When crows and magpies make noise in the dark trees, who will cry when eating cold food during the Qingming Festival?

Tangli flowers reflect the poplar trees, which is the place where life and death part.
There is a heavy spring that cannot be heard, and people go back in the rain.

Begonia flowers and pear blossoms shade the poplar trees. This is a place where life and death are parted. The deceased cannot hear our cries in the dim underworld, and those who come to pay homage go back amidst the gentle rain in the evening.
