Tomb-Sweeping Day's poems

Tang Dynasty: Du Mu

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.

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.

Ask the local people where to buy wine to relieve the hangover. The shepherd boy just smiled and pointed to the village deep in the apricot blossom.

2. Broken Spring Scenes

Song Dynasty: Yan Shu

Swallow came to the news agency, after the Qingming Festival in pear flower falls. At three or four o'clock on the pond, there are one or two orioles at the bottom of the leaves. The days are long and the ice floes are light.

Smile at the female companions in the East and please them in Sandao. The suspect had a good dream last night, but Yuan won today. Laughter comes from two faces.

Translation:

Swallows flew in just in time for the social sacrifice, and after pear flower falls went, Tomb-Sweeping Day was ushered in. A few pieces of moss dotted the clarity of the pool water, and orioles occasionally sang under the branches. The days are getting longer and longer and catkins can be seen everywhere.

On the way to Caisang, I met my smiling east neighbor. I wonder if she dreamed of the Spring Festival Evening last night. It turns out that the grass fight won today! A smile appeared on both cheeks.

3. Spring Rain in Lin 'an

Song dynasty: Lu you

In recent years, officials are interested in a thin layer of gauze. Who will let me take a bus to Kyoto to visit this bustling city?

Living in a small building and listening to the falling spring rain, you will hear the sound of selling apricots in the depths of the alley early in the morning.

Slowly spread out small pieces of paper sideways, every word is organized, carefully boil water and tea under the sun window, skim it and try to taste famous tea.

Oh, don't sigh that the dust in Kyoto will stain the white clothes, and there is still time to return to the mirror house in Lake Ubak.

Translation:

Nowadays, this situation is as vague as a veil. Who let me ride a horse to Kyoto to pollute the bustling?

Living in a small building and listening to the spring rain all night, tomorrow morning, someone will sell apricot flowers in a deep alley.

Spread out a small piece of paper, leisurely scribble cursive script, and carefully boil water to make tea and skim the foam in front of the window at the beginning of light rain, and taste famous tea.

Don't sigh that the dust in Kyoto will stain the white clothes, and there is still time to return to my hometown by Yinshanjing Lake during the Qingming Festival.

4. Tomb-Sweeping Day

Song Dynasty: Wang Yucheng

I have lived in Tomb-Sweeping Day without flowers and wine. Like a monk in a temple, everything is depressing and lonely for me.

Yesterday, I discussed new kindling from my neighbor's house, and early in Tomb-Sweeping Day, I lit in front of the window and sat down to study.

Translation:

Tomb-Sweeping Day has no flowers and wine, just like a monk in a temple in Shan Ye.

Yesterday, I asked my neighbor for a new stove. At dawn, I lit a lamp at the window and sat down to study.

5. Qingming Night

Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi

At night in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the breeze is blowing gently and the moonlight is hazy. The railing made of jasper and the wall made of red bricks are the residence of the governor.

Walking alone in a roundabout song, I can't hear the sound of flowers.

Translation:

Clear night, breezy, hazy moonlight, bluestone steps, red railings here.

A person stops in the circuitous corridor, listening to the distant orchestral music and silently enjoying the blooming flowers in the courtyard.
