"food and color are also." Everything between heaven and earth is thriving. How can you live without the word "color"? This is human nature, human nature. But if you indulge in excessive debauchery, "color is a steel knife for scraping bones", it will be extremely harmful. For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Rui, because of his lust for Wang Xifeng, turned to intercede, having too much spermatorrhea during sexual intercourse and finally losing his spermatorrhea.
For the emperor with boundless power, it is even more "color is a steel knife for scraping bones." Most emperors died short-lived, because there were countless harem beauties, and the emperors were uncontrollable and often "hollowed out" by too much sex. Some emperors still like to have fun with pills with aphrodisiac function, and they want to live forever, but they don't know that he is accelerating to death under the steel knife of "color" and chronic heavy metal poisoning.
"Colorless passers-by are sparsely smoked" means that if both men and women are not "sexy" and have no interest in sex, it will not be conducive to human reproduction, so that the population will become less and less and the road will be cut off by weeds. In this case, mankind will gradually become extinct. The combination of the two sentences means that sexual desire is one of human desires and should be treated dialectically. It is neither absolute nor vertical, so we must strike a good balance.
