It means: There are no colorful phoenix wings on the body, so they cannot fly together; but in the heart, they are like a consonant, and their emotions are closely connected.
It comes from the poem "Two Untitled Poems" by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin.
The whole poem is as follows:
The stars last night and the wind last night were on the west side of the painting building and on the east side of Guitang.
I don’t have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear mind.
Gouchun wine is given to every other seat to warm it up, and the wax-covered lamps are red.
I listened to the drum and went to answer the official question, walking around Malantai and turning around.
I heard the green flowers on the door of Daochang, and we looked at each other as far as the end of the world in the past.
Unexpectedly, a guest from Qin Lou peeked at the flowers in King Wu's garden one night.
The translation is as follows:
Last night’s starry sky and last night’s spring breeze were to the west of the painting building and to the east of Guitang.
Although the body does not have the wings of a colorful phoenix to fly to the same place, there is a clear connection in the heart.
The Gouchun wine sent across the seats is very warm, and the wax-covered lamps illuminated in separate groups are particularly red.
Sigh, I heard the drums and went to the government office to attend the meeting. When I rode to Lantai, my heart felt like a flying canopy.
I often heard people talking about Calyx Green Flower, but I always felt that she was far away in the world.
But after attending the feast like Xiao Shi, he didn't expect to be able to peek at the flowers in the palace.

Appreciation of Works
Li Shangyin's love poem "Untitled" is the most famous. These are two love poems. The poet recalled the banquet he attended last night in the back hall of a noble family, and expressed his nostalgia and melancholy about meeting the person he likes at the dinner table and creating a conflict. Among them, the first untitled poem ("Last Night's Stars and Last Night's Wind") is even more popular.
This group of poems is of extremely high artistic value, especially the first seven-rhythm poem, which is full of deep and lingering emotions, concise sentences and colorful colors, and is fluent and beautiful. The poet merged his feelings of life experience into his erotic feelings, and used colorful lyrics to contrast his trapped and frustrated feelings, creating an artistic realm that is full of emotion, grace and tranquility.
The intricate jumps of images in the poem also make the theme ambiguous and ambiguous. The depth and breadth of the poet's exploration of the spiritual world are indeed far ahead of his predecessors. Status, to a large extent, depends on the huge and lasting impact of such untitled poems.
