A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day; The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.
Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.
Du Mu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, is an upright, enthusiastic, uninhibited scholar who dares to list great events and can point out the advantages and disadvantages of Chen. In his early years, he didn't meet his talents. Later, he was appreciated by Prime Minister Li Deyu and was ordered to assassinate Huangchi, Mu and Hu in turn. Each term was not long.
The poem Qingming is obviously an early work of Du Mu before his assassination. The Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty seriously damaged the northern economy. In the late Tang Dynasty, the ruling class was corrupt, eunuchs were autocratic, class contradictions intensified, and peasant rebels rose everywhere, resulting in a bleak scene of "thousands of miles of weeds" and "empty houses". In this sparsely populated and war-torn environment, Du Mu wanted to buy a glass of wine in drizzly Tomb-Sweeping Day, but no one asked for directions. Fortunately, the shepherd boy pointed out to him the village where the wine was sold. Qingming not only describes the poet's feeling of lack of talents and unhappiness at that time, but also deeply exposes the suffering of the northern countryside in the late Tang Dynasty, and also satirizes the corruption of the ruling class and the feudal system of eunuch's exclusive power in the late Tang Dynasty.
