qu Yuan go to Wu and Yue. When Qu Yuan arrived in Wu and Yue, he saw the beauty of the vast geographical customs, so he felt nostalgic and wrote Li Sao to express his grief. The text says: "My music is so beautiful that you cannot see me until eternity." The road is long and natural barriers obstruct me, I will search up and down."
