"Drizzle" (Chinese: 毛毛雨; pinyin: Máomáo Yǔ) is a Mandarin-language song written by Li Jinhui in 1927 and recorded by his daughter Minghui in 1928. Blending traditional Chinese folk music with western influences, the song lyrically promotes romantic love. After the success of the original recording, in 1934 Li Minghui recorded a new version with a faster tempo and heavier jazz influences. The song has been described as one of the earliest works of Chinese popular music, as well as a pioneer of the shidaiqu genre.
