What do you mean by drinking coffee and eating garlic?

"Coffee with garlic, autumn waters and sky are the same color" means the connection between vulgarity and elegance, which comes from Degang Guo's cross talk "You want elegance".

First of all, the phrase "drink coffee with garlic" shows that coffee is not a daily necessity for ordinary people, so there is always petty bourgeoisie, so it is elegant; And garlic, for the poor and the nobility, does not care about ordinary things, so it will always be vulgar, and it is hard to say that it is elegant.

But who says you can't drink coffee gracefully with a garlic mouth? Coffee drinkers will never touch such vulgar things as garlic. Many times, I forget the smell of garlic as soon as I wipe my mouth and sip coffee. Coffee and garlic are perfectly unified without violating. Vulgarity and elegance will enter the stomach in any case, so using "autumn water * * * the sky is the same color" to express that vulgarity and elegance will reach the same goal by all means.

Extended data:

The theory of coffee and garlic describes the north-south culture with "garlic and coffee", which has aroused heated discussion.

The difference of values between North and South determines the difference of aesthetic taste between North and South. There is no difference in taste, in fact, taste is nothing. The so-called taste, even taste, some people like to eat sweet, some people like to eat salty, some people like to eat spicy, some people like to eat sour. There is no distinction between high and low.

However, coffee and garlic are very different in expression. For example, people who like garlic only know the smell, no matter how smelly, they all like to drink coffee, right? Swallow it yourself and spread the fragrance all over the world. In fact, this is only a description in the cultural sense, without any ridicule or belittling.
