烈酒罪人清茶友人
[liè jiŭ zuì rén qīng chá yŏu rén]
Translated as 'hard liquor, a sinner; green tea, a friend,' this juxtaposition conveys two different sides of a lifestyle—one more indulgent or intense and another gentler, purer or healthier, reflecting internal conflicts or the balance one wishes to achieve between pleasure-seeking desires and peaceful harmony. It can also represent a contrast between two types of relationships.
