It means: light rain, accompanied by spring breeze, rises quietly at night, fine and dense, and moistens things silently.
The original intention is to praise Chun Yu's lofty quality of obscurity and selfless dedication. Nowadays, it is often used to praise teachers, describing teachers as persuasive, teaching by example, silently contributing like a quiet spring rain, and subtly educating students. Express respect and love for teachers.
For example, an excellent educator should use silent true love to "sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently" and influence the hearts of generations of children.
The full text of Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night:
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 spring 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 on a fishing boat by the river gave off a ray of light, which was particularly bright. At dawn, the wet soil must be covered with red petals, and the streets and alleys of Jinguancheng must be a colorful scene.
