青門不種故侯瓜,揀得湖山便寄家。
老境一廛依水竹,壯遊萬裡犯風沙。
氣衰那辦飲無算,病著更知生有涯。
莫道吾廬全索寞,牆東新補數株花。
青門不種故侯瓜,揀得湖山便寄家。
老境一廛依水竹,壯遊萬裡犯風沙。
氣衰那辦飲無算,病著更知生有涯。
莫道吾廬全索寞,牆東新補數株花。
我不在青門外種植昔日王侯的瓜種,
選擇了這湖光山色便在此安家。
晚年時,我有一小塊地傍著水邊的竹林;
壯年時,我曾遠遊萬里,穿越風沙。
如今元氣衰減,哪還能無節制地飲酒?
身染疾病,更明白生命總有盡頭。
莫要說我的居所全然寂寞冷清,
看那牆東邊,我已新補種了幾株花。
No gourds of ancient lords by my green gate I sow,
I choose the lake and hills and make my dwelling here.
In my old age, a plot by water and bamboo I own;
In my prime, ten thousand miles through wind and sand I've gone.
My vigor wanes, how can I drink without an end?
In sickness, I know more that life will have its bound.
Don't say my cottage is entirely bleak and bare;
To the east of the wall, a few new flowers I've grown.
擇居湖山是對傳統仕途認同的疏離與自我治理的實踐。
表達詩人不慕前代侯爵富貴,選擇湖山幽居、寄情自然的超脫與閒適之志。
本詩為七言律詩,押平聲韻。
