A pot of tea for the great cause of Spring and Autumn and three glasses of wine for the world of mortals. Don’t look back and think about the past.

From "Communication Skills of Great Wisdom" by Zhai Hongshen, a master of Chinese traditional culture.

This sentence means that the turbulent things in the world of mortals can be discussed over three cups and two glasses of light wine; any ambition for domination in the world can be spent over a pot of tea in the afternoon. The world of mortals and three glasses of wine, the great achievements of a thousand years and a pot of tea are obviously a comparison.

How does the vast mortal world taste compared to three glasses of wine, and the great achievements compared to a pot of tea? What the author means is, almost the same... In this case, why should we pursue hegemony so persistently in the world of mortals? Three glasses of light wine and a pot of tea are enough! !
