May I ask where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village in the distance.
Translation:
The drizzle falls one after another during the Qingming Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, and all the travelers on the road are in despair.
Ask the locals where to buy a drink to soothe their worries? The shepherd boy smiled without answering and pointed to the village deep in the apricot blossoms.
Notes:
Qingming: one of the twenty-four solar terms, around April 5th in the Gregorian calendar. According to old customs, there are activities such as tomb sweeping, outing, and willow planting on that day. The palace regards that day as the Swing Festival. Swings are installed in Kunning Palace and various harems, and the concubines perform swing performances.
One after another: There are many descriptions.
Desperate the soul: Describes the deep sadness, as if the soul is about to be separated from the body. Broken soul: looking miserable and depressed. These two sentences mean that during the Qingming Festival, it rains continuously and continuously; with such weather and such a festival, pedestrians on the road are depressed and confused.
Excuse me.
Xinghua Village: A village deep in the apricot flowers. Today I am outside the gate of Xiushan, Guichi, Anhui Province. Influenced by this poem, later generations often used "Xinghua Village" as the name of the hotel.
