Original text:

The rain falls one after another during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

Where can I find a tavern? The shepherd boy pointed to the village of apricot blossoms.

Interpretation:

The weather is very changeable during the Qingming Festival, and the rain falls continuously. The first sentence "Qingming Festival rain one after another" wrote the "fire rain" characteristics (two days before Qingming is the Cold Sun Festival, the old custom to ban fire for three days, this time rain is called "fire rain").

The second sentence, "the road travelers want to break their souls," describes the state of mind of the travelers.

The second sentence "the roadwalkers want to break their souls" writes about the state of mind of the roadwalkers. "Break their souls" refers to the feeling of being very miserable and sorrowful inside without showing it outside. Qingming is a big festival in ancient times in China, as a rule, the family reunion, together on the grave cleaning, or trekking in the spring. Now the pedestrian is alone, in an unfamiliar place to hurry, the heart of the feeling is not good, but also the rain, clothes all wet, the state of mind is even more confused and chaotic.

How to get rid of the sadness? Pedestrian naturally think: the best in the neighborhood to find a restaurant, one to rest his feet, to avoid the rain; the second to drink some wine, to relieve the cold; more importantly, the wine can be dispersed in the heart of the sadness. So he asked for directions: "Where can I find a wine shop?" The question of who to ask, did not specify.

The word "shepherd boy" in the last sentence, "shepherd boy pointed to the village of apricot blossoms", is both the subject of the sentence and a complementary description of the object of the question in the previous sentence. The shepherd boy's answer replaces words with actions, and as pedestrians follow the direction of his finger, they can see a wine-wangzi (an ancient hotel banner) peeking out from the tops of the trees where red apricots are in full bloom.
