Painting, calligraphy, piano, chess, poetry and hops are all inseparable from it.

Translation:
Seven elegant things in life: piano, chess, books, paintings, poems, wine and flowers, all enjoyed in those years are so romantic and unique. Now, these seven pastimes have all changed, replaced by those vulgar things in life.
Extended data
The contrast and transformation between elegance and vulgarity in poetry shows the actual living conditions of all beings in real life, while "rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea" corresponds to "calligraphy, painting, piano and chess poetry", which shows the author's originality and innovation. Because of the repeated use of passivated proverbs and poetic language, poetry has gained new glory, just like the end of a mountain, and suddenly a hundred flowers blossom.
