"King Chu has a thin waist" refers to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when King Chu Ling liked his courtiers to have a thin waist. Therefore, a group of ministers in the DPRK are afraid to eat more for fear of falling out of favor. In order to keep their waistlines, they only eat one meal a day. Courtiers hold their breath when they get up every day, and then tighten their belts. Stand against the wall.

Bai Juyi loved these two women most, and once wrote a poem praising: "Cherry Su Fan mouth, willow small waist." Since then, the small mouth of cherry and the slender waist of willow leaves have gradually evolved into the classic image of female aesthetics.
