Qiu expressed the meaning of this poem in her own words with the help of notes.

Autumn Evening is a seven-character quatrain (Wang Jian's work) written by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a poem of palace resentment. This poem describes a lonely maid-in-waiting, looking up at the cowherd and weaver girl on both sides of the Tianhe River on Tanabata night, fanning fireflies from time to time to relieve loneliness, reflecting the unfortunate fate of court women and showing the depressed mood of an unaccompanied and bored official girl.

The meaning of this poem is:

Candlelight reflected the painting screen in autumn night.

Hit fireflies with a small fan.

The stone steps at night are as cool as cold water.

Sit quietly and stare at the cowherd and the weaver girl.
