1, good rain knows the season, and it happens in spring.
Poetry translation:
Good rain seems to pick the right time, arrival in the spring when everything is born.
Poetry appreciation:
This is a masterpiece depicting the rainy scene on a spring night and showing a happy mood. Praise "rain" with a "good" word from the beginning. In life, "good" is often used to praise people who do good things. Praising rain with "good" now will arouse the association of people who do good things. Next, personify the rain, saying that it "knows the season" and knows how to meet the objective needs. Among them, the word "knowledge" is used incisively and vividly, which simply brings the rain to life. Spring is the season when everything germinates and grows. As long as it rains, it begins to rain.
2, the drizzle in the sky is crisp, and the grass color is close but not close.
Poetry translation:
There is a continuous rain over the Capital Avenue. It is as delicate and moist as ghee. From a distance, the grass is faintly connected, but when you look closely, it looks sparse and sporadic. This is the most beautiful season of the year, far better than the late spring in the city of green willows.
Creative background:
This poem was written in the early spring of the third year of Tang Muzong Changqing (823). At that time, Han Yu was 56 years old and served as assistant minister of the official department. Although the time is not long, I am in a good mood at this time. Not long ago, there was a rebellion in Zhou Zhen (now Zhengding, Hebei Province), and Han Yu was ordered to go to Fu Xuan to surrender the rebellion. Mu Zong was so happy that he was promoted from assistant minister of Ministry of War to assistant minister of official department. In literature, he has long been famous. Therefore, although the year is approaching, we are not sad because of the years, but welcome spring with great interest.
3, the small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot flowers.
Poetry translation:
Living in a small building and listening to the spring rain all night, tomorrow morning, someone will sell apricot flowers in a deep alley.
Poetry appreciation:
If the author's name is hidden, when we read this song "The Beginning of Spring Rain in Lin 'an", we may think that it was not written by Lu Fangweng who was "an iron horse" and "swallowed the remnants". Although there is apricot blossom-like spring scenery in the poem, it also implies the sentimental feeling of "the taste of the world is as thin as yarn" and the boring mood of "doing nothing to do grass" and "playing with tea", which is very inconsistent with Lu You's majestic and tragic style of singing "defending the country and serving the country".
