It refers to the application of colorful paints and the carving of gold and silver, describing the ornate and splendid decoration of artworks. When applied to literary works, especially poetry, it indicates a style characterized by resplendent rhetoric and elaborate craftsmanship. In terms of aesthetic realm, "ornate embellishment" (错彩镂金, cuò cǎi lòu jīn) is considered less sophisticated than "lotus rising out of clear water" (芙蓉出水, fú róng chū shuǐ). "Ornate embellishment" focuses on external forms and remains at the superficial stage of aesthetics, while "lotus rising out of clear water" transcends appearances, reaching the essence directly, presenting aesthetic charm in a natural and spontaneous manner.
