The first sentence "It rains in the Qingming Festival" describes the natural phenomenon of rain in the Qingming Festival since ancient times. Qingming, although it is in the season of green flowers and bright spring, is also the most obvious season of climate change, often accompanied by wind and rain.
As early as the Liang Dynasty, it was recorded that the Cold Food Festival in front of Tomb-Sweeping Day was often "windy and rainy". If it rains on Qingming Day, it is called "throwing fire and rain". The rain encountered in Du Mu's poems is "throwing fire rain".
Du Mu used the word "one after another" to describe the rain in the Qingming period, which can be said to be a wonderful image. If you use the word "one after another" to describe this snow, you will definitely think it should be heavy snow. After all, heavy snow is raging.
It is used to describe the rain in Mao Mao after the rain in Mao Mao, just like "the rain in the sky is as slippery as crisp". It can be said that the word "one after another" embodies the wonderful artistic conception of spring rain.
The second sentence, "Pedestrians on the road want to break their souls", expresses the confused mood of pedestrians. For Du Like Mu, a poet with rich feelings, it can be said that he has many ideas. If he travels alone, he will feel sad and drizzling.
Will add a layer of inexplicable sadness. No wonder Du Mu used the word "broken soul" to express his feelings. You know, the "broken soul" in poetry describes that kind of strong and profound feelings, such as love, disappointment, dark sorrow and deep hatred for acacia.
The first two sentences of the poem, Du Mu, describe the scene of pedestrians rushing in the rain during the Qingming Festival, which naturally leads to the following sentence: "Excuse me, where is the restaurant?" Find a small hotel where you can rest your feet, take shelter from the rain and have a few drinks to relieve the cold in spring.
The most important thing is to dispel the sadness that has sprouted in my heart. Therefore, this sentence of asking people for directions is extremely reasonable and extremely relevant to life. The last sentence, "The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village", gives the answer, which highlights Du Mu's superb artistic expression.
Generally speaking, when people ask for directions, the other person's answer is "sound", and the poet's "finger" here not only shows us the picture, but also hides the "sound" behind the answer.
It can be seen that Du Mu's technique is concise and superb. Also remind readers that there must be a hotel waiting for people walking in the rain in that beautiful Xinghua Village.
