七絕《隋宮》是唐代詩人李商隱的作品。此詩選取典型題材,諷詠隋煬帝楊廣奢侈嬉游之事。首二句寫煬帝任興恣游,肆行無忌,且濫殺忠諫之士,遂伏下殺身之禍。次二句取裁錦一事寫其耗費(fèi)之巨,將一人與舉國、宮錦與障泥和船帆對(duì)比,突出煬帝之驕奢淫逸。
《隋宮》 李商隱
乘興南游不戒嚴(yán),九重誰省諫書函。
春風(fēng)舉國裁宮錦,半作障泥半作帆。
The Sui Palace
by Li Shangyin
When gaily the Emperor toured the south
Contrary to every warning,
His whole empire cuts brocades,
Half for wheel-guards, half for sails.
