"Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night" Don Du Fu
Good rain knows the season, when spring comes.
Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently.
The wild path is dark, and the river is bright.
Look at the red and wet place, the flowers in Jinguancheng are heavy.
Translation?
Good rain seems to pick the right time, arrival in the spring of everything.
With the breeze, quietly into the night. Fine and dense, nourishing everything on the earth.
Thick dark clouds covered the fields and paths, and only a little fishing fire from a fishing boat by the river emitted a ray of light, which was particularly bright.
When the morning comes, the wet soil must be covered with red petals, and the streets and alleys of Jinguancheng must be a colorful scene.
Extended data:
Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night was written in the spring of the second year of Shang Yuan (76 1). After a period of exile, Du Fu finally settled in Chengdu, Sichuan due to the drought in Shaanxi, and began a relatively stable life in Shu.
When writing this poem, he had lived in Chengdu Caotang for two years. He cultivates self-cultivation, grows vegetables and flowers, and interacts with farmers. He has deep feelings for the spring rain, so he wrote this beautiful poem, describing the rain on a spring night and nourishing everything.
Pu Qilong said: "It is easy to write about rain and cut the night, but difficult to cut the spring." This poem "Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night" not only cuts the night and the spring, but also writes the noble character of a typical spring rain, that is, "good rain", which shows the noble personality of all the "good people" of the poet.
The poet looks forward to such "good rain" and loves our "good rain". Therefore, although the word "Xi" in the title does not appear in the poem, the meaning of "Xi" breaks through the cocoon "(Pu Qilong's Reading).
The poet looked forward to the spring rain "moistening things silently", and it began to rain. As soon as he came up, he called "good" with joy. The second couplet was written by the poet. The poet listened attentively and heard the rain pouring down underground on a spring night, just to "moisten things quietly". Dont Ask For Help knew he was naturally "happy" and couldn't sleep.
Because the rain is "moist and silent", I can't hear clearly. I am afraid that the rain will stop, so I will go out and watch it. The third section is about what the poet saw. Seeing the strong rain, I can't help but imagine the beautiful scenery of the city in spring after dawn.
Its infinite joy is very vivid. Li Yue, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Watching the Rain": "Mulberry leaves come from the soil without leaves, and the flute pipe welcomes the Longshui Temple. Watching songs and dances in Zhumen is afraid that the sound of spring will swallow the strings. " .
Compared with those who watch songs and dances in Zhumen, Du Fu's joy of "moistening things silently" in the spring rain is naturally a noble feeling.
