迟乔已散
[chí qiáo yĭ sàn]
'Chi Qiao has dispersed'. 'Chi' means late and 'Qiao' here likely means the Magpie bridge - from Chinese mythology, magpies formed a bridge to allow separated lovers (Cowherd and Weaver girl) reunite for one day. The 'scattering' of this metaphorical bridge indicates the end of a meeting or relationship, hinting at sadness for something that once brought joy but no longer exists.
