一梦黄粱一壶酒
[yī mèng huáng liáng yī hú jiŭ]
Derived from a classic Chinese phrase 'yellow rice dream', it implies that what seems like a great and lasting dream or success is in fact fleeting and short-lived. 'A jar of wine' here adds an atmosphere of melancholy and escapism, expressing how people seek solace and escape the reality through alcohol when facing dreams that are easily broken.
