(brushing) painting (in general) and refined food or delicacies or luxurious/unusual food Explanation: the first four words do not mean any particular painting, they just stand for (brushing) painting, the last four words are an allusion to 明·冯梦龙《喻世明言》第十一卷:“有《鹧鸪天》词为证:城中酒楼高入天,烹龙煮凤味肥鲜。公孙下马闻香醉,一饮不惜费万钱。” , and refer to luxirous food, etc. Hoping you find the explanation helpful. |
