"Jiang Chengzi" by Su Shi
Ten years of life and death are so vast that they cannot be forgotten without thinking. Thousands of miles of lonely tomb, nowhere to say desolation. Even if we meet each other, we should not know each other, our faces are covered with dust and our temples are like frost.
At night, I suddenly returned home from a deep dream. I was dressing up outside the small window. They looked at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears. It is expected that the place where the heart is broken every year, on a bright moonlit night, there are short pine hills.
Comments: This is a love poem written during the Qingming Festival. Su Shi married Wang Fu when he was 19 years old. The couple harmonized with each other and loved each other. Unexpectedly, Wang Fu died ten years later and was buried in his hometown. Ten years after his wife's death, Su Shi, who was an official in Mizhou, dreamed of his late wife during the Qingming Festival. Although the living and the dead are forever separated by the netherworld, they "will never be forgotten without thinking about it." Especially the scene in the dream where the couple looked at each other without saying anything was touching.

"Qingming" by Huang Tingjian
On the Qingming Festival, the peaches and plums smile, and the wild graves only produce sorrow. Thunder shakes the sky and earth, dragons and snakes sting, and rain falls on the grass and trees in the countryside.
People beg for sacrifices for their arrogant concubines, and scholars burn unjust princes to death. The wise and foolish have known who they are for thousands of years, and their eyes are full of basil and grass.
Comments: From the flowers blooming, I think of the dead in the wilderness and the value of life. Although no matter how wise or stupid they are, they are all the same in the end, but the meaning of life is very different. This is just as contemporary people say, whether you are an official or a citizen, you will eventually return to the same point: growing old. It's just that the process of life is different. The author's Qingming poem has a much deeper intention. It not only pays tribute to the dead, but also serves as a warning to the living.

"Cold Food Ambition Song" by Bai Juyi
Crows and magpies make noise in the dark trees. Who will cry when eating cold food during the Qingming Festival? Paper money flies in the wind in the wilderness, and the spring grass is green on the ancient tombs.
Tangli flowers reflect the poplar trees, which is the place where life and death are separated. The heavy spring in the dark cannot be heard, and the people go back in the rain.
Comments: Bai Juyi is good at using description to exaggerate the atmosphere in this poem. The paper money blowing in the wind and the ancient tombs all give people a sense of desolation and eternity. Ancient love. Tangli and Poplars are originally a place of scenery, but in Bai Juyi's eyes, they are "a place of separation between life and death", which expresses the impermanence of life.

Farmers recruit love-building boats, and the spring grass is green and the fields are green. I tried to go up to Wumen to get a glimpse of the county, and there was new smoke in several places during the Qingming Festival.
