It’s a pity that the face will never be parted. The previous sentence is the annual meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
These two poems express a pessimistic emotion, that is, although the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can meet once a year, their faces are forever separated and they cannot truly be together. This emotion embodies the helplessness and bitterness in life. Even if there is a chance to meet, it cannot make up for the pain caused by separation.
The combination of "It's a pity that the faces will never be separated" and "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl's Annual Meeting" further highlights the helplessness and bitterness in life. Even if there is a chance to meet, it cannot truly make up for the pain caused by separation. By using the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, these two poems further emphasize the shortness and preciousness of life, reminding people to cherish the present and every gathering with relatives and friends.
