During the Qingming Festival, the rain is full of poems.
Author: Du Mu
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day; The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.
Ask local people where to buy wine? The shepherd boy just laughed and didn't answer Xingshan Village.

During the Qingming Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, the drizzle drifted one after another, and all the passengers on the road were down and out.
Where can local people buy wine to drown their sorrows? The shepherd boy just smiled and pointed to Xinghuashan Village. It was raining in Mao Mao, Tomb-Sweeping Day, and people traveling on the road were as confused and desolate as those who lost their souls. Asked where there is a restaurant, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village at a distance. This poem describes the weather characteristics in Tomb-Sweeping Day and expresses the feelings and hopes of people who walk alone.

To annotate ...
Qingming: one of the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar. Around April 5 in the solar calendar, there is a custom of walking to sweep graves.
One by one: multiple descriptions.
Broken soul: looks sad and unhappy.
Excuse me: Excuse me.
Xinghua village: a village deep in apricot flowers. Influenced by this poem, later generations often take "Xinghua Village" as the name of the hotel.
During the Qingming Festival, the rain guessed three numbers in a row.
The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village and guessed three numbers: the number is: 4, 1, 9. Because: Du Mu's poem: It rains in succession during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
Ask local people where to buy wine? The shepherd boy just laughed and didn't answer Xingshan Village. Tomb-Sweeping Day, so: Guess the number is: 4.
Shepherd boy pointing away: pointing away means pointing away with your fingers. Usually point to the distance with one finger. So the guess number is: 1.
Xinghua Village: Because it is: Excuse me, where is the restaurant? Xinghua village is a place to sell wine. So the guess is: 9.
Make an appreciative comment
The first sentence of the poem, "It rains in succession during the Qingming Festival", points out the natural conditions such as time and weather where the poet lives. Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the major festivals in the Tang Dynasty. On this day, there are various activities, such as family reunion, grave sweeping or outing. However, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Chizhou, where Du Mu lives, is not sunny, but "the sky is falling like crisp" with continuous drizzle.
The second sentence "pedestrians on the road want to break their souls" is changed from objective writing to subjective writing, focusing on the poet's emotional world. He was heartbroken and sad when he saw passers-by mourning their dead relatives.
Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The poet was immersed in the scenery, extremely sad, but had to trudge in the rain. The rain is wet and the spring is chilly. The poet hopes to drown his sorrows by drinking. So he asked people for directions.
The conclusion of the sentence "the shepherd boy points to the apricot blossom village" points out the object of the poet's asking for directions in the previous sentence. The Shepherd's Guide to the Maze brings readers into a new realm different from the previous misery. The warm and sweet voice of the little shepherd boy, the apricot flowers in the distance, the noise of spring, and the wine flag fluttering at the head of the village. The first two sentences of the rhyme "There is another village in the dark" really create a sad and sad artistic picture. Consistent with the poet's emotional pulse.
