First, poetry
Good rain seems to pick the right time and come in the spring when everything is born. With the breeze, quietly into the night. Fine and dense, nourishing everything on the earth.
thick dark clouds cover the fields and paths; Little lights, flashing fishing boats on the river Look at the flowers with dew tomorrow morning, and Chengdu will be full of flowers.
Second, the original text
Good rain knows the season, and spring happens. Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently.
the wild trails are all dark, and the river boats are all bright. Look at the red and wet place, and the flowers are heavy in Jinguan City. Extended information

Third, the author's brief introduction
Du Fu (712-77), with beautiful words, tried to call himself Shaoling Yelao. Take Jinshi as an example. He used to be Yuan Wailang of the Ministry of Calibration, so he is known as Du Gongbu in the world. He was the greatest realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was honored as a "poet saint" after the Song Dynasty, and was also called "Li Du" with Li Bai.
His poems boldly exposed the social contradictions at that time, and expressed deep sympathy for the poor people, with profound contents. Many excellent works show the historical process of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, which is called "the history of poetry".
In the summer of the second year of Ganyuan (759), there was a severe drought in Huazhou and Guanzhong. Du Fu wrote "Summer Sigh" and "Summer Night Sigh", lamenting the sufferings of refugees in China. After beginning of autumn in this year, Du Fu was saddened by the dirty current politics, and gave up his position as a secretary in Huazhou to join the army and went to Qin Zhou (now Tianshui, Gansu Province) in the west. Du Fu wrote more than 3 poems during his tenure in Huazhou.
Du Fu went through many twists and turns, and finally arrived in Chengdu. With the help of Yanwu and others, he built a thatched cottage on the bank of Huanhua River in the west of the city, which is called Du Fu's thatched cottage in the world, also known as Huanhuacao Hall. Later, it was recommended by Yanwu as the festival capital, and the whole family lived in fengjie county, Sichuan.
In the spring of the second year of Guangde (764), Yanwu came to Shu again, and Du Fu returned to the thatched cottage, where he had been wandering for nearly two years. Yanwu recommended Du Fu as Yuan Wailang, the Ministry of Industry of Calibration, and served as Yanwu's staff officer. Later generations also called Du Fu Du Gongbu. Soon Du Fu resigned again.
He used some details of his life to show the hardships of his life. He said that his children, who are not sensible yet, don't know how to respect their fathers, and don't know the master's ceremony. When they are hungry, whether they are fathers or not, they should follow the father-son ceremony or not, and when they are hungry, they clamor for food.
Crying at the East Gate, Du Fu's hut fell into disrepair in the autumn storm, starving his wife and staying up all night. He wrote "The Hut was Broken by the Autumn Wind".
in April of the third year of Guangde (765), Yanwu died and Du Fu left Chengdu. After passing through Jiazhou (Leshan), Rongzhou (Yibin), Yuzhou (Chongqing), Zhongzhou (Zhongxian) and Yunan (Yunyang), it arrived in Kuizhou (Fengjie) in the first year of Tang Daizong Dali (766).
thanks to the care of Bai Maolin, the governor of Kuizhou, Du Fu was able to stay here temporarily, taking care of 1 hectares of public land in Dongtun for the public, renting some public land himself, buying 4 acres of orchards, hiring a few employees, and taking part in some work with his family. During this period, the poet's creation reached a climax. In less than two years, he wrote more than 43 poems, accounting for 3% of the existing works.
During this period, his works include Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night, A Cottage Broken by Autumn Wind, Shu Xiang, both sides of the yellow river recaptured by the imperial army, Ascending the Mountain and many other famous works. Among them, the most famous poem is: "There are thousands of buildings in Ande, and all the poor people in the world are happy." And "leaves are dropping down like the spray of a waterfall, while I watch the long river always rolling on" in "Climbing to the Top" is the eternal swan song.
