舊雨 [jiù yǔ] [jiu yu]—
When 杜甫 [du fu] (Dù Fǔ) was bedridden (臥病 [wo bing]) and sojourning (客居 [ke ju]) in 長安 [zhang an] (Cháng'ān), he recalled his old acquaintances and friends (故交老友 [gu jiao lao you]). Even on rainy days, they would come to visit; but now, his newly made friends (新交的朋友 [xin jiao de peng you]) are not like that. This originates from 杜甫 [du fu] (Dù Fǔ)'s Tang (唐 [tang]) Dynasty poem, "Autumn Monologue" (〈秋述 [qiu shu]〉), which states: "In autumn, Master Du (杜子 [du zi]) was bedridden (臥病 [wo bing]) while sojourning (旅次 [lu ci]) in 長安 [zhang an] (Cháng'ān). There was so much rain that fish appeared (多雨生魚 [duo yu sheng yu]), and green moss reached the bed (青苔及榻 [qing tai ji ta]). Regular visitors who came by carriage (車馬之客 [che ma zhi ke]), in the past (舊 [jiu]), would come even when it rained (雨來 [yu lai]); now (今 [jin]), they do not come when it rains (雨不來 [yu bu lai])." Subsequently, the term (jiùyǔ), literally "old rain," came to refer to old friends (老朋友 [lao peng you]). In Wu Mei (吳梅 [wu mei])'s Qing (清 [qing]) Dynasty cí (詞 [ci]) poem, "Immortal at the River's Edge" (〈臨江仙 [lin jiang xian]．短衣羸馬邊塵緊 [duan yi lei ma bian chen jin]〉), it reads: "Bitterly facing the southern clouds, I long for my old friends, while the news of apricot blossoms (杏花 [xing hua]) is fading (闌珊 [lan shan])."
舊雨：杜甫臥病客居長安時，憶故交老友，雖逢雨天，亦曾前來探視；而今新交的朋友則不然。語本唐．杜甫〈秋述〉：「秋，杜子臥病長安旅次，多雨生魚，青苔及榻。常時車馬之客，舊，雨來；今，雨不來。」後遂以舊雨指老朋友。清．吳梅〈臨江仙．短衣羸馬邊塵緊〉詞：「苦對南雲思舊雨，杏花消息闌珊。」
