Good rain knows the season when spring is the whole poem.

Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night by Du Fu in Tang Dynasty;

Good rain knows the season, when spring comes.

Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently.

The wild path is dark, and the river is bright.

Look at the red and wet place, the flowers in Jinguancheng are heavy.

Good rain knows the solar terms of rain. It is the time when plants germinate and grow. It falls quietly at night with the spring breeze, silently moistening everything on the earth. On a rainy night, the fields were dark, and only the lights on the river boat were exceptionally bright. After dawn, looking at the flowers with rain, beautiful and fiery red, the whole Jinguan City has become a world of flowers.

Creation background

This poem was written in the spring of the second year of Shang Dynasty (AD 76 1). Du Fu's five-character poem is one of the famous works he wrote in the second year in Chengdu, which has been read by people all the time. At that time, with the help of relatives and friends and his painstaking efforts, the Huanhuacao Hall where the poet lived was basically completed.

Du Fu's life has finally been temporarily settled after a long period of wandering and suffering, so he has time to deeply observe and ponder the natural scenery of Chengdu, and on this basis, he has created many poems chanting for the bosom. Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night is one of the most outstanding songs.
