"Sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently." Spring rain falls quietly at night with the spring breeze, silently moistening everything on the earth. Nowadays, in many places, "keeping things quiet" is used to describe that educators make the educated receive education and edification in a subtle way.
"Sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently." This is still anthropomorphic. These two sentences are also famous sentences, which are metaphors of meticulous care and gentle rain and dew. The combination of "sneaking into the night" and "silence" not only shows that rain is drizzle accompanied by breeze, but also shows that rain is intended to "moisten things quietly" and has no intention of seeking "goodness" If you are interested in seeking "good", it will come during the day and create a little momentum for people to see and hear clearly. Just because it deliberately "moistens things quietly" and has no intention of seeking "goodness", it chose a time that does not hinder people's work and labor, and quietly and carefully went underground at the night when people were sleeping.
If it rains so well, I hope it rains enough and stays up all night. If only for a while, the clouds will disperse, then "moistening things silently" is very incomplete. The poet grasped this point and wrote the third couplet (neck couplet). On a less gloomy night, the path is easier to see than the field, and the river is easier to distinguish than the shore. At this time, looking around, "the wild trails and clouds 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 certain that it will rain until dawn.
The tail couplet is about an imaginary scene. 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. Wait until tomorrow morning to have a look: the whole Jinguan City (south of Chengdu) is full of peanut trees, "red and wet", red and heavy, and merged into a sea of flowers.
This poem is about "rain", and the poet keenly grasped the characteristics of this rain and described it from all aspects. The first two sentences are about the rainy season, which directly praised the timeliness of the rain. Rain seems to know people's minds and comes quietly when it is most needed. The last six sentences focus on "rainy night". It was dark in the wild, only a little fishing fire was looming. The poet then guessed excitedly: By dawn, Jinguan City will be colorful. There is not a word "hi" in the poem, but the words "latent", "moist", "fine" and "wet" all reflect the poet's joy.
Pu Qilong said: "It is easy to write about rain and cut the night, but difficult to cut the spring." This poem "Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night" not only cuts the night and cuts the spring, but also writes the noble character of a typical spring rain, that is, "good rain", which shows the noble personality of poets and all "good people".
