Appreciation of Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night;
Praise "rain" with a "good" word from the beginning. In life, "good" is often used to praise people who do good things. Praising rain with "good" now will arouse the association of people who do good things.
Next, personify the rain, saying that it "knows the season" and knows how to meet the objective needs. Among them, the word "knowledge" is used incisively and vividly, which simply brings the rain to life. Spring is the season when everything germinates and grows. As long as it rains, it begins to rain. It's really good.
Zhuan Xu described the occurrence of rain, further showing the beauty of rain, in which the words "latent", "moist" and "fine" vividly described the characteristics of rain. Rain is "good" because it is good at timing and "moistening things quietly". Spring rain usually moistens everything with breeze and drizzle. However, there are exceptions.
Now, looking around, "the wild trails are all black, and the rivers and boats are bright." Only the lights on the boat are on. Besides, you can't even see the river, and you can't tell the path clearly. The sky is covered with dark clouds and the ground is as black as clouds. It looks as if it will rain until dawn. These two sentences describe the beautiful scene on a rainy night. "Black" and "bright" set each other off into interest, which not only points out the thick clouds and rain, but also gives people a strong sense of beauty.
The ending is a virtual scene, closely following the word "hi" in the title, and writing the beautiful scenery of Jinguan City in the early morning after the rain. After a night of such "good rain", everything will be nourished and prosperous. One of the flowers of all things, the flower that best represents spring scenery, is about to drop with the rain.
The poet said: wait until tomorrow morning to have a look. The whole Jinguan City (Chengdu) is full of peanut trees, which are "red and wet", red and heavy, and merge into a sea of flowers. The use of words such as "red wet" and "heavy flower" fully shows the delicacy of poetry.
