The whole poem is as follows:
It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to die.
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. May I ask the local people where to buy wine to drown their sorrows? The shepherd boy smiled and pointed to Xinghua Mountain Village in the distance.

Poetry Appreciation
This little poem does not contain a single difficult word or an allusion. It is a very popular language, written with great ease, without any trace of artificiality. The syllables are very harmonious and perfect, the scene is very fresh and vivid, and the realm is beautiful and interesting. It is also natural for poems to be told from chapter to chapter, and they are written sequentially.
The first sentence describes the situation, environment, and atmosphere, which is "qi"; the second sentence is "acceptance", which describes the character and shows the character's confused and confused state of mind; the third sentence is " "Turn", however, it also proposed a way to get rid of this state of mind; and this directly forced the fourth sentence, which became the highlight of the whole article - "joint".
In art, this is a technique of starting from low to high, gradually rising, and putting the climax at the end. The so-called climax is not a sweeping view and a dull feeling, but a vague and thought-provoking aftertaste.
