Tips
history
The setting sun was said to linger in the tops of mulberry and elm trees, so 桑榆 came to mean dusk and then old age. 刘禹锡's 莫道桑榆晚，为霞尚满天 'do not say the mulberry-and-elm hour is late; its glow still fills the sky' is quoted to encourage the old.
usage
In the saying 失之东隅，收之桑榆 'lost at sunrise, regained at sunset', 东隅 is the east where the sun comes up: to make up later for an earlier loss.
