Because Xu Chang'an always says he's just a commoner, Yun Qian believes she's a commoner too.
She's familiar with some so-called refined matters.
Zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, along with singing and dancing, are the Six Arts for women, and these arts are complemented by tea, hence tea is connected to the Six Arts.
Thus, zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea can all be part of cultivation.
But Yun Qian.
Among zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she only knows how to write, and that is by following her husband's handwriting.
Among poetry, wine, flowers, and tea, she only loves drinking, because alcohol gives courage to timid people.
Especially tea, which connects all arts... she feels she cannot manage; after all, she prefers the joy of wine over the tranquility of tea... Though in reality, she can avoid drinking too, since it's just for amusement.
As for what joy it brings...
