What is the poetic quality of the poem Qingming written by Du Mu in Tang Dynasty?

This day is Tomb-Sweeping Day. The poet Xiao Du happened to get caught in the rain during his trip. Qingming, although it is a season of blooming green flowers and bright spring, is also a period when the climate is easy to change, and it often catches up with "noisy weather"

As early as the Liang Dynasty, it was recorded that there were often "strong winds and even rain" during the Cold Food Festival in Tomb-Sweeping Day two days ago. If it rains on Qingming Day, there is also a special name called "pouring rain on fire". The poet Du Mu met such a day.

The poet used the word "one after another" to describe the "pouring rain" that day, which was really great. How can I see it? "One after another", if described by snow, should be heavy snow. The so-called "one after another, heavy snow falls in succession". But when it rains, the situation is just the opposite. It is not the heavy rain that makes people feel "one after another", but the rain in Mao Mao. This rain in Mao Mao is the characteristic of spring rain.

There is a lot of rain in Mao Mao, which is the kind of rain that is "like crisp rain in the sky". It is different from the torrential rain in summer, and it is by no means the same as the intermittent autumn rain. This song "After the Rain" just captures the spirit of Tomb-Sweeping Day's "pouring fire on the rain" and conveys the beautiful realm of "being a cold bully, having a bright future and another village".

This "one after another" is naturally a description of the artistic conception of spring rain; But it's more than that. It also has a special function, that is, it actually describes the mood of travelers in the rain.

Look at the following sentence: "pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." A pedestrian is a person who travels away from home. "Pedestrians" does not mean "tourists", not people who have a spring outing. So what is "broken soul"? Is "soul" the soul of "three souls and seven spirits"? That's not true. In poetry, "soul" mainly refers to spiritual and emotional things.

"Soul-breaking" refers to trying to describe the feelings hidden in the heart, which are very strong, but not clearly expressed outside, such as love, disappointment, dark sorrow and deep hatred for acacia. When poets have such emotions, they often like to use the word "broken soul" to express their feelings.

A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day; The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.

Ask local people where to buy wine? The shepherd boy just laughed and didn't answer Xingshan Village.

During the Qingming Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, the drizzle drifted one after another, and all the passengers on the road were down and out.
