The sun in the west is infinitely beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is close to dusk. Two famous sayings are eternal. In the evening, the poet boarded the Chang 'an Le Garden Scenic Area gloomily, only to see a red sun setting in the west, which looked infinitely beautiful. He couldn't help chanting, "to see the sun, for all his glory is buried by the coming night." It means the sunset is good, but it doesn't last long. Among them, there are many feelings of appreciation and regret of poets!
