Called by Lin Yutang "the most beautiful woman in Chinese literature," she lives with her poor husband in straightened circumstances, "embroidering while he paints, and fulfilling the demands of poetry and wine by happily spending her life making clothes and cooking."
這位林語堂封為「中國文學上最可愛的女人」，與「貧士」丈夫在幾乎衣食不濟的窘迫困蹇之下，「君畫我繡，以為詩酒之需，布衣菜飯，可樂終身」。
