Xialibaren is a Chinese term that originally referred to a popular song among the Chu people during the Warring States Period. It is now used as a metaphor for popular literature and art. The opposite of "Bright Spring and White Snow" is a metaphor for profound but unpopular literature and art.

"White Snow in Spring" was written by Shi Kuang, the "Sage of Music" of the Jin Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period. "Miraculous Secret Score" said in the solution: ""Yangchun" takes the meaning of spring knowing that all things are aware of it, and the gentle breeze; "White Snow" takes the sound of awe-inspiring cleanness and the dazzling snow and bamboo."

The origin of the idiom "Yangchun Baixue" and "Xialiba people":

Song Yu was an opinionated civil servant in the Chu State in the late Warring States Period, and never echoed other people's opinions. When the King of Chu heard that others were saying bad things about him, he came to Song Yu and asked, "Are you doing something wrong? Why are so many people dissatisfied with you?" Song Yu replied, "Let's give in first. Let me tell you something! There was a singer singing in the capital.

He started singing the most popular folk song of Chu State, "Xialiba Ren". At this time, thousands of people onlookers sang along. Then he sang the more advanced song "Yang A Xie Lu", and only a few hundred people sang along. When he sang the elegant song "Yang Chun Baixue", there were only a few dozen people left singing along with him. Only a few people can sing along with the most advanced songs that have five tones and six melodies.

It can be seen that the more advanced the song is, the fewer people can sing along!" , Song Yu added: "The same is true among literati. Of course, ordinary people will not understand those outstanding figures who have great ambitions and noble behaviors. This is exactly the case in my case!" After hearing Song Yu's words, the King of Chu said, It makes sense. There was no further questioning. "Yangchun Baixue" was later used to represent elegant literary and artistic works, while "Lower Riba People" represented easy-to-understand literary and artistic works
