Poetry explanation

the background and ideological content of Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night: this poem was written in the spring of 761, the second year of last year. At this time, Du Fu came to Sichuan and settled in Chengdu for two years because of the drought in Shaanxi. He cultivated himself, planted vegetables and flowers, and interacted with farmers, so he had a deep affection for spring rain. He wrote this poem to describe the beauty of spring night rain and moisten everything, expressing the poet's joy. At the same time, it expresses the poet's love and praise for the selfless dedication of the drizzle on a spring night. The whole poem reads: "Good rain knows the season, and when spring happens. Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently. The wild path is dark, and the river boat is bright. Xiao sees the wet place of the river, and the flowers are heavy in Jinguan City. " One or two words of "good" are affectionate and praise the spring rain. "Knowing the season" endows Spring Rain with human life and emotion. In the author's view, Spring Rain is considerate, knows the season, and floats when people are in urgent need, prompting the opportunity. What a good spring rain! The first couplet not only expresses the "occurrence" of the spring rain, but also implicitly conveys the author's anxious mood of eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the spring rain. The couplet is obviously the poet's auditory feeling. The spring rain has come, and it comes with the wind in the boundless night, quietly moistening everything, without any intention of seeking "goodness", but only seeking dedication. Look, how carefully the author observes the rain scene, even the spring rain and silence are heard by the poet. Visible, surprise Yu Chunyu imperceptibly, the poet sleepless all night. Neck-tied couplet, the poet only hoped that the spring rain would last all night, but he was afraid of a sudden stop. He was also happy and worried. He pushed out the door and stood overlooking, only to see that the normally distinct field path was also dissolved into the night, which was dark, showing how dark the night was and how dense the rain was. And the river boat fishing fire is dazzling, which reflects the vastness and darkness of the spring night, and also highlights the richness of the spring rain from the side. In the words of imagination, the poet witnessed the continuous spring rain, and was gratified to think that when the next day dawned, Jinguan City would be a colorful spring scenery. The profusion and vitality of flowers is the result of the silent drizzle, which moistens and baptizes. Therefore, writing flowers is really the selfless dedication of the spring rain. Through the above analysis of the poems, it is not difficult to see that Du Fu conceived the writing according to such an emotional train of thought, that is, looking forward to rain-listening to rain-watching rain-thinking about rain.

When the spring rain floated down, the poet was even more surprised, even lying in bed listening, completely sleepless at night, eager to have a good time, lest it suddenly stop, so he pushed the door and looked into the distance, watching the boundless spring rain, and seeing the dense spring rain, the author was pleasantly surprised to associate it with the spring scenery of Jinguan City the next day.

In addition, the capture and description of the details of the poem can also reflect the superiority of the poet's human body in observing the situation. "Sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently." The word "latent" is personified, and it is quite interesting to imitate the silent and invisible modality of spring rain, which induces people's love for spring rain. The word "run" conveys the spirit, accurately and vividly writes the characteristics of spring rain that moistens all things and is silent. It not only paints shapes, but also expresses feelings, and both shapes and feelings are prepared, profound and unique. "Flowers are more important than Jinguan City", with the word "heavy", accurately writes the mode that Jinguan City's flowers are red and full of vitality after being baptized and moistened by the spring rain overnight, and conveys the author's praise for the spring rain. "Wild trails and clouds are all black, and rivers and boats are only bright" captures typical details, meticulously depicts them, and subtly and vividly renders the misty and colorful atmosphere of spring rain. In a word, Du Fu's "Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night" embodies the superiority of observing other things' feelings and nuances in terms of hammering sentences, capturing images and describing details.
