What's the point of fighting on the snail's horn? The meaning of this body in the stone fire light is that people living in the world are like being cramped on that small snail's horn. The space is so narrow, what else is there? What are you fighting for? Life is short, just like a little fire emitted at the moment when stones collide, life passes like this.

Wine---Bai Juyi
What's the fight over the snail's horn? This body is in the light of stone fire.
To follow the poor and the rich and be happy, but not to smile is to be an idiot.
"Drinking" was written by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The background of the creation was that Tang Xianzong died violently in Chang'an and Tang Mu Zong succeeded to the throne.

At that time, the government was in chaos, with ministers vying for power and fighting openly and secretly. Mu Zong was politically idle and did not listen to advice. So Bai Juyi strongly requested to be released.
In the second year of Mu Zong's Changqing reign (822 AD), he served as the governor of Hangzhou. After completing his term in Hangzhou, he became the governor of Suzhou. In his later years, he was appointed as the guest of the prince to the Eastern Capital. He became an official at the age of seventy. In the seventh year of Kaicheng of the Tang Dynasty (841 AD, the first year of Huichang) Wuzong Li Yan took over the throne.
