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

Full poem: "Joyful Rain on a Spring Night" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty

Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen.

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

The wild paths are all dark with clouds, but the river boats are only bright with fire.

Looking at the red and wet place at dawn, the flowers are heavy on the official city.

Interpretation: Good rain seems to choose the right time to fall in the spring when all things emerge. With the gentle breeze, it quietly enters the night. Finely and densely, it nourishes all things on the earth. Thick dark clouds cover the fields and paths; little lights flicker on the fishing boats on the river. Look at the dewy flowers again tomorrow morning, Chengdu will be full of flowers.

Appreciation: "Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently" describes a typical spring rain - the drizzle accompanied by the gentle breeze. The combination of "diving into the night" and "silent" not only indicates that the rain is the drizzle accompanying the gentle wind, but also indicates that the rain intends to "moisten things" and has no intention of "please". Only because 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, silently and carefully at night when people are sleeping soundly.

This also reflects the gentle and non-utilitarian influence of education. Education aims to cultivate talents through peaceful means without asking for anything in return. It is not an urgent or intense action.

Extended information:

The rain is so "good", I hope it rains enough and lasts all night. If it only rains for a while and then the clouds clear and the sky clears, then the "moistening" is not very complete. The poet grasped this point and wrote a neck couplet. On a less gloomy night, the path is easier to see than the fields, and the river is easier to distinguish than the shore. Looking around now, "the wild paths are all dark with clouds, but the lights on the river boats are bright." Only the lights on the boats are bright.

In addition, even the river surface cannot be seen, the path cannot be discerned clearly, the sky is full of dark clouds, and the ground is as dark as clouds. It looks like the rain will continue until dawn. These two sentences describe the beautiful scene of rain at night. "Black" and "bright" set off each other, which not only highlights the thick clouds and sufficient rain, but also gives people a strong sense of beauty.
