What are all ancient poems?

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, flowing all over the street, slipping away from school and laughing at a herd of cows.

From: Spring Rain by Jie Jin in Ming Dynasty.

Jie Jin is short and pithy, good at conjunctions, quick-thinking and straightforward. According to legend, when he was a child, he fell in the rain, which caused passers-by to laugh. He casually wrote a poem: "Spring rain is as expensive as oil and flows all over the street. Slippery, laugh at a group of cows. "

The drizzle in spring is as precious as oil, and it is hard to describe the spring rain.

Extended data

The root cause of "spring rain is as expensive as oil" in North China

The spring drought in North China is more serious. The spring rain accounts for 10- 15% of the annual precipitation, and in some places it is less than 10%. Spring is a rainy season in autumn and winter. Coupled with the rapid temperature rise in spring, windy days and strong evaporation, it is often easy to form a continuous drought.

At the same time, it is the time when the overwintering crops turn green to milky maturity, which requires a lot of water, and cotton and other seedlings also need enough water, so the spring drought is prominent. If there is rain at this time, it will naturally be particularly precious, so it is said that "spring rain is as expensive as oil".
