Happy Rain on a Spring Night Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town’s heavy with blooms.—Translated by Xu Yuanchong
This famous poem, was written by Du Fu (712-770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. The very first word, “Good”, shows Du’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the right time to come. Here Du uses personification (拟人), as if the rains were smart enough to come in time for the farmer’s busy season.
The rain comes during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
Next, Du describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Finally, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain.
