温酒伴月落醉酒叹挽歌
[wēn jiŭ bàn yuè luò zuì jiŭ tàn wăn gē]
'Warm wine until dawn then intoxicated to mourn dirges'. This poetic phrase evokes scenes of solitude where one warms their heart with liquor during a moonlit night, ending with them lamenting and singing funeral hymns when the dawn comes. Such melancholic scenery is used in ancient literature frequently, representing a kind of literati sentiment.
