Famous Quote: The light rain on the sky street is as moist as crisp, the color of grass looks far away but not up close.

When writing about the light rain in early spring, I describe its smoothness and moistness as "as moist as crisp", which describes its characteristics very accurately, and the words and sentences are very beautiful. It is similar to Du Fu's "Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen. Sneak into the night with the wind, moistening things silently".

In early spring, Zhang Shiba of the Ministry of Water was outside

Author: Han Yu (Tang Dynasty)

The light rain on the sky street is as moist as crisp, and the color of grass looks far away but not up close.

The best thing about spring is that it is better than the smoke and willows all over the imperial capital.

Translation

The sky above Beijing Avenue is filled with silk rain, which is as fine and moist as butter. From a distance, the grass color is vaguely connected, but when viewed up close, it appears sparse and sporadic.

This is the most beautiful season of the year, far better than late spring when the city is full of green willows.
