小编导读：《晚春》是唐代文学家韩愈的诗作。这是一首写暮春景物的七绝。此诗运用拟人的修辞手法，通过描写花草树木得知春天不久就要归去，于是各逞姿色，争芳斗艳，欲将春天留住，就连那本来没有任何姿色的杨花、榆荚也不甘示弱，好像雪花随风飞舞，加入了留春的行列。全诗表达了诗人惜春的思想感情，同时也蕴含应抓住时机，乘时而进，创造美好未来之意。 《晚春》 韩愈 草树知春不久归，百般红紫斗芳菲。 杨花榆荚无才思，惟解漫天作雪飞。 Late Spring Han Yu Spring is on the way out, grass and plants know— In red in purple they strive to make the season stay. Elms and poplars, not so gifted, just let their flowers go Drifting, thinking they have created a vast snowy day.

小编导读：《听颖师弹琴》是唐代诗人韩愈的作品。此诗写作者听颖师弹琴的感受。诗从演奏的开始起笔，到琴声的终止完篇。诗人首先运用多种手法刻画了音乐形象，然后，诗人又写了音乐效果，以自己当时的坐立不安、泪雨滂沱和冰炭塞肠的深刻感受，说明音乐的感人力量。形象的刻画为效果的描写提供了根据，而效果的描写又反证了形象的刻画的真实可信，二者各尽其妙，交互为用，相得益彰。 《听颖师弹琴》 韩愈 昵昵儿女语，恩怨相尔汝。 划然变轩昂，勇士赴敌场。 浮云柳絮无根蒂，天地阔远任飞扬。 喧啾百鸟群，忽见孤凤凰。 跻攀分寸不可上，失势一落千丈强。 嗟余有两耳，未省听丝篁。 自闻颖师弹，起坐在一旁。 推手遽止之，湿衣泪滂滂。 颖乎尔诚能，无以冰炭置我肠！ Listening to the Lute Music Played by Ying, the Monk Han Yu Wooing, cooing, a young couple’s whispering, Loving, longing, a modulation everlasting. A dignified peal of notes— Soldiers marching for the battle. Then, clouds drifting, willow catkins floating, Wind-blessed, no land is too far, no sky too high. Flocks of birds, tweeting and warbling, Are hushed by a phoenix’s solitary melody. The tune is climbing higher and higher—Where’s The next toehold? Alas, it drops, down, down To the fathomless deeps! My ears have never been tuned for music, But I’m so overwhelmed by the strains, Restless in my seat, in mind, and in tears! —Would you please stop for a...

小编导读：《早春呈水部张十八员外》是唐代文学家韩愈创作的七言绝句。该诗通过细致入微的观察，描写了长安初春小雨的优美景色，写景清丽，表达了对春天来临时生机蓬勃景象的敏感以及由此而引发的欣悦之情，以引逗好友走出家门，去感受早春的信息。 《早春呈水部张十八员外》 韩愈 天街小雨润如酥，草色遥看近却无。 最是一年春好处，绝胜烟柳满皇都。 Early Spring in the Capital: To Zhang Ji Han Yu The fine drizzle has turned the fine streets creamy— New grass, visible from afar, vanishing when near. This, my friend, is the best time of the spring, of the year— Absolutely the best—before hazy willows becloud the city.

小编导读：《春雪》是唐代诗人韩愈创作的一首七言绝句。这首诗构思新颖，联想奇妙。首句写人们在漫漫寒冬中久盼春色的焦急心情。一个“都”字，透露出这种急切的心情。第二句中，“惊”字最宜玩味，它写出了人们在焦急的期待中终于见到“春色”萌芽而新奇、惊讶、欣喜的神情，十分传神。诗句表达了这样一种感情：虽然春色姗姗来迟，但毕竟就要来了。三、四句表面是说有雪无花，实际是说白雪比人更等不住，穿树飞花作春色。这实际是诗人期盼春天，在自然界还没有春色时幻化出的一片春色，富有浓烈的浪漫主义色彩。 《春雪》 韩愈 新年都未有芳华，二月初惊见草芽。 白雪却嫌春色晚，故穿庭树作飞花。 Snow in Spring Han Yu The new year has yet no fragrant blossoms, But the second moon suddenly sees the grass sprouting; The white snow, vexed by the late coming of spring’s colours, Of set purpose darts among the courtyard’s trees to fashion flying petals.

小编导读：这首诗写作上一个特点是善用微词，似直而曲，有案无断，耐人寻味，艺术上别有一番功夫。 《游太平公主山庄》 韩愈 公主当年欲占春，故将台榭压城闉。 欲知前面花多少，直到南山不属人。 Visiting Princess Taiping’s Villa Han Yu In those days the Princess wished to monopolize spring, Her terraces and pavilions put the palace gates to shame. Should you ask how many more flowers are ahead, Well, they extend to Zhongnan Mountain, where no humans reign.

《马说》是唐代文学家韩愈的一篇借物寓意的杂文，属论说文体，原为韩愈所作《韩愈文选》中《杂说》的第四篇，“马说”这个标题为后人所加。此文作于贞元十一年至十六年间（公元795—800）。“说”是“谈谈”的意思，是古代一种议论文体裁。这篇文章以马为喻，谈的是人才问题，表达了作者对统治者不能识别人才、不重视人才、埋没人才的强烈愤慨。 《马说》 韩愈 世有伯乐，然后有千里马。千里马常有，而伯乐不常有。故虽有名马，祇辱于奴隶之手，骈死于槽枥之间，不以千里称也。 马之千里者，一食或尽粟一石。食马者，不知其能千里而食也。是马也，虽有千里之能，食不饱，力不足，才美不外见，且欲与常马等不可得，安求其能千里也？ 策之不以其道，食之不能尽其材，鸣之而不能通其意，执策而临之，曰：“天下无马。”呜呼！其真无马耶？其真不知马也！ On Horses Han Yu Only after Bole came into the world were there horses able to gallop one thousand li. Such horses are common, but a Bole is rare. So even fine steeds, if mishandled by slaves, will perish in their stables without being known as good horses. A thousand-li horses may eat one bushel of grain at a meal, but if its groom does not know that this is what enables it to gallop a thousand li and fails to feed it enough, so that it lacks strength, it will not display its ability and natural gifts. Indeed, it may be no match for common horses; so how then can it gallop a thousand li? If it is whipped and goaded on in the wrong way, ...
