This little poem "Drizzle" uses a concise and suggestive technique and extremely frugal ink to outline a picture of the spring breeze turning into rain and full of vitality, rendering a fresh and light artistic conception. It truly expresses the poet's joy for the coming of spring.

It not only embodies the "stars", but also illuminates the meaning of "the east wind". "This specific environment further strengthens the image of Spring Rain.
