蕙本兰之族,依然臭味同。
曾为水仙佩,相识楚词中。
蕙本兰之族,依然臭味同。
曾为水仙佩,相识楚词中。
蕙草本是兰花的同族,
它们的香气依然相同。
它曾作为水仙的佩饰,
我在《楚辞》中与你相识。
The orchid family gave birth to the fragrant cymbidium,
Their scents, as ever, are kin and the same.
Once worn as adornment by the River Goddess,
I came to know you in the Songs of Chu.
物类认同隐喻士人阶层的价值共识。
以蕙与兰同族比喻君子志趣相投,赞美高洁品格。
本诗为五言绝句,押平声韵。
