《虞美人·春花秋月何時(shí)了》是南唐后主李煜的作品,相傳七夕之夜中命歌伎唱此詞,宋太宗趙匡義知道這件事后,賜酒將他毒死??胺Q絕命詞。此詞是一曲生命的哀歌,作者通過(guò)對(duì)自然永恒與人生無(wú)常的尖銳矛盾的對(duì)比,抒發(fā)了亡國(guó)后頓感生命落空的悲哀。全詞語(yǔ)言明凈、凝練、優(yōu)美、清新,以問(wèn)起,以答結(jié),由問(wèn)天、問(wèn)人而到自問(wèn),通過(guò)凄楚中不無(wú)激越的音調(diào)和曲折回旋、流走自如的藝術(shù)結(jié)構(gòu),使作者沛然莫御的愁思貫穿始終,形成沁人心脾的美感效應(yīng)。
李煜 《虞美人·春花秋月何時(shí)了》
春花秋月何時(shí)了,
往事知多少?
小樓昨夜又東風(fēng),
故國(guó)不堪回首月明中。
雕欄玉砌應(yīng)猶在,
只是朱顏改。
問(wèn)君能有幾多愁,
恰似一江春水向東流。
Spring Flower and Autumn Moon
(To the Tune of Yumeiren)
Li Yu
When will the endless cycle
of the spring flower and the autumn moon
come to an end?
How much remembrance of the things past
does a heart know?
Last night, in the attic revisted
by the eastern wind,
it was unbearable to look
toward home in the fair moonlight.
The carved rails and the marble steps must remain
unchanged, but not her beauty.
How much sorrow do I have?
It is like the spring flood of a long river flowing east!
