[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]

燈紅酒綠 [dēng hóng jiǔ lǜ] [deng hong jiu lu]—
Originally, it described the scene of a night drinking gathering (夜飲聚會 [ye yin ju hui]). Later, it was used to describe a life of nocturnal pleasure-seeking (尋歡作樂 [xun huan zuo le]), luxury, and debauchery (奢侈淫靡 [she chi yin mi]). From Chapter 3 (第三回 [di san hui]) of The Strange Phenomena of the Last Ten Years (《近十年之怪現狀 [jin shi nian zhi guai xian zhuang]》): "While speaking, all the courtesans arrived one after another. For a moment, pipes and strings were noisy (管弦嘈雜 [guan xian cao za]), bracelets clanged and hairpins flew (釧動釵飛 [chuan dong chai fei]), dazzled by money and pleasure (紙醉金迷 [zhi zui jin mi]), with red lights and green wine, until past nine o'clock, the banquet finally dispersed." Also written as "wine green lamp red" (酒綠燈紅 [jiu lu deng hong]).

燈紅酒綠:原描述夜飲聚會的情景。後用以形容夜晚尋歡作樂,奢侈淫靡的生活。《近十年之怪現狀》第三回:「說話之間,眾局陸續都到了,一時管弦嘈雜,釧動釵飛,紙醉金迷,燈紅酒綠,直到九點多鐘,方纔散席。」也作「酒綠燈紅」。
