The poem "Qingming" is written by Du Mu, a Tang Dynasty writer, who wrote about what he saw during the rainy spring of Qingming. The first line explains the scene, environment and atmosphere; the second line writes about the character and shows the character's miserable and confused state of mind; the third line suggests how to get rid of this state of mind; the fourth line writes about the answer with action, which is the highlight of the whole piece.

The whole poem is light in color and bleak in mood, using the technique of rising gradually from low to high, with the climax placed at the end, which makes the aftertaste far away and intriguing, and has been widely recited.

Overall Appreciation:

This day is the Qingming Festival. The poet Du Mu, in the middle of traveling, can coincidentally meet the rain. Qingming, although it is the willow green flowers, spring bright season, but also the climate is prone to change during the period, often catching up with the "weather". As far back as the Liang Dynasty, it has been recorded: in the Qingming two days before the Cold Food Festival, there are often "fast winds and even rain". If it rains on the day of Qingming, there is a special name for it, "fire rain". The poet Du Mu encountered just such a day.

The poet used the words "one after another" to describe the day's "fire rain", which is really good. "If you are describing snow, it should be a heavy snow, so to speak, "flurry, down a good big snow. But when it comes to the rain, the situation is just the opposite, the kind of call people feel "one after another", is not a heavy rain, but a fine rain.

This fine rain, is also the characteristics of spring rain. Fine rain, is the kind of "rain on the streets of the sky moist as crisp" kind of rain, it is different from the summer such as pouring like pouring rain, and the kind of pattering autumn rain is never a flavor. This "rain", is to capture the spirit of the Qingming "splash fire rain", conveying the kind of "to do cold flowers, will be trapped in the smoke willow" of the dismal and beautiful realm.
