An ancient poem describes light rain: Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen. Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently. The wild paths are all dark with clouds, but the river boats are only bright with fire. Look at the red and wet place at dawn, the flowers are heavy on the official city.
This poem is "Joyful Rain on a Spring Night" written by Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. It describes the characteristics of spring rain and the love for spring scenery in the rain. With great joy, the poet praised the spring rain that came in time and nourished all things.
The first line of the poem, "Good rain knows the season, when spring will happen" expresses the poet's praise for spring rain. Good rain seems to know how to come at the right time. When spring comes, it falls on the earth to provide the necessary moisture for the growth of all things. This poem reveals the preciousness and timeliness of spring rain, and also lays the foundation for the subsequent description.
The following "Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently" depicts the delicacy and gentleness of spring rain. Along with the wind, the rain quietly enters the night, nourishing all things without making any noise. This kind of delicate nourishment is a silent love and care for all things on earth.
The third and fourth lines of the poem, "The wild paths are all dark with clouds, and the river boats are only bright with fire" unfolds the scene of a spring rainy night. The paths in the fields were covered with clouds and became dark, but the boats on the river lit up their lights, illuminating the world alone. This contrasting depiction makes the spring rainy night seem more silent and mysterious.
The last two sentences, "Look at the red and wet places at dawn, and the flowers are heavy in Jinguancheng" predict the beautiful scene after the spring rain. After the spring rain, you will see wet places in the morning, and the flowers will become more beautiful because of the moisture of the rain, and the entire Jinguan City will become blooming. Here, the poet expresses his joy for the arrival of spring and his expectation for a better future by praising the spring rain.
"Jiangnan Spring·Thousands of miles of orioles are singing, green is reflecting red""Thousands of miles of orioles are singing, green is reflecting red, and the wine flag of Shuicunshanguo is winding. There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, and there are many towers in the mist. It is also a description of Xiao Yu.
The whole poem conveys the preciousness, tenderness and mystery of spring rain through the delicate description of spring rain, as well as the vitality and beauty that spring rain brings to the earth. At the same time, the poet also expressed his love for life and expectations for the future by praising the spring rain.
