Du Mu's poem Qingming Festival has been rewritten by many people as follows:
Literati and writers of all ages will splash ink every time they come to Tomb-Sweeping Day, and express their feelings around the theme of Tomb-Sweeping Day, including remembering their old friends, depicting the beautiful scenery of Qingming Festival and expressing their aspirations by borrowing things. Among them, Qingming, a seven-character quatrain written by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, is the most widely circulated, and it is almost a household name, and it is well known to all women and children.
Because this poem has been sung for a long time, there are many hearsay stories about it, because people like it so much that they even rewrite it into many versions, accompanied by many interesting legends. Modern people study this poem more deeply. They even doubt the real author of this poem through the author Du Mu's life experience.
The reason why this poem has been widely circulated is that the language is easy to understand, and there are no allusions, no obscure images and no traces of carving. The ancients changed it into other poems. This is a seven-character quatrain poem, and some people try to subtract a few words and turn it into a six-character, five-character or even three-character poem. If a complete poem is deleted, it is easy to harm the meaning because of its words. This five-character poem should be harmless: it rains in the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians want to break their souls. Where is the restaurant? It refers to Xinghua Village.
Some people skillfully cut the number of words, and they can actually change it into an ancient word. This word changed punctuation without deleting a word: it rained during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians were on the road, trying to break their souls. Excuse me, where is the restaurant? There is a shepherd boy, pointing to Xinghua Village. You can also form new ancient words by deleting the number of words, which are all word games of ancient people.
At the same time, some busybodies even adapted this poem into a drama, a one-act short play, a movie script, etc., and even some scholars used this poem to ask for meat and wine. It is said that a scholar was a tutor in a wealthy family, but he was very unhappy. The students asked him for a composition topic, and he wrote "Excuse me, where is the restaurant?" .
Because of its beautiful poem and excellent artistic conception, this poem has always been enjoyed by many people. At the same time, some people have adapted this poem into a new poem, changed it into a short prose play, and even quoted it into their daily life. Some people have even verified the author of this poem and the regional dispute of Xinghua Village in this poem, all of which are due to people's love for this poem.
