Tips
history
From 李商隐's Tang-dynasty poem 《登乐游原》: 向晚意不适，驱车登古原。夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏. It captures a late-Tang poet's admiration of the sunset mixed with resignation, hinting at an age of decline.
usage
Always paired with the following line 只是近黄昏 - beauty tinged with regret. In modern use it often describes the elderly: lovely, but with little time left.
