南城以北花似海北海以南绿成荫
[nán chéng yĭ bĕi huā sì hăi bĕi hăi yĭ nán lǜ chéng yìn]
A metaphorical statement about locations: 'Flowers as abundant as the sea north of the southern city; verdure so dense it provides shade south of the northern sea.' It creates vivid, poetic imagery which expresses the beauty and vastness found within certain geographic contrasts, possibly suggesting a romanticism towards the diversity in landscapes or life situations.
