Han Yu
The rain in Tianjie is as slippery as crisp,
The color of the grass is close in the distance, but not at all.
The biggest advantage is that one spring,
It's better than the smoke willow in the imperial city.
Translate poetry:
There is much silk rain over Jingcheng Avenue.
It's as delicate and moist as crispy cheese,
From a distance, the grass and grass are faintly connected.
Looking closely, it looks sparse and sporadic.
This is the most beautiful scenery in a year.
Far better than the late spring in Qingyang city.

This is a seven-character quatrain that describes and praises the beauty of early spring. The first sentence points out the light rain in early spring, and describes it as smooth and moist with "moist as crisp", which accurately captures its characteristics. The sentence is fresh and beautiful. There is also Du Fu's "Good rain knows the season, when spring comes." Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently "has the same effect."
The second sentence closely follows the first sentence, which describes the scenery after the rain. It's green from a distance, but it's not green from a close look. It depicts the hazy scene of grass soaking in rain in early spring. This can be compared with Wang Wei's "Fogs, when I enter them, they disappear" and "The color of the mountain exists and does not exist".
Three or four sentences praise the scenery in early spring: "The most important thing is the benefits of spring, which is definitely better than tobacco willow." The light rain and grass color in early spring are the most beautiful things in the spring of a year, far exceeding the late spring scenery of the city of smoke and willow. Poetry about spring scenery, in Tang poetry, mostly takes beautiful late spring, but this poem takes early spring to chant it, thinking that early spring is better than late spring, which is innovative.
In this poem, the poet only uses simple words to describe the unique scenery of early spring with common "light rain" and "grass color". Delicate descriptions, beautiful sentences and novel ideas give people a moist, comfortable and fresh aesthetic feeling in early spring.
