Tang-Du Mu

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.

Translation:

It's drizzling in Tomb-Sweeping Day this day, and people who travel on the road are as confused and desolate as those who have lost their souls. Asked the shepherd boy where there was a restaurant, he pointed to Xinghua Village in the distance.

Appreciation:

"Rain after rain" is not only an image description of the beautiful and misty climate in the south of the Yangtze River during the Qingming period, but also a metaphor description of the feelings of "pedestrians" including poets themselves. And "wanting to break one's soul" not only vividly outlines the walking posture of "pedestrians" marching in the wind, stumbling in the rain, but also vividly reveals the inner sadness of "pedestrians" who are saddened by the scenery, unable to return, unable to rest and sad. The natural landscape of "rain in succession" is in harmony with the psychological state of people who want to break their souls, and the scenery is love. Humorous and witty by the childish shepherd boy's body movements to illustrate the image.

Happily, with the "remote finger" of the "shepherd boy", the light fog permeates the middle and the shade is deep, clusters of apricot flowers are blooming, the wine flags are facing the wind, and the business is full. Sweep away the feminine and decadent atmosphere shrouded in front, it is fresh and beautiful, full of spring, suddenly enlightened and full of interest. What is even more amazing is that the "Yao" of this "Yao Zhi" is not far away, but far away. It is neither close at hand nor out of reach, and the beauty lies in the distance.
