The cowboy's back refers to: Excuse me, where is the restaurant? Cowboy refers to Xinghua Village. The simple understanding is that the cowherd boy riding on the back of the cow leads the way. Refers to, homophonic for the child, that is, the mouse. It's the number 1.

The shepherd boy returns to the riddle story of riding an ox backwards. This riddle was written in the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty. After Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing, the Qing court sent Li Hongzhang to make peace, which resulted in humiliating the country. At that time, a group of so-called incorruptible officials impeached Li Hongzhang to flatter foreign countries and betray the country, and Li Hongzhang's fate was uncertain. Several writers in Beijing discussed this matter in Ji Ya, and one of them came up with this riddle, saying that the answer was Li Hongzhang's future. All the people couldn't guess what they were typing, so the riddler had to reveal that the answer was "up". They guessed again and again, but they still didn't understand. The mystery man then wrote a letter on a piece of paper, saying that the shepherd boy had come back, so the shepherd left. Turn the paper sideways again, and then let the guests look from the back. Isn't this a cow's back? It was so complicated and reasonable that all the guests applauded. I also sigh for the best side of the mystery I know. Curiously, Li Hongzhang was quickly promoted to the position of Minister of Government Supervision, and he was fascinated.
