it's still purple prosey, it's not stuff random people would recognize in a casual chat context. like sure in theory you could refer to someone as having foxy/fox-like eyes or almond shaped eyes in english and that means something, but it doesn't make it something you'd typically do outside of descriptive literature or idk teen magazines fanning over idols

guaranteed if you ask a random 40 year old man what a peach blossom eye is he'd have no idea

Idk, I don't think it's necessarily purple prose. If an author goes on and on about it and keeps repeating it, sure. But once you know what those teems mean/what they look like, I found it a fairly useful way to mentally picture a character. It's the same way describing eye or hair colours with anything but the very basic colours can but doesn't have to end up purple prose.
And just because it's not common knowledge for everyone doesn't make it bad by default.

i didn't say it was purple prose, i said it was purple prosey. just like overuse of "almond-shaped eyes" in English novels would be, or constantly referring to characters as "the blond" or "the brunette" or "the raven-haired". readers of certain genres will know that means "they have black hair" but nobody says that about each other casually, and this anon seemed to ask if this was some sort of commonly known and used description, and they are not.

i mean, i will add, if that's necessary or something "source: i am asian"

Yeah, but you can do the same in English, we're just used to it. Big blue eyes=innocent, soft brown eyes=kind/helpful, green eyes=jealous, short-tempered etc.

i didn't say you couldn't, i was answering anons question. "is this a thing asian people do"

do English-speakers commonly describe each other as raven-haired?
