The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village. Where is Xinghua Village? Which city?

Many scholars currently agree that the Xinghua Village referred to in Du Mu's poem "Qingming" is located in the west of Guichi County, Anhui.

In September of the fourth year of Huichang (844), Du Mu was moved from Huangzhou to Chizhou (Qiupu County, the seat of Chizhou in the Tang Dynasty, now Guichi, Anhui), and in September of the sixth year of Huichang he was moved to Muzhou. , stayed in Chizhou for two full years; and there is Xinghua Village in the west of Guichi County, which produces famous wine. Therefore, Lang of the Qing Dynasty wrote "Xinghua Village Chronicles of Guichi County" and included Du's poem "Xinghua Village"; later "Jiangnan Tongzhi" also included the poem and said that the Xinghua Village in Du Mu's poem was in Guichi.

Guichi is close to the south bank of the Yangtze River. The climate is warm, humid and rainy. Before and after the Qingming Festival, drizzles fall one after another, which is exactly the scene described in the first line of the poem "Qingming". On the Qingming Festival, the spring rain continued, and the shepherd boy pointed out an apricot blossom forest in the distance.
