There is white dew in the evening, and the leaves are cool.

You sit opposite each other, depressed.
3. Background:
In 8 15, prime minister Wu was assassinated, and Bai Juyi advocated that it was considered ultra vires to crack down on the murderer. Later, Bai Juyi was slandered: his mother fell into a well to see flowers and died, but Bai Juyi wrote poems about "appreciating flowers" and "new wells", which was detrimental to the famous religion. Therefore, he was demoted to Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) Sima. I got together with my friends when I was sad and improvised this poem.

It expresses the poet's feeling of impermanence of life in autumn night, with friends, by hanging on peony-like fleeting spring flowers.
