What does it mean to be unenvious of lovebirds and unenvious of immortality?

One, only envious of mandarin ducks not envious of immortality: from one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, Lu Zhaolin's "Ancient Meaning of Chang'an" is a common saying. The meaning is just envy can be like lovebirds hand in hand with the same old, with each other for life. As long as it can be like this, even if it can be the gods in the sky do not want.

The second sentence is from "Ancient Ideas of Chang'an" by Lu Zhaolin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and is excerpted from:

When we look at each other in front of the building, we don't know each other, and when we meet each other on the stranger's street, we know each other.

Let me ask you about your blowjob to the purple smoke; I used to learn to dance for years.

Why should we not die if we can be compared to each other, and why should we not be envious of the immortals?

Being envious of each other, we can't see each other going and coming together.

It's a shame to have to embroider a lone bird in the tent, but it's a good thing to have two swallows on the curtain.

Translation

The ladies on the pavilion looked at each other without knowing who the other was, but they would know each other when they met on the road. Ask them if they have ever had a blowjob, and they reply that they once spent their flowering years learning to dance. As long as you can stay together with your beloved, you are willing to die; as long as you can stay together with your beloved, you are willing to be mortal and not envious of the immortals. Double come and go flounder and mandarin ducks really enviable, have you not seen them? The most disgusted with the embroidery of a lone luan bird on the drapery, removed and replaced with another embroidered with two swallows on the curtain.
