Don’t mistake technology for art!
It should be mentioned that the character portraits in northern Shaanxi folk songs are always permeated with the juice of the author's emotions, reflecting the author's love, hate, praise and criticism. For example, the description of an old son-in-law
He wrote: "The beard on his face is like pig bristles", and the description of a young son-in-law: "bald, crippled and wet the bed". The description of the son-in-law in "A Big Woman Wants a Man": "He is deaf, has blurred vision, has a mouth full of big teeth, and has bumps on his back" etc. The author uses a caricature-like technique to outline the portraits of these characters, and the derogatory meaning is contained in them.

Melon shell eyes, curved eyebrows,
Two windlass ① glasses and gold watch,
