南悸酌酒北孤安凉
[nán jì zhuó jiŭ bĕi gū ān liáng]
Loosely translated as 'Southern palpitations sipping wine; Northern loneliness quietly soothing', it conveys contrasting emotions and experiences. The juxtaposition of agitation/sensory enjoyment in the South versus calm/isolation in the North creates a poetic expression of inner turmoil and peace.
