Rain in the Mountain Village is a seven-character quatrain written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Jian.
The first two sentences express the tranquility of the mountain village by describing the scenery. The third sentence says that women wash silkworms in the rain, which shows the busyness of farmers. The fourth sentence reflects the busyness of the local people through the leisure of flowers. The whole poem depicts a fresh and beautiful picture of busy farming in a mountain village.

This is a vivid description of the genre painting in the mountain village. The poet's description of what he saw and heard crossing the mountain village in the rain showed his praise for the quiet and peaceful pastoral life.
"One or two chickens crow in the rain", which I heard before I entered the mountain village. Because of the rain, the outline of the distant mountain village may not be clear, but the crow's cry can be heard clearly. There is a poem in The Book of Songs that "the wind and rain are coming, and the chickens crow endlessly". On rainy days, the weather is gloomy and unpredictable, which will induce chickens to crow, so the phrase "chickens crow in the rain" is a true portrayal of life.
But the crows heard by the poet are not endless, but scattered "one or two", which makes readers guess that this mountain village will not be the big market described in the Peach Blossom Garden, but a small mountain village with few residents and scattered terrain.
