What's the weather like in Tomb-Sweeping Day?

During the Qingming Festival, it rained and danced. In such weather and festivals, pedestrians on the road are depressed and upset.

This poem is from Du Mu's Tomb-Sweeping Day. This day is Tomb-Sweeping Day. The poet Du Mu happened to get caught in the rain during his trip. Qingming, although it is a season of blooming green flowers and bright spring, is also a period when the climate is easy to change, and it often catches up with "noisy weather"

As early as the Liang Dynasty, it was recorded that there were often "strong winds and even rain" during the Cold Food Festival in Tomb-Sweeping Day two days ago. If it rains on Qingming Day, there is also a special name called "pouring rain on fire". The poet Du Mu met such a day.

The poet used the word "one after another" to describe the "pouring rain" that day, which was really great. "One after another", if described by snow, should be heavy snow. The so-called "one after another, heavy snow falls in succession". But when it rains, the situation is just the opposite. It is not the heavy rain that makes people feel "one after another", but the rain in Mao Mao. This rain in Mao Mao is the characteristic of spring rain.

There is a lot of rain in Mao Mao, which is the kind of rain that is "like crisp rain in the sky". It is different from the torrential rain in summer, and it is by no means the same as the intermittent autumn rain. This song "After the Rain" just captures the spirit of Tomb-Sweeping Day's "pouring fire on the rain" and conveys the beautiful realm of "being a cold bully, having a bright future and another village".

This "one after another" is naturally a description of the artistic conception of spring rain; But it's more than that. It also has a special function, that is, it actually describes the mood of travelers in the rain.

The following sentence: "pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." A pedestrian is a person who travels away from home. "Pedestrians" does not mean "tourists", not people who have a spring outing. "Soul" is not the soul of "three souls and seven spirits". In poetry, "soul" mainly refers to spiritual and emotional things.
