Literary emotion

In ancient China, poets liked to express their feelings of old age, weakness and hard-to-pay ambition with the scenery of sunset. A famous example is the two sentences "The sunset is infinitely beautiful and buried by the night before" written by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty, which expresses this feeling. In western literature, sunset is usually associated with depression and other emotions. For example, the little prince in St. Exupery's The Little Prince especially likes watching the sunset.
