In this poem，Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern.He doesn't describe its feature on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers' imagination.

①In Chinese celebrations，whether it is an important birthday or a traditional festival，one of the most typical elements（元素） is the lucky and auspicious（吉祥的） symbols.
②To most Chinese，when it comes to lucky symbols，the top three are surely fu，lu and shou. ③During Chinese New Year，we would put up red squares with the character fu on them.Some people would put their fu character upside down.
④Lu often has to do with one's job and richness.Lu refers to good pay and ranks（等级） in ancient China.Hulu，gourds（葫芦），sounds like hulu（护禄）.So，people use gourds to scare away bad spirits and illnesses and keep rich and successful.
⑤Shou means long﹣lived life.When someone is having his birthday celebration，we would call this person shouxing.At birthday parties for elder people，we often see peaches.According to the legend，the Queen Mother of the West grows peaches in her own garden，and whoever eats these peaches will live forever.
⑥Besides the three，lucky and auspicious symbols can be easily found in food.For the Chinese New Year dinner，most families would have fish because it sounds like"surplus（有余）".In southern China，niangao，a kind of rice cake is a lucky food because niangao sounds like getting higher every year.

In China，around the time of Tomb﹣sweeping Day，there is more rain.The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days.The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation （分离） of the soul （灵魂）and body，which adds a sad feeling to this poem.The writer，Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines.Then in the last two lines，the poet wants to find a place to take a rest，drink some wine and get away from the sad feeling.Where can I find a good restaurant？In the last line，a cowherd （牧童） points to a direction，which describes two people looking far ahead on the rainy day.
In this poem，Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern.He doesn't describe its feature on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers' imagination.
This festival is not only a sad one，but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing.Trees are green and flowers are blooming，so it's a good time to be outside.
