短长亭送别
[duăn zhăng tíng sòng bié]
In classical Chinese literature, pavilions are common sites for farewells. A pavilion of various lengths refers generally to a meeting place for partings. 'Pavilion Parting: Farewell at the Wayside Pavilion' signifies the sentiment of departure, likely drawing on traditional scenes found in stories or operas where couples or friends must say goodbye, often before travels or at critical moments in narratives. It evokes melancholy reflection upon endings and new journeys.
