Qingming ancient poems

(Tang) 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.

Qingming Festival

Du Mu

Mourning day, drizzle like tears;

The mourners' hearts were broken on the way.

Where can I find a pub to drown his sorrow?

A cowherd pointed to Xinghua Village in the distance.

day of mourning

Yucheng Wang

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.

A sunny and bright day

Without flowers and wine, a sunny and bright day came.

As boring as a Buddhist monk, I let it go.

I got a new stove from my neighbor yesterday.

At dawn, I lit a lamp and took it to my study.

Huanxi Shadandan Spring Cold Food Festival

Li Qingzhao

The spring is chilly, the jade stove is full of hookah, and the dream comes back to the mountain pillow to hide flowers.

Swallows haven't come yet, so we are playing games on the grass. The willows are falling, and the plum blossoms are dying. In the evening drizzle, the swing in the garden will not swing.

Tune: silk washing steam

Spring radiates mild and wild light at the Cold Food Festival.

Jade furnace scatters dying fragrance like a splash,

When I woke up, I found my hairpin under the pillow.

Swallows haven't come yet, and we are playing games on the grass.

Willow falls, plum blossoms wither,

In the evening drizzle, the swing in the garden will not swing.

Various versions of Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Cai Tingkan's English Version of Tomb-Sweeping Day

It rained heavily and quickly on All Souls' Day.

Men and women walked sadly all the way.

They asked where to find a pub or where to rest-

The shepherd boy's finger suggests almond town.

English Translation of Wu Weixiong's Tomb-Sweeping Day

It was raining heavily in Mao Mao on the mourning day.

The mourners' hearts will be broken on the way.

When asked to go to a pub to drown my sorrows.

A cowboy pointed to a small village among apricot flowers.

day of mourning

It rained a lot during my stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

During the Qingming Festival, it rained a lot.

Pedestrians on the road want to break their souls,

I travel with a lost heart.

Ask local people where to buy wine?

Cowboy, is there a bar anywhere?

The shepherd boy just laughed and didn't answer Xingshan Village.

He pointed to the apricot village in the distance.

Xu Yuanchong's English Translation of Tomb-Sweeping Day

Mourning day, drizzle like tears;

Pedestrians on the road want to die.

Where can I find a pub to drown his sad time?

A cowherd pointed to apricot flowers in the middle of a small bed.
