《麗人行》是中國唐代偉大詩人杜甫的作品,約作于唐天寶十二載(753年)。此詩通過描寫楊氏兄妹曲江春游的情景,揭露了統(tǒng)治者荒淫腐朽作威作福的丑態(tài),從一個角度反映了安史之亂前夕的社會現(xiàn)實。
杜甫 《麗人行》
三月三日天氣新,長安水邊多麗人。
態(tài)濃意遠淑且真,肌理細膩骨肉勻。
繡羅衣裳照暮春,蹙金孔雀銀麒麟。
頭上何所有? 翠微盍葉垂鬢唇。
背后何所見? 珠壓腰衱穩(wěn)稱身。
就中云幕椒房親,賜名大國虢與秦。
紫駝之峰出翠釜,水精之盤行素鱗。
犀箸厭飫久未下,鑾刀縷切空紛綸。
黃門飛鞚不動塵,御廚絡繹送八珍。
簫鼓哀吟感鬼神,賓從雜遝實要津。
后來鞍馬何逡巡,當軒下馬入錦茵。
楊花雪落覆白蘋,青鳥飛去銜紅巾。
炙手可熱勢絕倫,慎莫近前丞相嗔。
Satire on Fair Ladies
Du Fu
The weather’s fine in the third moon on the third day,
By riverside so many beauties in array.
Each of the ladies has a fascinating face,
Their skin is delicate, their manner full of grace.
Embroidered with peacocks and unicorns in gold,
Their dress in rich silks shines so bright when spring is old.
What do they wear on the head?
Emerald pendant leaves hang down in silver thread.
What do you see from behind?
How nice-fitting are their waistbands with peals combined.
Among them there’re the emperor’s favorite kin,
Ennobled Duchess of Guo comes with Duchess of Qin.
What do they eat?
The purple meat
Of camel’s hump cooked in green cauldron as a dish;
On crystal plate is served snow-white slices of raw fish.
See rhino chopsticks the satiated eaters stay,
And untouched morsels carved by belled knives on the tray.
When eunuchs’ horses come running, no dust is raised;
They bring still more rare dishes delicious to the taste.
Listen to soul-stirring music of flutes and drums!
On the main road an official retinue comes.
A rider ambles on saddled horse, the last of all,
He alights, treads on satin carpet, enters the hall.
The willow down like snow falls on the duckweed white;
The blue bird picking red handkerchief goes in flight.
The prime minister’s powerful without a peer.
His angry touch would burn your hand. Do not come near!
