江山与美人美人与江山

[jiāng shān yŭ mĕi rén mĕi rén yŭ jiāng shān]
This name, 'Jiangshan and Beauty, Beauty and Jiangshan,' is a play on a famous phrase that reflects the traditional view of power and romance. 'Jiangshan' literally means 'mountains and rivers' but refers metaphorically to a kingdom or empire. The phrase conveys the notion that owning power and having love are both equally appealing yet contradictory pursuits. In historical contexts, it often symbolizes the emperor's dilemma between ruling the country (the realm represented by 'Jiangshan') and enjoying the pleasures of romantic relationships or beauty ('Beauty').
