"Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen" comes from Du Fu's "Spring Night Happy Rain":
Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen.
Sneak into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.
The wild paths are all dark with clouds, but the river boats are only bright with fire.
Looking at the red and wet place at dawn, the flowers are heavy on the official city.
This is a five-character rhyme poem in the "Ba Geng" part of Pingshui rhyme. Smooth and rigorous, contrasting with fine craftsmanship, it is a rare metrical masterpiece by Du Fu with a relatively relaxed mood.
"Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen."
Good rain knows the season of rain, which is when plants sprout and grow in spring.
“Sneak into the night with the wind, moistening everything silently.”
As the spring breeze falls quietly at night, it silently moisturizes all things in spring.
"The wild paths are all dark with clouds, but the lights on the river boats are only bright."
In the rainy night, the field roads are completely dark, and only the lights on the river boats flicker alone.
“Look at the red and wet places at dawn, and the flowers in Jinguan City are heavy.”
At dawn, I looked at the rain-moistened flowers, beautiful and red, and the entire Jinguan City It has become a world of blooming flowers.
One of Du Fu's less worrying works vividly expresses the joy that overflows from people's hearts when they look forward to, listen to, and watch the rain.
