轻描淡写浓妆艳抹
[qīng miáo dàn xiĕ nóng zhuāng yàn mŏ]
'Casually Mentioned, Boldly Applied Makeup', contrasts light-hearted talking with heavy makeup use, signifying superficiality, hiding true feelings under layers of artifice, or putting on a mask before stepping into the social world. Also reflects an ability to remain composed in difficult situations (to treat serious events as trivial), juxtaposed with inner drama.
