宫商怎堪言
[gōng shāng zĕn kān yán]
'Gong Shang Zen Kan Yan' derives from traditional Chinese music notation, where 'Gong' and 'Shang' are musical notes. The phrase reflects the depth of emotions or melodies beyond easy articulation - it suggests there are feelings too complex to express with words, often related to sorrow or melancholic tunes resonating innermost sentiments not suitable for public discourse.
