Where do the sounds of bamboo dew, pine, phoenix, banana, rain, tea, smoke, piano and rhyme come from?

"Bamboo dew, pine, phoenix, banana, rain, tea, smoke, music and rhyme" comes from a self-titled couplet by Ye Yuanzhang.

The original sentence is: the court is idle, the bamboo is loose, and the banana is raining; There is nothing at home, except tea, cigarettes, music and books.

The scenes described in the couplets are: cool breeze and white clouds outside the window, dew on bamboo leaves, rustling wind among pine forests, and banana rain under the porch at night until dawn. Those things that grow at home are just a foil to leisure outside the court. Too much leisure is mostly consumed in the years.

Couplets are a traditional metaphor.

This couplet is suitable for hanging on the main background of the teahouse, so that people can feel your elegance when they look up.
