Good rain knows the season, when spring comes. It sneaked into the night with the wind, moistening things silently. What does this mean?

A word "good" praises "rain". 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. Isn't it? Spring is the season when everything germinates and grows. As long as it rains, it begins to rain. Look how nice it is!

Rain is "good" because it is timely and "moistens things silently". Spring rain, usually accompanied by a breeze, carefully moistens everything. However, there are exceptions. Sometimes, it will be accompanied by cold wind, from rain to snow.

Sometimes, it will be accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains. Although it rains in spring, it is not a typical spring rain. It will only hurt things and not "embellish things", naturally it will not make people "happy" and it is impossible to get a "good" evaluation. Therefore, the "knowing season" of the first couplet alone is not enough to fully show the "good" of rain. It was not until the second couplet wrote a typical spring rain-accompanied by gentle rain-that the word "good" was implemented. "Sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently." This is still anthropomorphic. 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 it clears up just for a while, then "moistening things silently" will not be very thorough.
