1,A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day; The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.
2,The rain falls thick and fast on ALL Souls' Day,The men and women sadly move along the way.
3,It drizzles endless during the rainy season in spring,Travelers along the road look gloomy and miserable.
《清明》是唐代文學家杜牧的詩作。此詩寫清明春雨中所見,色彩清淡,心境淒冷,歷來廣為傳誦。
第壹句交代情景、環境、氣氛;第二句寫出了人物,顯示了人物的淒迷紛亂的心境;第三句提出了如何擺脫這種心境的辦法;第四句寫答話帶行動,是整篇的精彩所在。全詩運用由低而高、逐步上升、高潮頂點放在最後的手法,余韻邈然,耐人尋味。
此詩首見於南宋初年《錦繡萬花谷》註明出唐詩,後依次見於《分門纂類唐宋時賢千家詩選》、明托名謝枋得《千家詩》、清康熙《禦選唐詩》。《江南通誌》載:杜牧任池州刺史時,曾經過金陵杏花村飲酒,詩中杏花村指此。
