It means that it rains in the Qingming period in the south of the Yangtze River, and pedestrians on the road are down and out. From Tomb-Sweeping Day written by Du Mu in Tang Dynasty, this poem was written by Du Mu when he was the secretariat of Chizhou, and he was drinking through Xinghua Village in Jinling.
This poem depicts a picture of "asking for directions in the rain". Because the short poem shows a dynamic scene and is thought-provoking. In the process of asking for directions, the poet got help from others, so he felt warm in his heart, so he wrote it down in poetry. Tomb-Sweeping Day's customs are rich and interesting. In addition to paying attention to the prohibition of fire to sweep graves, there are a series of customs and sports activities such as jogging, swinging, cuju, playing polo and inserting willows.
