The whole poem is: the wine in Zhumen stinks and the road freezes to death. Prosperity and decline are very different, melancholy and indescribable. It means that in Zhumen, the wine and meat of the rich give off an attractive aroma. On this road, who will bury the poor who froze to death and starved to death? Just a few steps apart, there are two different worlds of bitterness and joy. The injustice in the world makes me sad and angry, and I can't talk about it anymore!

The screams of monkeys on both sides of the strait hardly stopped echoing in my ears.

"Zhumen wine stinks and freezes bones" is a famous sentence of Du Fu, a great poet in Tang Dynasty. The word "smelly" is quite controversial. Yu Pingbo said: "Wine and meat are products, so let them rot. There is no need to cherish them." But Wang Xiaoxiang said: "Smell has a split explanation in ancient times." That is, it can be interpreted as "stinky rot" or "aroma". Wang Xiaoxiang holds "fragrance".

In his view, when the great poet saw the wild land with hunger and cold and bones lying on the road in the severe winter, Zhumen burst into wine and meat, and couldn't help singing this famous sentence of grief and indignation. In normal times, although meat can stink, how can wine stink? Moreover, how can the dignitaries in Zhumen let the wine and meat rot without cleaning it up? Therefore, Wang Xiaoxiang believes that it is unreasonable to interpret the word "smelly" as "smelly rot". He also quoted Yuan Zhen's poem on Du Fu's epitaph to illustrate Yuan Zhen's admiration: "The wine and meat in the city are smelly, and the Xu family in the county is successful."

Yuan's "smelly wine and meat" is the imitation of "smelly wine and meat", which means "delicious wine and meat".
