Legends, story characters. Li Zhong, Ming Chun, Zhong Lichun. According to legend, she is a salt-free woman in the state of Qi (now Dongping, Shandong). He is ugly and unmarried at the age of forty. She cares about politics and has the art of invisibility. He once visited Qi Xuanwang and accused him of extravagance and corruption in person. Xuan Wang was moved by this, saying that he would "abandon women's pleasure and retreat from flattery" and set a salt-free ambition for another day.

The book says that she, like Wu Zetian's mother, is unmarried in her forties, but the difference is that she is extremely ugly, incomparable, with a sunken head and deep eyes, a paunchy belly, a stiff nose and throat, a fat top and little hair, and painted skin. However, she was concerned about state affairs and once went to see Qi Xuanwang personally and accused him of extravagance and corruption. Xuan Wang was very moved and made her queen. Yuan people also compiled her deeds into zaju, praising her spirit of taking the world as her responsibility.

Degang Guo's stand-up comedy The Ugly Queen is based on the story of Zhong Lichun. Later, people regarded "no salt" as a synonym for ugly women, just as "Xi's" was regarded as a synonym for beautiful women. -In the Spring and Autumn Period, a woman who washed yarn in Zhuluoshan, Yue State, was a legendary ancient stunning beauty, which was presented to the King of Wu by the King of Yue. (See "The Way to Success in the East")

Without salt and stone, one is extremely ugly and the other is extremely beautiful, which is simply incomparable. If we compare the two of them, it is to hold ugliness too high and belittle beauty too low. This is called "depicting salt-free, vulgar and beautiful". (Description is processing description; Abruptness means a rough collision. )

The Book of Jin Zhouyi (The Book of Changes) contains: Zhouyi, the word Boren, served as a minister's servant in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. North Korean officials thought he was noble and expensive, and compared him with pleasure. Le Guang was also considered a noble figure at that time, and had the reputation of "Le Weng is pure and clean". However, Zhouyi thinks that Yue Guang can't compare with him at all. Therefore, when Yu Liang told him that someone compared him to Yue Guang, he was unhappy and said, "Why not paint without salt, be abrupt and learn from the West!" It is inappropriate to compare ugliness with beauty, and therefore it desecrates beautiful people. This is the so-called "portrayal of salt-free, vulgar beauty."

Zhong Wuyan was the first ugly woman in Zhong Lichun during the Spring and Autumn Period. Why is Zhong Lichun also called Zhong Wuyan? There is no record in history, or is it because Zhong Lichun is a salt-free person in Hebei Province, and the homonym of "no salt" and "not gorgeous", together with "not gorgeous", is "not gorgeous", which is in line with her "extremely ugly" status?
