It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road feel like dying. May I ask where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village in the distance.
Translation: During the Qingming Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, drizzle falls one after another, 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.
