Happy rain on a spring night
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
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. ?
Translation
Good rain seems to choose the right time to fall in the spring when all things emerge.
Accompanied by the gentle breeze, quietly enter the night. Finely and densely, it nourishes all things on the earth.
Thick dark clouds cover the fields and paths, and little lights flicker on the fishing boats on the river.
Look at the flowers with dew tomorrow morning. Chengdu will be full of flowers.

This is a masterpiece that depicts the rain scene on a spring night and expresses the joyful mood. At the beginning, the word "good" is used to praise "rain". In life, "good" is often used to praise those who do good things. Nowadays, praising rain with "good" has evoked associations with people who do good things. Next, the rain is personified, saying that it "knows the season" and knows how to meet objective needs. Among them, the word "knowledge" is used vividly, which makes the rain come alive. Spring is the season when all things sprout and grow. When it needs rain, it starts to rain. It is indeed "good".
