"Waxing and waning of the augustness", which is from the poem "A Single Leaf" by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin. Just as the osmanthus emits its fragrant glow and the moon reflects like a mirror, the artist's mother was born in the eighth lunar month when the osmanthus is in full bloom. Despite the passage of time, this line of poetry is a historical coincidence that also implies the fate of women throughout history.
