Before the rain, I saw the stamens of newly bloomed flowers for the first time, but after the rain, I didn't even see a flower under the leaves.
Bees and butterflies flew over the wall one after another, making people suspect that the charming spring scenery is all next door.

I feel the rain and clear weather in the upper part, and express my homesickness in the lower part. This mountain is always there when it rains. When it clears up, the gorge is as clean as new. It's a joy to see the sky clear again. If it is clear, you can go out of the gorge, but you are still stuck, so you can't help but worry about it. Special custom, refers to Kuizhou, this is the seal written in tears. I miss my hometown in autumn, but I have no book to cover it. Homeland refers to Luoyang. Beyond the frown, the heart is sad but the eyes cannot see. Any reference to the classics must be renovated. The sound of the ape is stained with tears, and the yellow dog is attached to the book. The feeling is already sad. It is said that there are many apes but no tears have been shed, and there are no dogs but the books are frequently searched for, which makes the words even more miserable. The first sentence uses "The Fisherman's Song" from "Shui Jing Zhu", and the second sentence uses "Lu Ji Ru Luo Shi", but the notes are different. A brief introduction to Wang Jia, the author of "Rain and Clear"
Wang Jia (851~?), a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, with a courtesy name of Dayong, who called himself Mr. Shousu, was born in Hezhong (now Yongji, Shanxi). In the first year of Dashun (890), he became a Jinshi and became a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang. Later he abandoned his official position and went into seclusion. He is friendly to Zheng Gu and Sikong Tu, and his poetic style is also similar. Its quatrains are cleverly conceived and naturally fluent. Sikong Tu's "Commentary on Poems with Wang Jia" praised: "Those who are alive today will live here, soak in it for a long time, gain five words, and be good at thinking and surroundings. This is what poets respect.
