المعنى
Describing something very white.
خلفية ثقافية
The obsession with 'trắng như tuyết' skin has led to a massive market for 'kem trộn' (mixed creams), which can be controversial due to health risks. It shows how deeply the idiom's aesthetic is valued. In the famous 'Tale of Kieu', beauty is often described using nature metaphors. While 'tuyết' is used, 'mai' (apricot blossom) is also used to describe a slim and pure figure. Young Vietnamese people use this idiom ironically on social media when they use too many filters on their photos, making their skin look unnaturally white. In Sapa, when it actually snows, the idiom becomes literal. It's a major tourist event because snow is so rare and 'magical' to Vietnamese people.
