Happy spring night
Du Fu
Composer Zheng Bingbing
Good rain knows the season, but spring comes.
With wind the spring rain sneaks in night. Silently, it moistens everything.
The wild path is dark, and the river boat fire is bright.
When it is dawn, the damp soil will be covered with red petals, and there will be countless colorful flowers in the streets and alleys.
translation
Good rain seems to choose the time to come in the spring when all things sprout.
With the wind, quietly into the night. Fine and dense, moisten all things on the earth.
Thick clouds, covering the fields, paths, little lights, flashing fishing boats on the river.
If you look at the flowers with dew in the morning, Chengdu will be in full bloom.
notes
This poem was written in the spring of 761. After a period of exile, Du Fu finally settled in Chengdu, Sichuan Province due to the drought in Shaanxi Province, and began a relatively stable life in Sichuan. When he wrote this poem, he had settled in Chengdu for two years. He personally cultivated, planted vegetables, raised flowers, and interacted with farmers. He was deeply in love with the spring rain, so he wrote this beautiful poem describing the rain on a spring night and moistening everything. A kind of
This is a famous work to depict the rain scene on a spring night and express the happy mood. Praise "rain" with a word "good" at the beginning. In life, "good" is often used to praise those who do good. Nowadays, praising rain with "good" has aroused the association of people who do good deeds. Next, the rain is personified, saying that it "knows the season" and knows how to meet the objective needs. Among them, the word "Zhi" is vividly used, which makes the rain vivid. Spring is the season for all things to sprout and grow. When it needs rain, it begins to rain. It's really good.
The "occurrence" of rain in Chinese couplet further shows the "good" of rain, in which the characters of "latent", "moist" and "fine" vividly show the "good" characteristics of rain. The reason why rain is "good" is that it is timely and moistening things. The rain in spring usually moistens everything with gentle wind and light rain. However, there are exceptions. Sometimes, it will be accompanied by cold wind, affected by cold air, from rain to snow. Sometimes, it will be accompanied by the wind, under a very violent. Although it rained in spring, it was not a typical spring rain. It would only damage things but not "moisten them". Naturally, it would not make people "happy" or get "good" reviews. Therefore, the "knowing the season" of the first couplet alone is not enough to fully express the "good" of rain. When the second couplet wrote the typical spring rain - accompanied by the gentle rain, the word "good" was implemented. "Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently." It's still anthropomorphic. The combination of "diving into the night" and "Silence" not only indicates that the rain is accompanied by the wind, but also indicates that the rain intends to "moisten things" and has no intention to "please". If you want to ask for "good", it will come in the daytime, and it will create a little momentum so that people can see and hear it clearly. Only when it intends to "moisten things" and has no intention of seeking "good things" does it choose a time that does not hinder people's work and labor to come quietly, quietly and carefully at night when people are sleeping soundly.
If the rain is so "good", I hope it will rain enough and last all night. If only after a while, the clouds will disperse and the sky will clear, then the "moistening things" will not be very thorough. The poet grasped this point and wrote the 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. Now look around, "the wild path is dark, the river boat fire is bright." Only the lights on the boat are bright. In addition, even the river could not be seen, the path could not be distinguished, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the ground was as black as clouds. It looks like the rain is going to rain till dawn. These two sentences describe the beautiful scene of rain at night, and "black" and "bright" set off each other. They not only point out the thick clouds and abundant rain, but also give people a strong sense of beauty.
In the choice of rhyme, the poet uses rhyme to express his feelings. The "Geng" rhyme he chooses is the last nasal vowel. Its pronunciation process is long, which objectively slows down the time and intonation of the whole poem. This is just suitable for expressing the long and delicate feelings of joy but not impulse, mellow but not unrestrained
Du Fu's five character poem is one of the famous poems he wrote in his second year in Chengdu, which has always been recited by people. At that time, with the help of his relatives and friends and his painstaking efforts, the Huanhua thatched cottage where he lived was basically completed. After a long period of exile and suffering, Du Fu's life was finally stable for the time being. That's why he was able to make in-depth observation and careful consideration of Chengdu's natural scenery, and on this basis, he wrote many poems about them. "Happy rain on a spring night" is one of the most outstanding songs.
The fifth and sixth sentences further describe the night rain scenery from the perspective of "vision". "Wild path" refers to the path between the fields, refers to the ground; "cloud" refers to the sky. Because it's raining at night, the clouds are thick, the stars are hidden, the moon is dark, the sky and the ground are dark, which means that the rain is heavy. And in a dark world, only the boat on the riverside radiates a ray of light, and it looks very bright. This is a very vivid picture of night in the rain. The words "Ju" and "Du" used by the poet here are to highlight this kind of scene. And in this scene, also contains the poet's own surprise feelings.

The poem is delicate and moving. The plot of the poem is from general narration to image description, from hearing to witnessing, from that night to the next morning. Be careful with your words. The scene of rain at night, which is quite difficult to write, is very dazzling and prominent, which makes people read between the lines. Breathe a joyful breath of spring. Although the title of this poem is "happy rain on a spring night", the whole poem does not reveal the word "happy", but it is always full of happy meaning. It is obvious that the poet's emotion is not a temporary impulse, but has its realistic basis. According to historical records, one year before he wrote this poem, there was a serious famine in the capital area, "when rice is worth 7000 yuan, people eat each other" (Zi Zhi Tong Jian Tang Ji). Therefore, as soon as Du Fu heard the rain, he felt infinite joy, which just reflected the poet's lofty thoughts and feelings of caring about the people's suffering. A kind of
