Five Mounds, horse and furs in a poem by Du Fu:

同學少年多不賤，
五陵衣馬自輕肥。

The young men I once studied with are now most not of low degree;
By Five Barrows their horses are plump and the mantles they wear are light.

Five Barrows, named for the tumuli of five Han emperors, had become in the Tang a fashionable residential area just outside Chang’an. The rest of the line echoes a famous passage in the Analects (V.25) in which the disciple Zilu, responding to a request from Confucius that he state his wishes, said: “I wish for horse and carriage and to be mantled in light furs, then to share them with my friends; and even if they were to ruin them, I would not be distressed.”
