If the four bodies are not diligent, the five grains cannot be distinguished, the writing cannot be measured, and the martial arts cannot defend oneself. What does it mean?

It means that if the limbs are not strong, one cannot work, one cannot distinguish crops such as grains, one cannot learn Chinese characters, and one cannot defend oneself after practicing martial arts. "One Hundred Thousand Hippies" from the Universal Youth Hotel, the lyrics are as follows,

Mr. Dong Erqian, who had a big dream,

opened the window and raised the telescope,

A puff of smoke reflected in his eyes.

There is no way forward, no way back,

hostile to reality, imaginary distance,

Looking around, nothing good.

If the four bodies are not diligent, the five grains cannot be distinguished,

We cannot measure words with words, and cannot defend ourselves with force.

Creative background

Taiwanese singer Tian Fuzhen (Hebe) sang a cover of Magnum Youth Hotel's "One Hundred Thousand Plays" during the "If" tour concert Skin" was not only praised by fans as "great", but also ridiculed by netizens as "it turns out that the goddess also has a rock'n'roll heart".

"One Hundred Thousand Hippies" comes from the first album of the same name by the Shijiazhuang Universal Youth Hotel Band, a band founded in the 1990s. It also appeared as an episode in the Shijiazhuang original online drama "Mao Liar". This is an eternal hymn in the hearts of many music fans.

The link that connects them is the eternal sorrow and eternal anger of the poet's unfulfilled ambition. Wine and poetry are both ways for poets to express their anger and open-mindedness. The poet used his unique imagination and without any pretense, he naturally came up with the poem "The mountains are beautiful and the water of Xiang is flat". The sentence "Baling has unlimited wine, drunkenness kills Dongting in autumn" is a clever metaphor and is evocative.
