The whole poem adopts the technique of rising from low to high, with the climax at the end, which is memorable and intriguing.

This poem was first recorded in the Splendid Flower Valley in the early years of Southern Song Dynasty, and later appeared in Selected Poems of Thousand Scholars in Tang and Song Dynasties, Poems of Thousand Scholars by Xie Fangde in Ming Dynasty and Poems of Imperial Selection in Tang Dynasty by Kangxi in Qing Dynasty.

This day is Tomb-Sweeping Day. The poet Du Mu happened to get caught in the rain during his trip. Qingming Festival, although it is a season with colorful flowers and bright spring, is also a period when the climate is prone to change, and it often catches up with "noisy weather". As early as the Liang Dynasty, it was recorded that during the Cold Food Festival in Tomb-Sweeping Day two days ago, "strong winds and continuous rain" often occurred. 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.
