The poem is: Dive into the night with the wind, and moisten things silently. The meaning of this poem is that the good rain is accompanied by the breeze and quietly enters the night. Fine and dense, nourishing everything on the earth. Praise the teacher's considerate education for students, but it is subtle and benefits you silently.
This poem is from Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night written by Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty. The original text of the poem is as follows:
It is good to know the season when it rains, and it happens when it is spring. 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.
Interpretation in vernacular Chinese: Timely rain seems to know the season. When spring comes, it comes quietly at night with the spring breeze, silently nourishing everything. The sky of the field path is dark, and only a little fishing fire on the fishing boat by the river emits a ray of light, which is 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.
Extended information
Creation background: This poem was written in the spring of 761 (the second year of Shangyuan). After a period of exile, Du Fu finally settled in Chengdu, Sichuan due to the drought in Shaanxi. When he wrote this poem, he had lived in Chengdu Caotang for two years. He cultivated himself, planted vegetables and flowers, and interacted with farmers. He had a deep affection for the spring rain, so he wrote this beautiful poem describing the rain on a spring night and moistening everything.
This poem depicts the characteristics of spring rain and the scene of rainy night in Chengdu with great joy, and enthusiastically eulogizes the timely and nourishing spring rain. The poet uses anthropomorphic techniques to describe the spring rain, which is subtle, delicate and vivid, and draws sound and shape. The whole poem is elegant in artistic conception, quiet in meaning, and integrated with the painting. It is a poem about rain with vivid and unique charm.
at the beginning of the poem, a word "good" is used to praise "rain". In life, "good" is often used to praise those who do good things. Nowadays, praising rain with "good" will arouse the association of people who do good deeds. Next, personify the rain and say that it "knows the season". The words "know" and "nai" in the poem are all vivid, and the poet's mood of loving rain is vividly on the paper.
the third and fourth sentences not only describe the dynamics of the spring rain, but also convey its spirit of moistening things. Because it rains well at night, the poet focuses on describing the rain scene from the perspective of "hearing". The rain is fine but not sudden, and gradually disappears with the night. It comes quietly, silently and unnoticed by people, so it is called "sneaking into the night".
The fifth and sixth sentences further describe the rainy night scenery from the perspective of "vision". "Wild trail" refers to the path between fields, which refers to the ground; "Cloud" refers to the sky. Because it's raining at night, the clouds are dense, the stars are hidden, the moonlight is dull, and the sky and the ground are dark, which shows that the rain is strong.
the last two sentences are about the scenery after the rain. It was the next day. It rains at dawn, and the whole city of Chengdu is full of dazzling flowers, and the flowers are too heavy to lift their heads. It is dizzying and refreshing. At this point, the poet's love for the rain reached a climax, so the poem "Flowers are heavy on the city of Jin Guan" rushed out.
