Pinyin: ān yì
Source: The third chapter of "Feng Yun Hui" by Ming Luo Guanzhong: "It's very cold tonight. I don't seek comfort and come here in the snow, but why?"
Vernacular interpretation: The weather is very cold tonight. Why did you come here despite the heavy snow instead of seeking comfort?
Example of usage: I am working outside with my back to the sky, facing the loess, but you are at ease here, blowing on the air conditioner, cracking melon seeds and watching TV.
Comfort is a psychological state of inner comfort, rather than physical comfort and doing nothing. Comfort is a long-term sense of satisfaction with life and things, doing things in an orderly manner, and not being rushed in the heart. Comfort is associated with contentment and happiness~ (Example: Living and working in peace and contentment)
Comfort is also a mantra in Sichuan dialect, expressing comfort or a state of contentment. This meaning is still retained in Sichuan dialect today. The word "ease" also means "satisfactory, wonderful" in Sichuan dialect, and is widely used.
In Sichuan dialect, comfort can mean many things. Depends on where you use it. For example, when eating hot pot, after taking a bite, you say "comfort", which means it is delicious and tastes good. If someone has an easy job and a high salary, we will say "It's so comfortable", which means envy.
Going for an outing with friends, looking at the surrounding sky, clear clouds, red flowers and green willows, when you say "comfortable", it means beautiful, comfortable and satisfied. On a hot day, you turn on the air conditioner at home, drink cold drinks, and surf the Internet leisurely, and your friends say, "You are so comfortable." It means you enjoy it and feel comfortable.
