Yes, it has been pouring rain since the evening, and the above line from Jonathan Swift's satirical poem is very apt for the description of the continuous rain in the "description of the city shower".

Many times, rainwater seems to be synonymous with production and fertility, but now, especially in increasing and so-called developing cities, it is putting poor sanitation and lack of infrastructure into the spotlight for city dwellers.

When it rains, the rain pours down with garbage, debris, and disease. Sometimes, special prayers are used as a generous gift of rain to overcome the bad luck of a long drought.

Rainwater is seen as a kind of rebirth, and for many people, it is the cleaning agent that washes away all the dirt and impurities that have been going on for months. As Somerset Maugham's short story "Rain" suggests, rain acts as a cleaning agent to purify the atmosphere of all bad air.

This water of life also acts as an outlet for human emotions, a renewed energy, looking forward to sowing seeds, harvesting, and looking forward to a satisfying life.

In my mind and heart, childhood in the rain is still a glory in nostalgia. The child ran out of the door, under the wide and thick rainy sky, unrestrained, free, soaking wet, and eagerly thinking about drinking a cup of hot ginger tea and eating a piece of onion pie, what it would be like!

We know that when the sky becomes overcast, the rain in the reservoir is constantly surging in the roar of thunder and the flickering of light. Thunder is said to be the favorite weapon of the Greek god Zeus, used for renewal or forgiveness. But when we were children, it became a source of fascinating bedtime stories.

Heavy rain has always played a contradictory role, sometimes beautiful, sometimes evil, two sides of a contradiction. Sometimes it gives life to many things and causes disaster to others. Remember, rain is always an indication of an indicator to which we must surrender, no matter how well we develop. Life is like rain, and it never stops. The cycle of pros and cons is constantly brought to the world. The cycle never ends.

During the Vedic period, in our country, rain was considered a gift from God as it was generated in the sky and moistened the dry, arid and hot soil. It is the flow of water in the sky. It falls to the ground in the form of bathing and spraying, and then collects into streams and rivers that flow into the ocean.

The poet even uses the metaphor of raindrops, tears rolling down from the sky, from the sky, when the rain fills the clouds, it will pour down in the form of rain and squeeze all the rain out of the clouds.

The scent of fresh raindrops is intoxicating to humans, animals and birds hiding in the shade of the trees. The branches swayed in the wind under the weight of the raindrops.

It is said that when the famous singer Taenser sang in the courtyard of the Mughal king Akbar, and when he sang the song ragaMeghMalhay, heavy rain suddenly poured down, allowing the long-awaited rain to break the spell of drought.

The rain is just, and gives grace to all fairly, both princes and beggars, and does what they have. Rain breeds apathy and gloom. Heavy rains have left many people displaced and homeless. Torrential rains can also overflow drains, clogging up drain trenches with debris that washes up onto the beach. The continuous rainfall can affect the passage of urban roads, forming mud puddles on the road surface, and walking over the mud puddles will splash patches of mud.

The so-called severe traffic jam on the road is more like a car floating in a long stream of muddy water. The poor office worker breaks down halfway, as if he has entered a deserted land. After all, he had already gotten into the car, and he was separated by the hateful stagnant water in the muddy water for several kilometers. Muddy water needs to find an outlet to drain it.

The rain soon turned into a metaphor for crisis and worry. Due to the greedy and malicious nature of human beings, natural resources are gradually being depleted. While the rain rains down from heaven and bless us, our crowded alleys and driveways can't adapt to nature's bounty. So once it leads to a disaster, there is loss and destruction. Like "Noah and His Ark," God's wrath caused a lot of rain and catastrophic floods, but for us, in anticipation of the calamities that were coming, it was necessary to build our Noah's Ark. In this way, rain is no longer synonymous with destruction, but restores its own ecology, that is, as a giver and watchman of nature. (To be continued.) )
