故人以南爱荒凉爱人以南爱荒凉
[gù rén yĭ nán ài huāng liáng ài rén yĭ nán ài huāng liáng]
'Gu Ren Yi Nan Ai Huang Liang': 'Loving Barrenness South of Former People/South of Love Lies Desolation'. This indicates loving loneliness or desolate places south of one's former connections. There might have been relationships once filled with love which became barren over time, and those are situated to the southern direction. It signifies a journey into solitude and perhaps the feeling of emptiness in heart post any lost relationship or place.
