2. Tomb-Sweeping Day
Author: Wang Yucheng in Song Dynasty.
Original: No flowers, no wine, too clear, and the taste is bleak like a wild monk. 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.
Commentary: Tomb-Sweeping Day does not spend money or drink, 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.
3, "Qingming is a thing"
Author: Meng Haoran in Tang Dynasty.
Original: Emperors emphasize Qingming, while people worry about themselves. The carriage creaked on the road, and the outskirts of Liucheng were lush. Flowers bloom, grass grows and birds fly in pairs. Sitting in the empty lobby, reminiscing about the past, drinking tea instead of drinking.
Commentary: The annual Tomb-Sweeping Day in Kyoto has arrived again. At this moment, the wandering wanderer is full of sorrow. The sound of carriages is noisy on the road, and the breeze on the outskirts of Dongcheng is lush.
Falling flowers fly, grass grows together, orioles fly around, and butterflies play in pairs. Sitting alone in the empty hall, recalling the past, taking tea instead of wine to console myself.
4. Qingming Night
Author: Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty.
Original text: On a romantic night, Hongxuan's blue bricks stab historians. Walking alone in a roundabout song, I can't hear the sound of flowers.

5, "Su Causeway Qingming is a thing"
Author: Wu Weixin in Song Dynasty.
Pear blossoms are in Qingming, and wanderers are out of the city looking for spring. At dusk, the songs are ready, and the willows belong to a warbler.
Explanation: It is Tomb-Sweeping Day who blows pear blossoms in the wind. Most tourists go out for an outing in search of spring. At dusk, the singing has stopped, the tourists have gone home, and the prostitutes who have been disturbed for a day have returned to enjoy this quiet moment under the willow tree.
