绝代方能入汉宫,画图何必更求工。
纵令得幸因图画,已落君王疑信中。
绝代方能入汉宫,画图何必更求工。
纵令得幸因图画,已落君王疑信中。
只有绝代佳人才能进入汉宫,
画像又何必再追求精工细作?
纵然因为图画而得到宠幸,
也早已落入君王的猜疑之中。
A peerless beauty alone could enter the Han palace halls,
Why then demand perfection from the painter's art?
Even if favor were won through such a portrait's thrall,
She'd already fallen into the emperor's doubting heart.
美貌与画图的博弈,指向权力对真实的扭曲。
诗人咏王昭君,认为其绝代风华自当入选汉宫,无需画工美化,暗讽了宫廷选美的虚伪与不公。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
