Li Shangyin Poem: On the Plain of Imperial Tombs – 李商隐《乐游原》

乐游原 [1] 李商隐 向晚 [2] 意不适 [3] , 驱车登古原; 夕阳无限好, 只是近黄昏。 注释: [1] 乐游原:在长安城南,地势较高。《长安志》:“升平坊东北隅,汉乐游庙。”注云:“汉宣帝所立,因乐游苑为名。在高原上,余址尚有。……其地居京城之最高,四望宽敞。京城之内,俯视指掌。每正月晦日,三月三日,九月九日。京城士女咸就此登赏祓禊。” [2] 向晚:傍晚。 [3] 意不适:情绪不好。 On the Plain of Imperial Tombs Li Shangyin At dusk my heart is filled with gloom; I drive my cab to ancient tomb. The setting sun seems so sublime, But it is near its dying time. The Merry-making Plain was also called Plain of Imperial Tombs for emperors were buried there. The last two lines are proverbial as “He laughs best who laughs last.” 《乐游原》是唐代诗人李商隐的诗作。此诗赞美黄昏前的绮丽风光,表达自己的感受。前两句点出登原游览的原因:由于黄昏日暮心情不适,便驱车登上古原;后两句极力赞叹晚景之美:在夕阳余晖照耀下,涂抹上一层金色的世界。后两句诗历来脍炙人口,其意蕴非常丰富,具有极高的美学价值和思想价值。全诗语言明白如话,毫无雕饰,节奏明快,感喟深沉,富于哲理。 “On the Plain of Imperial Tombs” is a poem by Li Shangyin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shangyin Poem: The Sad Zither – 李商隐《锦瑟》

锦瑟 李商隐 锦瑟 [1] 无端 [2] 五十弦, 一弦一柱思华年 [3] 。 庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶 [4] , 望帝春心托杜鹃 [5] 。 沧海月明珠有泪 [6] , 蓝田日暖玉生烟 [7] 。 此情可待 [8] 成追忆, 只是当时已惘然。 注释: [1] 锦瑟:《周礼·乐器图》:“雅瑟二十三弦,颂瑟二十五弦,饰以宝玉者日宝瑟,绘文如锦者日锦瑟。”《汉书·郊祀志上》:“秦帝使素女鼓五十弦瑟,悲,帝禁不止,故破其瑟为二十五弦。”古瑟大小不等,弦数亦不同。一般说法,古瑟是五十条弦,后来的有二十五弦或十七弦等不同的瑟。 [2] 无端:没来由;无缘无故。此隐隐有悲伤之感,乃全诗之情感基调。 [3] “一弦”句:柱,是调整弦的音调高低的“支柱”,它把弦“架”住。“思”字应变读去声。律诗中不许有一连三个平声的出现。 [4] “庄生”句:《庄子·齐物论》:“庄用梦为蝴蝶,栩栩然蝴蝶也;自喻适志与!不知周也。俄然觉,则蘧蘧然周也。不知周之梦为蝴蝶与?蝴蝶之梦为周与?”商隐此引庄周梦蝶故事,以言人生如梦,往事如烟之意。 [5] “望帝”句:望帝,古代蜀国的君主,名杜宇,传说他让位死后,化为杜鹃鸟,悲啼不已。春心,伤春之心。 [6] “沧海”句:相传珍珠是由南海鲛人(神话中的人鱼)的眼泪变成,古人还认为海里的蚌珠随月亮盈亏而有圆缺变化,这里糅合了以上的典故。 [7] “蓝田”句:蓝田,即蓝田山,在今陕西蓝田县,为有名的产玉之地。日暖玉生烟,相传宝玉埋在地下,在阳光的照耀下,良玉上空会出现烟云。 [8] 可待:岂待;何待。 The Sad Zither Li Shangyin Why should the sad zither have fifty strings? Each string, each strain evokes but vanished springs: Dim morning dream to be a butterfly; Amorous heart poured out in cuckoo’s cry. In moonlit pearls see tears in mermaid’s eyes; From sunburnt jade in Blue Field let smoke rise. Such feeling cannot be recalled again;...

Li Shangyin Poem: For Han Wo, Poet Prodigy – 李商隐《韩冬郎即席为诗相 送》

韩冬郎 [1] 即席为诗相送,一座尽惊。他日余方追吟“连宵侍坐徘徊久”之句,有老成之风 [2] ,因成二绝寄酬,兼旱畏之员外(其一) 李商隐 十岁裁诗走马成 [3] , 冷灰残烛 [4] 动离情。 桐花万里丹山路 [5] , 雏凤清于老凤声 [6] 。 注释: [1] 冬郎:晚唐诗人韩偓的乳名,其父韩瞻(字畏之)与李商隐同年进士登第,同是王茂元的女婿。“连宵侍坐徘徊久”是残句,原诗已佚。大中五年(851)李商隐离开长安赴东川幕府时,韩氏父子为之饯行,偓曾作诗相送,其诗有“连宵侍坐徘徊久”句。至大中十年,李回长安,因作二首绝句追答。 [2] 老成之风:指冬郎虽年少,但诗风老练成熟。 [3] “十岁”句:十岁,大中五年,韩偓十岁。裁诗,作诗。走马成,言其作诗文思敏捷,走马之间即可成章。 [4] 冷灰残烛:当是当时饯别时宴席上的情景。 [5] “桐花”句:凤凰非梧桐不栖。 [6] “雏凤”句:此戏谑韩瞻,并赞其子韩偓的诗才。 For Han Wo, Poet Prodigy (Ⅰ) Li Shangyin You wrote a verse with highest speed at ten years old; We would not part though candle ashes turned cold. The flowery mountain path extends for miles long; The young surpass the old in singing phoenix’s song. 《For Han Wo, Poet Prodigy (Ⅰ)》是唐代诗人李商隐创作的七言绝句组诗作品。第一首诗盛赞韩偓少年才华出众,诗风清新老成,超过父辈。第二首诗将韩偓比作何逊,而把自己比作自认为才思低于何逊的沈约,对之倾倒备至,大加称赏。这组诗构思梢巧,结构上层层递进,萦回曲折,充满着动感与美感,融诗情画意与哲理思辩于一炉。 The poem “Han Donglang sends off a poet with a poem on the spot” is a poem written by Li Shangyin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The first poem praises Han con...

Li Shangyin Poem: Homage to the Mountain – 李商隐《谒山》

谒山 李商隐 从来系日乏长绳, 水去云回恨不胜。 欲就麻姑买沧海 [1] , 一杯春露冷如冰。 注释: [1] 欲就麻姑买沧海:典故取自晋代道学家葛洪所著的《神仙传·麻姑》:“麻姑自说云:’接侍以来,已见东海三为桑田。’” Homage to the Mountain Li Shangyin Since olden days there is no rope to bind the sun. How could we stop the cloud and water on the run? I’d like to buy the vast sea from the goddess nice, But a cup of spring dew soon turns as cold as ice. 《谒山》是唐代诗人李商隐登高山望见水去云回日落的景象有感而创作的七绝。这首诗运用大胆的想象和夸张手法,揭示了岁月难再、世事无常这一宇宙、人生和社会现象,表现了诗人对岁月无情流逝的无奈,也隐含着对自己怀才不遇、抱负难展的不幸遭遇的哀叹。全诗风格奇幻瑰丽,富于浪漫主义色彩。 The poem “Homage to the Mountain” is a poem written by Li Shangyin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, when he climbed a high mountain and saw the water going back to the clouds at sunset. The poem uses bold imagery and exaggeration to reveal the phenomenon of the universe, life and society that the years are hard to recapture and the world is unpredictable, expressing the poet’s helplessness at the relentless passing of the years and his implied lament at his own misfortune of not being able to me...

Li Shangyin Poem: On the Tower of the City Wall – 李商隐《安定城楼》

安定 [1] 城楼 李商隐 迢递 [2] 高城百尺楼, 绿杨枝外尽汀洲 [3] 。 贾生 [4] 年少虚垂涕, 王粲 [5] 春来更远游。 永忆江湖归白发, 欲回天地入扁舟。 不知腐鼠成滋味, 猜意鹓雏 [6] 竟未休。 注释: [1] 安定:唐代泾原节度使府所在地,故址在夸甘肃省泾川县北。唐文宗大和九年(835),李商隐的岳父王茂元任泾原节度使,李商隐于唐文宗开成三年(838)在其幕府中任掌书记,诗当写于此时。 [2] 迢递:遥远连绵。此形容楼高而且连续绵延。 [3] 汀洲:汀指水边之地,洲是水中之泥沙淤积的陆地。 [4] 贾生:指西汉人贾谊。贾谊年少即颇通诸子百家之书,文帝召以为博士,一岁中官至太中大夫。贾谊认为“时事可为痛哭者一,可为流涕者二,可为太息者六”,因此“教上书陈政事,多所欲匡建”,但文帝并未采纳他的建议。后来他呕血而亡,年仅三十三岁。商隐此时二十七岁,以贾生自比。 [5] 王粲:东汉末年人,建安七子之一。《三国志·魏书·王粲传》载:王粲年轻时曾流寓荆州,依附刘表,但并不得志。他曾于春日作《登楼赋》,其中有句云:“虽信美而非吾土兮,曾何足以少留?”商隐此以寄人篱下的王粲自比。 [6] 鹓(yuān)雏:古代传说中一种像凤凰的鸟。《庄子·秋水》:“惠子相梁,庄子往见之。或谓惠子曰:’庄子来,欲代子相。’于是惠子恐,搜于国中三日三夜。庄子往见之,曰:’南方有鸟,其名为鹓雏……发于南海而飞于北海,非梧桐不止,非练实不食,非醴泉不饮。于是鸱得腐鼠,鹓雏过之。仰而视之曰:嚇!今子欲以子之梁国而赫我邪?’”李商隐以庄子和鹓雏自比,表明自己有高远的心志,并非汲汲于官位利禄之辈,但谗佞之徒却以小人之心度之。 On the Tower of the City Wall Li Shangyin From hundred-foot-high city wall I look afar; Beyond green willow trees the sandy islets are. I remember a scholar while young shed vain tears, And a famed scholar roamed in the spring of his years. I can’t forget white-haired General on the ...

Li Shangyin Poem: On Lady Yang’s Death (Ⅱ) – 李商隐《马嵬二首》

马嵬 [1] 二首(其二) 李商隐 海外 [2] 徒闻更九州 [3] , 他生未卜此生休。 空闻虎旅 [4] 鸣宵柝 [5] , 无复鸡人 [6] 报晓筹。 此日六军同驻马, 当时七夕笑牵牛。 如何四纪 [7] 为天子, 不及卢家有莫愁 [8] ? 注释: [1] 马嵬(wéi):指马嵬驿,位于陕西西安兴平县西。安史之乱中这里发生兵变,兵变中陈玄礼迫使唐玄宗诛杀杨国忠和杨贵妃。 [2] 海外:相传,唐玄宗思念杨贵妃,道士在海外仙山寻找到贵妃,在唐诗人白居易的《长恨歌》和陈鸿《长恨歌传》中有详细记载。 [3] 九州:战国邹衍曾经说,中国只是赤县神州,海外还有像中国这样大小的九个州。 [4] 虎旅:古人称勇士为“虎贲”,这里虎旅指跟随玄宗逃难的禁军。 [5] 宵柝(tuò):指夜晚报更人所敲的木梆。 [6] 鸡人:皇宫中一般不养鸡,而是设有报时的卫士,每当到了鸡叫的时候,就到宫中报晓,所以被称为“鸡人”。 [7] 四纪:一纪为十二年,四纪就是四十八年。唐玄宗在位四十五年,这里取成数。 [8] 卢家有莫愁:南朝梁萧衍的《河中之水歌》中记载,有个洛阳女子叫莫愁,后来嫁给了卢家。 On Lady Yang’s Death (Ⅱ) Li Shangyin Tis said there is a fairyland over the sea. When this life is no more, can there another be? In vain the watchman beat at night the warning gong; No cock would wake her from dream with morning song. The six armies demanded her death left and right. Could she still laugh at severed lover-stars at night? Though the emperor reigned as long as forty years, She’s not so happy as a griefless maid appears. Lady Yang was the favorite mistress of the Bright Emperor of the Ta...

Li Shangyin Poem: On History – 李商隐《咏史》

《咏史》是唐代诗人李商隐创作的一首七言律诗。这首诗的首联回顾以往的朝代,勤俭能使国家昌盛而奢侈腐败会使国家灭亡,提出了一切政权成败的关键。颔联提出一个王朝的兴衰,自有其更复杂、更本质的原因所在。颈联推进一步,认为比勤俭更为重要的是国运和国力,这是此诗的主旨。尾联是对唐文宗的哀悼,抒发了对国家命运关注的深情。 咏史 李商隐 北湖 [1] 南埭 [2] 水漫漫, 一片降旗百尺竿。 三百年间同晓梦, 钟山 [3] 何处有龙盘 [4] ? 注释: [1] 北湖:玄武湖,相传南朝刘宋时湖中有黑龙出现而得名。湖的东面为钟山,湖的南面为鸡笼山。 [2] 南埭(dài):鸡鸣埭,位于鸡笼山东麓的山阜上,此处在南朝梁时建有同泰寺,为南京佛教首刹,后因侯景之乱而荒废。直到明代重建同泰寺,并更名为鸡鸣寺。 [3] 钟山:紫金山,位于南京东北十里左右,历史上曾用金山、蒋山等名字。 [4] 龙盘:张勃《吴录》中记载,刘备派诸葛亮出使吴国,诸葛亮看到金陵的景观后称赞说“钟山龙盘,石头(石头城)虎踞,帝王之宅也”。这里借用“龙盘”来指帝王之气。 On History Li Shangyin Water shimmers in Northern Lake and by Southern Tower, All kings surrendered with white flags to a new power. Three hundred years have passed like a dream one and all; No Coiling Dragon could keep kingdoms from downfall. The Northern Lake, Southern Tower, Mount Coiling Dragon are all in the vicinity of the capital of the six dynasties, but neither mountains nor rivers could defend the kingdom against the invading power. 《咏史》是唐代诗人李商隐创作的一首七言律诗。这首诗的首联回顾以往的朝代,勤俭能使国家昌盛而奢侈腐败会使国家灭亡,提出了一切政权成败的关键。颔联提出一个王朝的兴衰,自有其更复杂、...

无题四首(其一) 李商隐 来是空言去绝踪, 月斜楼上五更钟。 梦为远别啼难唤, 书被催成墨未浓。 蜡照 [1] 半笼金翡翠 [2] , 麝薰 [3] 微度绣芙蓉 [4] 。 刘郎 [5] 已恨蓬山 [6] 远, 更隔蓬山一万重。 注释: [1] 蜡照:烛光。 [2] 金翡翠:指上面镶有翡翠鸟图案的金色屏风。 [3] 麝薰:麝香的气味。 [4] 绣芙蓉:指上面绣有芙蓉花图案的帷帐。 [5] 刘郎:指刘晨。据说汉末(公元三世纪初)刘晨、阮肇上天台采药,山中迷路。遇二仙女,结成一段奇缘,返回家乡时人间已过了七世,后以“刘郎”指情郎。 [6] 蓬山:海中三仙山之一,这里指意中人的住处。 Untitled Poems (Ⅰ) Li Shangyin You said you’d come but you have gone and left no trace; I hear in the moonlit tower the fifth watch bell. In dream my cry could not call you back from distant place; In haste with ink unthickened I cannot write well. The candlelight illuminates half our broidered bed; The smell of musk still faintly sweetens lotus screen. Beyond my reach the far-off fairy mountains spread; But you’re still farther off than fairy mountains green. The poet writes for one unnamed lover who passed sweet nights together with him.

Spring silkworm till its death spins silk from love-sick heart; A candle but when burned out has no tears to shed. At dawn I’m grieved to think your mirrored hair turns grey; At night you would feel cold while I croon by moonlight. To the three fairy hills it is not a long way.
