Freely flying flowers are as light as a dream, and the boundless rain is as fine as sorrow. The general idea is that outside the window, the flowers are flying freely and lightly, just like a dream. The rain is pattering, floating endlessly, like melancholy. Flying. It comes from "Huanxisha·Momo Qinghan Going Up to the Small Building" by Qin Guan, a poet of the Song Dynasty.
Original text:
Huanxisha·Momo Qinghan went up to the small building
Song Dynasty: Qin Guan
Momo Qinghan went up to the small building at dawn Yin rogue is like poor autumn. Light smoke and flowing water paint a quiet screen.
The flying flowers are as light as dreams, and the boundless rain is as thin as sorrow. Small silver hooks hang on the treasure curtain.
Translation: With a hint of chill, I climbed up to the small building alone. The coolness of the morning was annoying, as if it was already late autumn. Looking back at the painting screen, there is light smoke, gurgling water, and a quiet artistic conception.
Outside the window, flowers are flying lightly and freely, just like in a dream, and the rain is pouring down, floating endlessly, like melancholy flying. Look at the curtain decorated with jewels hanging casually on small silver hooks.

Creative background
Although Qin Guan was full of heroic spirit and made grand remarks in his early years, in the struggle between the old and new parties, he suffered successive blows. He was trapped in Jingluo many times, and was later exiled to the southern wilderness, which inevitably brought him endless pain. It is difficult to determine the year when this poem was written, but considering his rough life experience, it may be that this poem also expresses his sadness and sadness.
The author uses "understatement" to blend the emotions into the scenery. The artistic conception is quiet and leisurely, and the color tone is light, subtle and subtle.
