Original poem:
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 season and come in the spring of everything. With the breeze, quietly into the night. Fine and dense, moistening things silently moistens all things on the earth. Thick dark clouds covered the fields and paths, and only a little fishing fire from a fishing boat by the river emitted a ray of light, which was particularly bright. When the morning comes, the wet soil must be covered with red petals, and the streets and alleys of Jinguancheng must be a colorful scene.

Poetry appreciation
Judging from the title of the poem, this poem is not only about the good rain in spring, but also about love and people who like rain. The first couplet praises rain, and the so-called rain knows people's wishes. When the earth is in urgent need of rain and spring rain is as expensive as oil, rain comes, so it is called "good rain" and timely rain. "Occurrence", often referred to as "occurrence" in the Tang Dynasty, means germination and growth.
The second part is listening to the rain. Listen carefully to the rain outside the house through the window. It keeps falling on the ground and dripping into the soil. The word "dive" personifies the rain, which is like a person who doesn't want to disturb people but shows his ability, quietly showering the world with the wind.
Third, write clouds. It's still raining at night, but can this silent drizzle last long? It will soon be insufficient, which is a pity. I was not at ease, so I went out to see the clouds. When I saw it, it was dark outside, and the familiar wild road was shrouded in black clouds, and I couldn't see anything. If the clouds are thick, it will rain, so you don't have to worry.
"The fire in the river is unique", which is one of the outstanding achievements of the poet in taking images and creating the environment. This sudden fire not only opened the realm, but also made the mood exceptionally bright. The next day, Chengdu will become an ocean of flowers. "Flowers are more important to Jinguan City" is not that poets only care about flowers, but that the flowers they see at first sight tomorrow morning are the most conspicuous, so they put pen to paper and took pictures.
