白的花胜似绿的叶浓的酒不如淡的茶
[bái de huā shèng sì lǜ de yè nóng de jiŭ bù rú dàn de chá]
Meaning white flowers are better than green leaves, thick liquor does not compare to light tea. Perhaps this person is pursuing simplicity, understatement, peace; preferring a tranquil life like tea, away from the heavy taste of alcohol and ostentatious blooming.
