One night, light thunder falls on thousands of silk threads, and the jade light is uneven.
The loving peony contains spring tears, the powerless rose lies on the dawn branch.

Look, it rains in the courtyard, the morning mist is thin, the green tiles are crystal clear, the spring scenery is bright; the peonies are dripping with rain, tender and affectionate, and the roses are lying on the branches and vines, delicate and charming. There are close-ups and distant views, movement and stillness, emotions and gestures, randomly colored and scattered. The whole poem is full of thoughts and vivid descriptions, and has a fresh and graceful charm, which is very endearing. The poet captured the characteristics of the "thousands of threads" of the spring rain, focused the lens on a corner of the courtyard, and took a picture after a thunderstorm. An exquisite picture of a clear spring and dawn. Through dual forms and anthropomorphic techniques, it sets off the magnificence of the courtyard and depicts the charming mood of peonies and roses. The peonies are tall and graceful, and the roses are spreading on their branches, so each has the state of "tears of spring" and the state of "lying powerless". Because of its meticulous details and subtle emotions, the whole article has a fresh and graceful charm, which demonstrates the poet's keen observation, perception, absorption and expression of natural scenery and phenomena. In terms of artistic conception, "spring sorrow" governs the whole article. Although there is no word "sorrow", it can be understood from the mood of peony and rose. It also reflects the poet's sentimental character due to the hardships and dangers of his official career.
"Good rain knows the season." Under the call of faint spring thunder overnight, it "sneaks into the night with the wind" and "moistens things silently." Thunder is "light" and rain is like "silk". The poet reveals the characteristics of Spring Rain in just two words.
The green glazed tiles have been washed clean by a night of spring rain, and are crystal clear, like emeralds. There are still water droplets on the tiles. Under the rays of the morning sun, they are sparkling, bright and eye-catching. People are relaxed and happy - this is the beauty written in the second sentence. The most wonderful thing is the last two sentences. The poet uses the method of using beautiful women to describe flowers, and adds antithesis. It is really beautiful in Li Bai's "A branch of red dew condenses with fragrance" in Bai Juyi's pen. The "waiter helped lift up the frail and frail Concubine Yang" who had just come out of the bath is strikingly similar to the third sentence. The peonies after the rain are like passionate girls, with sparkling tears and affection.
The last sentence is reminiscent of the description in "A Dream of Red Mansions·Shi Xiangyun Drunk and Sleeping with Peony Indium": Xiangyun "had a deep dream of incense, peony flowers were flying all around, and the red fragrance was scattered all over his head and face. ." Shi Xiangyun, who is lying drunk and covered with fallen flowers, is full of love and beauty, and looks like a "powerless rose lying on a dawn branch." Appreciation 2 The poem narrates that the poet went out for a spring outing by the river. At a glance, he felt that the place was completely new. Why? Because the warm east wind blows between heaven and earth, and the east wind urges hundreds of flowers to bloom, and the flowers bring people a colorful spring. The poet praised the beautiful scene of spring, and also said that the "east wind" is the source of colorful spring. "It's easy to recognize the east wind, and spring is always spring" has always been passed down as a famous saying. A brief introduction to Qin Guan, the author of "Spring Day"
