A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day; The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.

Ask local people where to buy wine? The shepherd boy just laughed and didn't answer Xingshan Village.

Vernacular translation

During the Qingming Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, the drizzle drifted one after another, and all the passengers on the road were down and out.

Where can local people buy wine to drown their sorrows? The shepherd boy just smiled and pointed to Xinghuashan Village.

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".
