絕代方能入漢宮,畫圖何必更求工。
縱令得幸因圖畫,已落君王疑信中。
絕代方能入漢宮,畫圖何必更求工。
縱令得幸因圖畫,已落君王疑信中。
只有絕代佳人才能進入漢宮,
畫像又何必再追求精工細作?
縱然因爲圖畫而得到寵幸,
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.
美貌與畫圖的博弈,指向權力對真實的扭曲。
詩人詠王昭君,認爲其絕代風華自當入選漢宮,無需畫工美化,暗諷了宮廷選美的虛僞與不公。
本詩為七言絕句,押平聲韻。
