BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Xi Shi was one of the renowned Four Beauties of ancient China. She was said to have lived during the end of Spring and Autumn period in xiaoshan, the capital of the ancient State of Yue. Her name was Shi Yiguang.

Xi Shi's beauty was said to be so extreme that while leaning over a balcony to look at the fish in the pond, the fish would be so dazzled that they forgot to swim and sank below the surface. This description serves as the first two characters of the Chinese idiom which is used to compliment someone's beauty.
