What season is the Qingming poem about?

The original text is as follows:

Qingming? Du Mu in Tang Dynasty

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.

The translation is as follows:

On this day, it was raining in Mao Mao, Tomb-Sweeping Day, and people traveling on the road were as confused and desolate as those who lost their souls.

Asked the shepherd boy where there was a restaurant, he pointed to Xinghua Village in the distance.

Appreciation of poetry and prose:

This poem is about the real situation of the author's early reading life, poverty, loneliness and maybe loneliness. For the future, perhaps because of interest or habit, I study hard at the window and live a poor life like a monk in Shan Ye. Even in Tomb-Sweeping Day, I didn't go out for an outing to enjoy the beautiful spring scenery like ordinary people, and I didn't invite my relatives and friends to drink and have fun. A gentleman is cautious and independent. As a scholar, he hasn't forgotten the folk tradition that fireworks are forbidden at the Cold Food Festival. As soon as the time limit for banning fireworks has passed, I will go to my neighbor's house to get the lights, seize the time and continue to study hard in the quiet night.
