📖 Meaning

📜 Origin Story
The idiom originates from the Ming dynasty play Ren Jin Shu (认金梳), Act 3, by an anonymous author. In the scene, a character raises a jade cup brimming with wine and urges his companion not to waste such a fine evening and beautiful scenery. The phrase has since been used to praise a night of exceptional beauty. It is essentially interchangeable with the widely used 良宵美景.
