造化功夫异异端,自缘开晚少人看。
若教总似陶潜眼,肯向芳春赏牡丹。
造化功夫异异端,自缘开晚少人看。
若教总似陶潜眼,肯向芳春赏牡丹。
造化的功夫奇妙,与寻常花卉不同;
只因它开放得晚,便少有人来观赏。
如果世人都能像陶渊明那样具有慧眼,
谁还会在芬芳的春天去欣赏牡丹呢?
The workings of Nature are wondrous, distinct from common ways;
It is because they bloom late that few come to gaze.
If all could share Tao Qian's discerning eye,
Who would then rush to admire the peony in fragrant spring?
菊之晚开隐含对个体价值与时代机遇的博弈思考。
咏菊花开晚而少人观赏,感叹造化弄人与际遇之异。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
