《谒金门·春半》是南宋诗人朱淑真创作的一首写闺中春愁的小词。上片写仲春时节，眼前景色，触目生愁。虽“十二栏干倚遍”，也无法排遣春愁。下片写闺中人在这风和日暖的大好春光中，想起了自己所怀念的人，不禁愁绪万端，感到还不如成双成对的鸟儿，因此不愿再看见满院落花和断肠芳草。通篇哀婉细腻，愁思无限。
The poem ‘Visiting Jinmen: Half Spring’ is a small poem written by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Zhu Shuzhen to express the sorrow of spring in her boudoir. The previous film depicts the mid spring season, with a breathtaking scenery that evokes deep sorrow. Although the twelve railings are scattered all over, they cannot dispel spring sorrows. In this beautiful spring scenery with gentle breeze and warm sun, the person in the boudoir thinks of the person they miss. They can’t help but feel melancholy and feel that they are not as good as birds in pairs. Therefore, they don’t want to see the courtyard full of fallen flowers and fragrant grass with broken intestines anymore. The whole article is filled with sadness, delicacy, and infinite sorrow.
朱淑真·《谒金门·春半》
春已半，
触目此情无限。
十二阑干闲倚遍，
愁来天不管。
好是风和日暖，
输与莺莺燕燕。
满院落花帘不卷，
断肠芳草远。
Tune: At the Golden Gate
Mid-spring
Zhu Shuzhen
Half spring has passed,
The view awakes a sorrow vague and vast.
Unoccupied, I lean on all twelve balustrades,
But Heaven cares not if my sorrow fades.
Although the sun is warm and the breeze fair,
I envy orioles and swallows in pair.
When courtyard flowers fall, I won’t uproll the screen;
My heart would break when green grass can’t be seen.
