典故：
据说，博陵名士崔护考进士落第，心情郁闷。清明节这天，他独自到城南踏青，见到一所庄宅，四周桃花环绕，景色宜人。适逢口渴，他便叩门求饮。不—会儿，一位美丽的少女打开了门。崔护一见倾心，顿生爱慕。第二年清明节，崔护旧地重游时，却见院墙如故而门已锁闭。他怅然若失，便在门上题诗一首：“去年今日此门中，人面桃花相映红。人面不知何处去，桃花依旧笑春风。”以后，人们便以“人面桃花”来形容女子的美貌，或用来表达爱恋的情思。
It is said that Cui Hu, a well-known scholar from Boling, was disappointed when he failed the examination. On the Qingming Festival, he went to the south of the city alone and saw a village house surrounded by peach blossoms. Thirsty, he knocked at the door and asked for a drink. A beautiful young girl opened the door. At the first sight, Cui Hu fell in love with the girl. On Qingming Festival next year, Cui Hu revisited there. He saw that the courtyard wall was closed and the door was locked. Despondent, he wrote a poem on the door: In the same courtyard on the same date of last year, her face and peach blossoms reflected each other's grace. But now where is the pretty girl? Only the peach blossoms still swing and smile in the spring breeze. Later, people use this idiom to describe girls' beauty, or to express love feelings.
