This sentence comes from a seven-character ancient poem "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple" written by Tang Yin, a painter, writer and poet in the Ming Dynasty. In this poem, the poet describes himself as a peach blossom fairy, showing his true heart with vulgar and negative side in his ordinary truth, with a cynical spirit.
The whole poem is as clear as words, without any allusions and flowery rhetoric. The tone of language is close to vulgarity, lightness and self-contained, but it contains infinite artistic tension and gives people continuity.
The poem "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple" mainly expresses the poet's attitude towards life, and he is willing to retire, indifferent to fame and fortune, and unwilling to hand it over to the secular in pursuit of leisure. Peach blossom has the meaning of seclusion because of its homophonic "escape", and it also embodies the precious spirit of pursuing freedom and cherishing the value of individual life.
The fourth sentence of Song of Peach Blossom Temple describes the poet's life with flowers as his neighbors and wine as his friends. Whenever he is drunk, he never leaves the peach blossom, day after day, year after year, letting time flow and flowers bloom and fall, without changing his original intention. This obsession with flowers and wine is a manifestation of his great treasure for life.

The next four sentences are arguments. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the rich and the poor, the dialectical relationship between the rich and the poor is profoundly revealed.
