The meaning of the ancient poem "Qingming" is explained as the drizzle falls one after another during the Qingming Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, and all the travelers on the road are in despair. May I ask the local people where to buy wine to drown their sorrows? The shepherd boy smiled and pointed to Xinghua Mountain Village in the distance.
Original text: It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to die. When I asked where the restaurant was, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.

Appreciation of "Qingming"
This little poem contains not a single difficult word, nor a single allusion. The whole poem is written in very popular language, and is written with great ease, without any fuss. Traces of business artifacts. The syllables are very harmonious and perfect, the scene is very fresh and vivid, and the realm is beautiful and interesting. It is also natural for poems to be told in chapters, written sequentially. The first sentence describes the situation, environment, and atmosphere, which is the beginning, and the second sentence is the inheritance, describing the characters and showing the characters' confused and confused state of mind.
The third sentence is a twist, but it also proposes a way to get rid of this state of mind. And this directly leads to the fourth sentence, which becomes the highlight of the whole article. In art, this is a technique of starting from low to high, gradually rising, and putting the climax at the end. The so-called climax is not a sweeping view and a dull feeling, but a vague and thought-provoking aftertaste. These are the poet's brilliance, which are worthy of learning and inheritance by future generations.
