1, Du Mu's Qingming

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.

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.

2. Yan Shu, the author of "Spring is bursting"? Song dynasty

Swallow came to the news agency, after the Qingming Festival in pear flower falls.

At three or four o'clock on the pond, there is an oriole at the bottom of the leaf.

The days are long and the ice floes are light. Laughing at the oriental female companion,

Picking mulberry trails pleases everyone. The suspect had a good dream last night,

Today, Yuan won by fighting grass, and there was laughter on both sides.

Translation:

Swallows fly just in time for the social sacrifice, and pears fly just in time for Tomb-Sweeping Day. Several pieces of moss adorn the clear water in the pool, and several pieces of moss adorn the clear water in the pool. The song of oriole lingers among the branches and leaves of the tree, just to see the catkins dancing. A smiling oriental neighbor. I met him on the way to Caisang. No wonder I had a dream on a spring night last night. This is a harbinger of my success in mowing grass today! I can't help smiling.
