Bai Juyi 后宫词 泪湿罗巾梦不成， 夜深前殿按歌声[1]。 红颜未老恩先断， 斜倚熏笼[2]坐到明。 这首诗是代宫女所作的怨词。第一句“泪湿罗巾”写宫女等待君王不来，哭得泪眼不干，这是怨的外形，是第一层怨。等待的结果是失望，只好寻梦，梦又不成，这是第二层怨。梦不成却听见前殿歌声，说明君王正在寻欢作乐，但是没有自己陪伴，这是第三层怨。如果自己年龄大了，失宠倒也情有可原，偏偏红颜未老，这是第四层怨。如果从来没有受过恩宠倒也罢了，偏偏是受宠之后恩断，这是第五层怨。恩断还不死心，却要斜倚熏笼一直等到天明，这是第六层怨。全诗由希望转到失望，由失望转到苦望，由苦望最后转到绝望；由现实进入幻想，由幻想进入痴想，由痴想再回到现实，千回百转，倾注了诗人对宫女的深挚同情。 注释： [1]按歌声：按照歌声的韵律打节拍。 [2]熏笼：覆罩香炉的竹笼，古时一种烘烤和取暖的用具，用来熏衣被等。 The Deserted Her handkerchief soaked with tears, she cannot fall asleep, But overhears band music waft when night is deep. Her rosy face outlasts the favor of the king; She leans on her perfumed bed till morning birds sing....

Wang Wei 小编导读：《再见封侯》的作者是王维，被选入《全唐诗》的第128卷第67首。 Editor's introduction: The author of "Goodbye to the Marquis" is Wang Wei, and it was selected as the 67th poem in Volume 128 of "Complete Tang Poems". 《再见封侯》 王维 再见封侯万户，立谈赐璧一双。讵胜耦耕南亩，何如高卧东窗。 Though One Can Be made chief Though one can be made chief of a ten-thousand-household fiefOr granted a pair of jade with royal favour inlaid,Still none can shake my belief in tillers' rare relief:What's nicer than a slumber made on a pillow by a window laid?...

Withdrawn, you write on royal paper colorful; With pendants clinking you return to Phoenix Pool....

Bai Juyi 《直中书省》是唐代诗人白居易创作的一首七言绝句。这首诗描写诗人当值丝纶阁，因无事闲坐而觉得刻漏声长，因寂寞无伴而端详紫薇花，进而感到更加寂寞。诗人隐约地表达出了对自己所从事的枯燥工作的失望，影射了当时沉闷的政治气氛，进而表达了对此的不满。这首诗字句浅白、叙事清晰。 "Directing the Secretariat" is a seven-character quatrain written by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi. This poem describes the poet's duty in the Silken Tower. He felt the sound of the clepsydra was long because he was sitting idle, and felt even more lonely because he was lonely and alone. The poet vaguely expressed his disappointment in the boring work he was engaged in, alluded to the dull political atmosphere at that time, and then expressed his dissatisfaction with it. This poem is simple in words and clear in narrative. 《直中书省》 白居易 丝纶阁下文章静，钟鼓楼中刻漏长。独坐黄昏谁是伴，紫薇花对紫薇郎。 On Duty in the Cabinet Bai Juyi In the cabinet I have not edict to write,But listen to the bells and drums to announce ehours.Who accompanies me at the fall of the night?Before my violet gown blossom the violet flowers....

Li Shangyin 楚宫 湘波如泪色漻漻[1]， 楚厉[2]迷魂逐恨遥。 枫树夜猿愁自断， 女萝[3]山鬼[4]语相邀。 空归腐败犹难复， 更困腥臊岂易招。 但使故乡三户[5]在， 彩丝[6]谁惜惧长蛟。 本篇是为凭吊屈原而作，但并未从屈原的人品才能和政治上的不幸遭遇着笔，通篇都在写屈原的“迷魂”，景象凄迷，悲情如海，让人含恨无穷。 注释： [1]漻漻：水清澈状。 [2]楚厉：指屈原。屈原投江而死，无后人、无归处，古称“鬼无所归则为厉”。 [3]女萝：菟丝，一种缘物而生的藤蔓。 [4]山鬼：山中之神，因为非正神，故称“鬼”。 [5]三户：指楚人。《史记·项羽本纪》：“楚虽三户，亡秦必楚。” [6]彩丝：指五彩丝线扎成的棕子。 To the Poet Drowned in the Southern Lake The waves of the Southern Lake roll with bitter tears, Your enchanted soul goes with the waves far away. The ape on maple tree wails and then disappears. The mountain fairy in ivy leaves would show you the way. Your putrid body could not come to life again. How could your soul get rid of the fishes’stinking smell? But so long as your younger Southerners remain, Their long long rope would bind the long long serpent fell. Note:The poet,a loyal minister banished by the king of Chu（楚王）drowned himself in the Southern Lake 2000 years ago....
