小编导读:《读蜀志》是宋代文学家、政治家王安石的作品。 《读蜀志》 王安石 千载纷争共一毛, 可怜身世两徒劳。 无人语与刘玄德, 问舍求田计最高。 Reading The Chronicle of Shu For a thousand years the world has fought over things as trivial as a feather— What a pity!— squandering lives for nothing. Why has nobody told that Liu the truth: his bet is to purchase some land, And to farm an easy living in the country?

Wang Anshi: North of the Yellow River ~ 《河北民》 王安石 with English Translations

小编导读:《河北民》是北宋文学家、政治家王安石创作的一首七言古诗。这首诗剪裁精当,言简意赅,全面反映当时百姓深受阶级剥削和民族压迫之苦,与当时社会现实形成鲜明对照的唐太宗贞观之治,这巧妙地构成了一幅完整的艺术画面,真切深刻地体现了此时此地的社会生活,表现了诗人对社会现实的不满和对理想世界的向往。 《河北民》 王安石 河北民,生近二边长苦辛。 家家养子学耕织,输与官家事夷狄。 今年大旱千里赤,州县仍催给河役。 老小相携来就南,南人丰年自无食。 悲愁白日天地昏,路旁过者无颜色。 汝生不及贞观中,斗粟数钱无兵戎。 North of the Yellow River Wang Anshi Hard the lot of the people who live north of the river On the borders of the Khitans and the Tanguts; Each household brings up its children to farm and weave But officials present the fruits to the barbarians. In this year of great drought a thousand li lie waste, Yet the magistrates press conscripts to work on the river; Leading their old and young by the hand they flee south Where the harvest was good—but the people there too have no food. Grief afflicts heaven and earth, makes dark the day, Even passersby turn pale. If only you could have lived in the reign of Zhenguan When grain cost but a few cash a peck and there was no war!

Wang Anshi: Silk-Washing Stream ~ 《浣溪沙·百亩中庭半是苔》 王安石 with English Translations

小编导读:本词为集句词。本词创作于王安石归隐钟山时期,词中以山上的桃花和溪边的杏树来比喻自己,字里行间流露出一种隐居山林后的寂寞和淡淡的哀愁。 《浣溪沙·百亩中庭半是苔》 王安石 百亩中庭半是苔, 门前白道水萦回。 爱闲能有几人来。 小院回廊春寂寂, 山桃溪杏两三栽。 为谁零落为谁开? Silk-Washing Stream Wang Anshi Half moss-hidden is my courtyard a hundred acres wide, Before my gate a winding path by riverside. Who would visit one fond of leisure and free hours? Spring in my courtyard girt with corridors is still; Two or three peach and apricots stand near the hill. For whom are they blooming and then fall in showers?

Wang Anshi: Buddhist Dancers Old Verses Rearranged ~ 《菩萨蛮·集句》 王 安石 with English Translations

小编导读:《菩萨蛮·集句》是北宋著名的文学家王安石创作的一首词。该词当系晚年之作。本篇写初夏风物。上片写花:海棠。下片写鸟:黄鹂。 《菩萨蛮·集句》 王安石 海棠乱发皆临水, 君知此处花何似? 凉月白纷纷, 香风隔岸闻。 啭枝黄鸟近, 隔岸声相应。 随意坐莓苔, 飘零酒一杯。 Buddhist Dancers Old Verses Rearranged Wang Anshi By waterside the crabapple flowers run riot; You know what they look like on rivershore so quiet. In cold moonlight while petals fall with ease, Across the stream blows fragrant breeze. Golden orioles warble on the tree nearby; Their warbling echoes low and high. I sit as I please on moss fine, Stroll or float with a cup of wine.

Wang Anshi: Walking in the Countryside ~ 《郊行》 王安石 with English Translations

《郊行》是宋代文学家王安石在至和年间(1054-1056)所创作的一首讽刺诗。全诗通过描写蚕农勤劳辛苦还闹饥荒的现实,暗示苛捐杂税猛于虎,讽刺统治者民不聊生。 《郊行》 王安石 柔桑采尽绿阴稀,芦箔蚕成密茧肥。 聊向村家问风俗:如何勤苦尚凶饥? Walking in the Countryside Wang Anshi Tender mulberry leaves picked so clean green shade is sparse; On reed beds silkworms grow into corpulent cocoons. Casually I ask the villagers of local ways, And why after all their hard labour they still go hungry.

Wang Anshi: Night Duty ~ 《夜直》 王安石 with English Translations

《夜直》是一首政治抒情诗。王安石遇到了赏识他主张的锐意变法的宋神宗,正是龙虎风云、君臣际遇的良机,大展鸿图,即在眼前。因此,他在值宿禁中的时候,面对良宵春色,剪剪轻风,金炉香烬,月移花影,一派风光,激起了思想上难以自制的波澜,为自己政治上的春色撩拨得不能成眠。王安石是借用爱情诗曲折地表达自己政治上的春风得意之情。 《夜直》 王安石 金炉香尽漏声残,翦翦轻风阵阵寒。 春色恼人眠不得,月移花影上栏干。 Night Duty Wang Anshi The golden bowl’s incense burns to ashes, the sound of the water-clock fades; Snip, snip goes the light breeze with its gusts of chill. Spring’s hues tease me, and I cannot sleep, While the moon moves the shadows of the flowers up the balustrade.

Wang Anshi: The Weaver-Urger ~ 《促织》 王安石 with English Translations

《促织》是北宋著名的思想家、政治家、文学家、改革家王安石的一首七言绝句。此诗不明作年。有说作于在京任群牧司判官或提点开封府界诸县镇公事期间,约与《出郊》同时。这是一首咏物诗。借咏促织,寄寓对社会不公的批判。 《促织》 王安石 金屏翠幔与秋宜,得此年年醉不知。 只向贫家促机杼,几家能有一絇丝? The Weaver-Urger Wang Anshi In autumn golden screens and emerald curtains are pleasing to the eye; People may indulge in them every year without giving any thought. They know only of urging the poor to work faster at the loom, Yet how many weavers can afford a single skein of silk thread?

Wang Anshi: Ascending Feilai Peak ~ 《登飞来峰》 王安石 with English Translations

《登飞来峰》是北宋文学家、政治家王安石创作的一首七言绝句。诗的第一句中写峰上古塔之高,写出自己的立足点之高。第二句巧妙地虚写出在高塔上看到的旭日东升的辉煌景象,表现了诗人朝气蓬勃,对前途充满信心。诗的后两句承接前两句写景议论抒情,使诗歌既有生动的形象又有深刻的哲理。古人常有浮云蔽日、邪臣蔽贤的忧虑,而诗人却加上“不畏”二字。表现了诗人在政治上高瞻远瞩,不畏奸邪的勇气和决心。 《登飞来峰》 王安石 飞来山上千寻塔,闻说鸡鸣见日升。 不畏浮云遮望眼,自缘身在最高层。 Ascending Feilai Peak Wang Anshi The pagoda on Feilai Peak towers, up to the sky; Here, they say, at cockcrow one can best watch the sun rise. I have no fear that floating clouds may blur my eyes, For on the topmost storey of the building am I.

Even if they are blown off as snow by a wind, It is far better than being ground into dust on a road.

Wang Anshi: Plum Blossoms ~《梅花》 王安石 with English Translations

《梅花》是北宋诗人王安石所作的一首五言绝句。诗中以梅花的坚强和高洁品格喻示那些像诗人一样,处于艰难、恶劣的环境中依然能坚持操守、主张正义,为国家强盛而不畏排挤和打击的人。 《梅花》 王安石 墙角数枝梅,凌寒独自开。 遥知不是雪,为有暗香来。 Plum Blossoms Wang Anshi A few plum twigs at the corner of the wall Blossoming all alone, defying the cold! Even from afar they cannot be mistaken for snow, For a delicate fragrance comes wafting with the breeze.

Wang Anshi: Pride of Fishermen ~ 《渔家傲·平岸小桥千嶂抱》 王安石 with English Translations

《渔家傲·平岸小桥千嶂抱》是宋代文学家王安石的词作。此词作于作者晚年隐居金陵(今南京)期间。上片写景,前两句写山水之美,后三句写屋子,描绘了一幅清幽的隐居图景;下片写在这片山水中的生活情趣和体验。通篇散发出一种纯净脱俗的美,反映出作者退出政治舞台后的生活情趣和心情。 《渔家傲·平岸小桥千嶂抱》 王安石 平岸小桥千嶂抱, 柔蓝一水萦花草。 茅屋数间窗窈窕。 尘不到, 时时自有春风扫。 午枕觉来闻语鸟, 欹眠似听朝鸡早。 忽忆故人今总老。 贪梦好, 茫然忘了邯郸道。 平岸小桥千嶂抱, 揉兰一水萦花草。 茅屋数间窗窈窕。 尘不到, 时时自有春风扫。 午枕觉来闻语鸟, 攲眠似听朝鸡早。 忽忆故人今总老。 贪梦好, 茫然忘了邯郸道。 Pride of Fishermen Wang Anshi Surrounded by peaks, a bridge flies from shore to shore; A soft blue stream flows through flowers before the door. A few thatched houses with windows I adore. There comes no dust, The place is swept by vernal breeze in fitful gust. I hear birds twitter when awake from nap at noon; I wonder in my bed why the cock crows so soon. Thinking of my friends who have all grown old, Why indulge in a dream of gold? Do not forget the way to glory is rough and cold!
