Chen Yu tells the story of Xi Shi Huansha.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a woman named Xi Shi in the Yue State. She was a beautiful woman with regular facial features, pink face and peach blossoms, and extraordinary appearance.
When she was washing her gauze by the river, the clear river water reflected her handsome figure, making her look even more beautiful. At this time, the fish saw her reflection, forgot about swimming, and gradually sank to the bottom of the river. . From then on, Xishi, the nickname of "Sinking Fish", became popular in the neighborhood.
