"I am too pretty to bother with an eyebrow pencil" (Zhao Luan-luan) People are getting the wrong ancient Chinese poems tattooed, for real. This is some deep shit 😭

"Go tell families with silverware and cars / What's the use of all that noise and money?" Now listen, I don't speak a lick of Chinese so I'm hardly an expert in translating ancient Chinese poetry, but I'm pretty sure mentioning cars (not carriages, CARS) in a tang dynasty poem is not really suitable?? I was already skeptical of this collection due to Ezra Pound's inclusion but this can't be for real, can it?
