Cao Guan Poem: Phoenix Perching on Plane Tree · The Orchid Stream – 曹冠 《凤栖梧·兰溪》

凤栖梧·兰溪 曹冠 桂棹悠悠分浪稳。 烟幂层峦, 绿水连天远。 赢得锦囊诗句满, 兴来豪饮挥金碗。 飞絮撩人花照眼。 天阔风微, 燕外晴丝卷。 翠竹谁家门可款, 舣舟闲上斜阳岸。 Phoenix Perching on Plane Tree · The Orchid Stream Cao Guan The laurel boat cleaving the waves slowly goes by, Mist veils peaks low and high, Green water joins the far-off sky.

I moor my boat at sunset and go to the shore. 注释: The poet describes his leisurely life on boating. 《凤栖梧·兰溪》是宋代词人曹冠所作的词。本词描写泛舟兰溪的闲情逸致,表现了作者对故乡山川风物的热爱。本词有和婉优美的意境,朴素平易的语言,轻捷明快的节奏,读之颇觉轻松,回味又觉恬淡温馨。 “Phoenix Perching on Plane Tree · The Orchid Stream” is a song written by Cao Guan, a lyricist of the Song Dynasty.
