春怨
打起黄莺儿,
莫教枝上啼。
啼时惊妾梦,
不得到辽西。
Drive off the oriole, I pray,
Do not let it sing on the bough.
Its chirping breaks my dream away,
So I cannot reach Liaoxi now.
逐句注释
打起黄莺儿,
打起:赶走。黄莺儿:黄莺,又称黄鹂,春日鸣禽。起句以口语化的命令口吻写女子迁怒于鸟,设置悬念:为何要赶走美好的春鸟?看似无理,实为深情,借物写情。
Drive away the oriole: a colloquial imperative. The woman vents her anger on a spring songbird. It creates suspense: why chase away such a lovely bird? Apparently unreasonable, yet it reveals deep feeling.
莫教枝上啼。
莫教:不要让。啼:鸟鸣。承上说明原因,却不立即说破,以“莫教”加强恳求与嗔怪语气,层层递进,为后文梦境铺垫。
Do not let it sing on the branch: this explains her command without yet revealing the true reason. Do not let intensifies pleading and irritation, building toward the dream revelation.
啼时惊妾梦,
啼时:鸟啼之时。妾:古代女子自称,此处见思妇身份。惊:惊醒、打断。转句点明原因:鸟鸣惊醒好梦,情感由嗔怪转向哀怨。
When it sings, it startles my dream: 妾 is a traditional female self-reference, showing she is a wife longing for her husband. Startles breaks the dream, shifting the tone from scolding to sorrow.
不得到辽西。
不得:不能。辽西:唐代东北边塞地区,征戍之地,代指丈夫所在。结句点出主旨:梦被惊醒,便不能到辽西与征人相会。以梦境写现实相思,含蓄不尽。
I cannot get to Liaoxi: Liaoxi was a northeastern frontier garrison in the Tang dynasty, standing for her husband's distant post. The closing line reveals the theme: once the dream breaks, she cannot reach him. Dream becomes a figure for real longing, leaving much unsaid.
今日赏析
金昌绪,唐代诗人,生平事迹不详。唐代边塞战事频繁,许多将士远戍辽西等东北边地,家中妻子独守空闺,思念征夫。此诗一作《伊州歌》,收入《唐诗三百首》。诗人截取春日清晨黄莺惊破思妇好梦的瞬间,用四句层层倒叙、最后点明辽西的写法,表现深切的相思与幽怨。
Jin Changxu was a Tang poet whose life is little recorded. During the Tang dynasty, frontier wars were frequent, and many soldiers were stationed far away in northeastern regions such as Liaoxi, leaving their wives at home in lonely longing. This poem, also known as Yizhou Ge and included in Three Hundred Tang Poems, captures the moment a spring morning oriole wakes a longing wife from her dream. Through four lines that unfold in reverse order and reveal Liaoxi only at the end, the poet expresses deep yearning and quiet resentment.
