explain

It's a metaphor for getting to the bottom of things. "Break the casserole and ask to the end" is a common saying. Casserole is a pot made of mud. It is mostly used for boiling traditional Chinese medicine or making soup in winter. This kind of pot is easily broken if you are not careful, and once broken, it will crack to the end. "Break the casserole to the end" should actually be "break the casserole pattern to the end", that is, crack to the bottom, and later turned into "ask to the end". Its original meaning is "break the casserole to the end", which means w è n. Because it's homophonic with question, so we use question instead. The crack is the crack on the casserole. If the casserole is broken, there will be a crack extending to the bottom of the casserole. It's about metaphor.
