妲己再美红颜祸水妲己无罪商纣有罪
[dá jĭ zài mĕi hóng yán huò shuĭ dá jĭ wú zuì shāng zhòu yŏu zuì]
'Even beautiful as Da Ji is (an evil beauty of history known for her enchantment leading to Shang's fall), she is innocent compared to the guilty King Zhou of Shang' This name is deeply rooted in Chinese classical mythology/history. Da Ji was a legendary vixen spirit sent to sow discord in the Shang kingdom, and she ultimately contributed to its downfall. Her beauty, though charmingly captivating, brings destruction; yet according to this idiom, it is unfair to attribute total blame only to her, rather pointing towards greater faults in the ruling class
