From: "Magpie Bridge Fairy·Xianyun Nongqiao" is a poem written by Qin Guan, a poet in the Song Dynasty. Original text:

Magpie Bridge Immortal·Xianyun makes tricks

Song Dynasty: Qin Guan

Xianyun makes tricks, flying stars spread hatred, and the distance between Yin and Han is dark. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless others in the world.

Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can’t bear to look at the magpie bridge on my way back. If the love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?

Translation:

The thin clouds are changing in the sky, the shooting stars in the sky convey the sadness of lovesickness, and I quietly pass through the distant and endless Milky Way tonight. Meeting on the Chinese Valentine's Day in the autumn wind and white dew is better than those couples in the world who have been together for a long time but seem to be inseparable.

*** tells of lovesickness, tenderness is like water, the brief meeting is like a dream, and when parting, I can't bear to look at the Magpie Bridge Road. As long as the love lasts until death, there is no need to covet the happiness of each other.

Central idea: "Magpie Bridge Immortal" expresses a yearning for a beautiful, long-lasting and sincere love; but when applied to the poet, it should be a kind of self-comfort for the poet's own feelings. The author and his lover are in two places, and he can only comfort himself that the relationship will last forever.
