曲终人未散人散曲未终
[qŭ zhōng rén wèi sàn rén sàn qŭ wèi zhōng]
'Music Fades but the Audience Doesn't Disperse; People Part Ways but Music Isn't Ended' represents both melancholy and joy. The phrase depicts moments after a concert ends (metaphorical or literal). It suggests lingering feelings when people come together and then must go separate ways. The sentiment emphasizes human connections and lasting impressions made by certain music/occasions.
