What does Twilight mean?
"Old age" refers to people after the age of 50. In addition, "twilight" is only an approximate age, which means "old age". The so-called old age refers to the age when you don't take part in labor. According to the Book of Rites, fifty years later can be called twilight. In the twilight, the ancient word "Mo" is like the setting sun in the grass (the grass is full of prints), indicating that it will be late.

Old age comes from the following sources:
