It rained a lot during my stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
Pedestrians on the road want to die.
Ask local people where to buy wine?
The shepherd boy just laughed and didn't answer Xingshan Village.
[Notes]
1. Soul-breaking: describes a sad mood.
2. Sorry: Sorry.
3. pointing: pointing to the distance.
[Brief analysis]
This poem describes the weather characteristics in Tomb-Sweeping Day and expresses the feelings and hopes of people who walk alone.
During the Qingming Festival, the weather is changeable, sometimes the spring is bright, the flowers are red and green, and sometimes it is drizzling. The first sentence "It rains in succession during the Qingming Festival" describes the characteristics of "throwing fire and rain" (the first two days in Tomb-Sweeping Day are cold days, and the old custom forbids fire for three days. This time is called "throwing fire rain"). The second sentence "pedestrians on the road want to break their souls" is about the mood of pedestrians. "Soul-breaking" refers to feelings that are very sad but not exposed. Why does this pedestrian "want to break his soul"? Because Tomb-Sweeping Day is a big festival in ancient China, as usual, families get together to pay homage to the grave or go for an outing. Now that pedestrians are traveling alone in strange places, the taste in their hearts is already bad. It happened that he was caught in another rain, his clothes were all wet, and his mood was even more sad.
How to dispel melancholy? Pedestrians will naturally think: it is best to find a hotel nearby to have a rest and shelter from the rain; Second, drink some wine to relieve the cold; More importantly, you can use wine to dispel the sadness in your heart. So he asked the way: "Excuse me, where is the restaurant?" Who did you ask? I didn't specify. The word "shepherd boy" in the last sentence "the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village" is both the subject of this sentence and the object of the previous sentence. The shepherd boy's answer replaced words with actions. Pedestrians looked in the direction of his finger and saw a son (a symbol of ancient hotels) vaguely exposed in a treetop full of red apricots. This poem came to an abrupt end here. As for how happy pedestrians are when they hear this news, they are excited to catch up and find a hotel for a few drinks, so as to get satisfaction such as shelter from the rain, relieving the cold and eliminating worries. These are left to the reader to imagine.
Due to the widespread spread of this poem, the word "Xinghua Village" became another name for this restaurant in later generations.
Su Xinshi xugong branch
Yang Wanli
Hedges are sparse and deep,
The flowers at the top of the tree are not shady.
The children chased Huang Die,
Flying into cauliflower is nowhere to be found.

5. hurry: run.
[Brief analysis]
This is a poem describing the rural scenery in late spring, which gives us a picture of children flapping butterflies in spring.
The first two sentences, "the hedge is sparse and deep, and the flowers on the tree head are not shaded", point out the background of children catching butterflies. There are sparse fences and deep paths here. There are some trees near the fence, and the petals are falling from the branches one by one, and the young leaves are not yet turbid. Fences and paths point out that this is the countryside; "Flowers fall before they turn cloudy" and "cauliflower" in the sentence indicate that it is late spring season.
The last two sentences, "Children chase after Huang Die and fly into cauliflower, and there is nowhere to be found", turn the crayon to the center of the picture and depict the happy scene of children catching butterflies. "Catch up" and "catch up" mean to run fast and catch up quickly. These two verbs are very vivid, vividly depicting children's innocent and lively, curious and competitive manner and psychology. And "flying into cauliflower is nowhere to be found" will suddenly turn the moving lens into stillness. The word "nowhere to be found" left readers room for imagination and aftertaste, as if a child who was at a loss in the face of a golden cauliflower appeared in front of us.
This poem is simple, natural and vivid by using the technique of line drawing. Yang Wanli, an honest official, was once hated by traitors. After being removed from office, he lived in a village for a long time. He is very familiar with rural life, and his description of nature is very touching and interesting.
This park is not worth visiting.
Ye Shaoweng
Pity should be given to the moss on the fangs,
Small mouth firewood flies for a long time.
You can't close the garden in spring,
An almond came out of the wall.
[Notes]
1. worthless: I didn't meet anyone.
2. fangs: the protruding parts at the lower ends of the clogs.
3. Small buckle: pat lightly.
4. Chai Fei: A simple door made of branches.
[Brief analysis]
This little poem describes what the poet saw and felt when he visited the garden in spring, which is very vivid and interesting.
The first two sentences, "Pity the dog's teeth, seal the moss, and Chai Fei won't open for a long time", show that the author didn't meet his relatives and friends, and the garden door was closed, so he couldn't enjoy the spring flowers in the garden. However, it is very humorous, saying that it is probably because the garden owner cherishes the moss in the garden and is afraid that my fangs will leave traces of trampling on it, so Chai Fei has been delayed. The host is not at home, deliberately saying that the host intends to refuse the guests. This is to pave the way for the following poem. The last two sentences are more novel because of the concept of "pity for teeth and moss": although the owner selfishly closed the garden door and seemed to want to leave spring scenery alone in the garden, "spring scenery can't be closed all over the garden, and an apricot will come out of the wall." The latter two poems are vivid and have strange ideas. Both "spring scenery" and "red apricot" are anthropomorphic, which contain feelings and logic in the scenery, which can arouse many associations of readers and be inspired by philosophy: "spring scenery" can't be caged, and "red apricot" will inevitably "come out of the wall" to announce the coming of spring. Similarly, all new and beautiful things can't be stopped or imprisoned, and it will surely break through any bondage and flourish.
