笑醉歌寒
[xiào zuì gē hán]
'Laughing Drunken Singing Cold' combines elements of laughter, drinking, singing (often when one feels merry) juxtaposed against the feeling of coldness (can imply loneliness or melancholy), suggesting an attempt at seeking merriment to overcome sorrow or inner isolation. It captures an ambivalence between trying to cheer oneself up despite deep-seated melancholia.
