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? Pastoral nursery rhymes refer to Xinghua Village.
3. Vernacular translation:
On this day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, it was drizzling all over the sky, and pedestrians on the road were depressed and looked sad. Excuse me, where can I get a small hotel? The shepherd boy pointed to the beautiful village deep in the apricot blossom in the distance.

Literary appreciation:
During the Qingming Festival, the weather is changeable, sometimes the spring is bright, the flowers are red and green, and sometimes it is drizzling.
1, the first sentence of the poem, "It rains in succession during the Qingming Festival", points out the natural conditions such as time and weather where the poet lives. Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the major festivals in the Tang Dynasty. On this day, there are various activities, such as family reunion, grave sweeping, or outing.
But Tomb-Sweeping Day, Chizhou where Du Mu lives, is in a foreign land. There is no sunshine every day, but "the rain in the sky is crisp" and it is raining in Mao Mao. The word "one after another" describes the continuous spring rain, and I am also upset about this continuous spring rain. This gives people a picture of the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
2. The second sentence, "Pedestrians on the road want to break their souls", is to push others by themselves and focus on writing people's emotional world. It has been drizzling one after another. I not only go my own way, but also feel sad and heartbroken when I see pedestrians on the road, because these are all mourning for my deceased relatives today. So the poet used the word "broken soul" to write the sadness under this spring rain. This is a unique skill in China's classical poetry, and it is also a kind of scenery, in which emotion is in the scene, and the scene is emotion.
3. The third sentence "Where is the restaurant?" is to ask others if there is a hotel. "Hotel" restaurants, just like the current "so-and-so hotel, grand hotel", can eat and drink. Please forgive me. Who to ask, the poem did not say, omitted, and later the author added the right person to ask.
Why does the poet ask "restaurant"? Shelter from the rain or "drink"? Both. By asking questions, the poet not only makes the language of poetry concise, but also forms the aesthetic space of poetry, leaving room for readers to think, and also implies the idea of "drinking to drown their sorrows", thus showing the poet's worries. ?
"Where is it?" Where there is, there is meaning. The poet is not looking for it himself, but "asking questions" and "where is it?" It shows the poet's eagerness to seek shelter from the rain, rest, eat and drink, and ease his bad mood.
4. In the last sentence, "The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village", the poet finally found his place. "Shepherd boy" is the point and supplement to the object of asking for directions. "Pointing far" means pointing far away, and the place the poet is looking for is within reach. The meaning of the shepherd boy has the charm of "a bright village with a dark willow", which makes the poet seem to see the end of a faint red apricot and clearly pick out a wine curtain-"the wine-looking son"
The Shepherd Boy's Finger brings poets and readers into a new realm different from the previous misery. Here, the poet has created a vivid picture, which makes people fascinated. In the Grand View Garden in A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a place named "Apricot curtain in sight" by Jingzi. The expression of "in sight" comes from this experience and is only a footnote of this sentence. The poem is restrained before and promoted after, and the contrast is staggered, which makes each other interesting.
