Five colors are blind, five tones are deaf, five flavors are refreshing, and hunting is crazy. Strange goods can harm people. I'm sorry, what do you mean?
This sentence comes from Tao Te Ching, which means: colorful colors make people see things in a blur; Noisy sounds make people's hearing fail; Strong mixed smells hurt people's taste; Addicted to hunting and plunder, people's minds become wild and crazy; Rare things can lead people astray.

Chapter 12 of Tao Te Ching:

Five colors lead to blindness; Five tones are not deaf; Five flavors are refreshing; Galloping and hunting makes people crazy; Rare goods are an obstacle. It's the saint's stomach, not his eyes. Go and get this somewhere else.

The text takes "virtue" in the philosophical sense as the key link, and discusses the ways of self-cultivation, governing the country, using troops and keeping in good health, mostly focusing on politics. It is the so-called "inner sage and outer king", which has profound meaning and wide tolerance and is known as the king of all classics.
