The phrase "a bosom friend is rare in life" comes from Jin Zun Yin written by Essien Joe Luo Hongzhou. The original poem wrote:
Things are impermanent and expensive, and cups and tables are drunk. It's rare to have a bosom friend in life. Push a cup for a change and change past lives. Translated as:
Many things in the world are difficult to predict and explain clearly. It is better to indulge in wine, eat, drink and be merry in time. I drank my beloved Taro wine cup by cup until I was so drunk that I couldn't see the world's troubles. It is difficult for us to meet a few congenial friends in our life, drink and chat together, talk about the past and the present, and talk about the land;

Appreciation of this poem;
Hong Zhou, the so-called "confused prince", adopted an evasive strategy in the battle for the throne. He used a song "Ode to a Golden Zun" to show that he had no intention of imperial power. He just wanted to eat, drink and enjoy himself. This not only saved the prosperity of himself and his descendants, but also taught him how to be a brother, a monarch and a minister. This is the true wisdom of stupidity.
Today, we reread this seven-character quatrain. I believe that people who have seen all the vicissitudes will feel the same way. I believe that dealing with family disputes and workplace disputes is of little benefit.
