Your phrase which was directly translated from Chinese as "wind 风flower花 says说 moon月" should be "风花雪月wind flower snow moon", which are the top 4 elements that every scholar of the olden days should include in their poetries, although indulging in such poetries, in today's world, it will have very little sense of economic productivity. Perhaps you must have mistaken 说 with 雪which are both pronounced as XUIT.

Thus, to engage in a wind-flower-snow-moon lifestyle, it was considered as a luxury to most of the common people who would look at the other aspect of 风花雪月as " 狂风;残花;寒雪;淡月" which are more realistic and relevant to many poor peasants. Alas, many bros do enjoy such a luxury
