秋登宣城谢朓北楼
江城如画里，
山晚望晴空。
两水夹明镜，
双桥落彩虹。
人烟寒橘柚，
秋色老梧桐。
谁念北楼上，
临风怀谢公。
The river town looks like a painted scene;
At dusk I gaze upon the sky serene.
Two streams embrace a mirror bright and clear;
Twin bridges fall like rainbows far and near.
Smoke from the houses chills the orange trees;
Autumn has aged the plane trees in the breeze.
Who remembers me on the northern tower high,
Facing the wind, for Xie Gong I sigh.
逐句注释
江城如画里，
江城指宣城，因城临水而得名。如画里，用比喻总写宣城风景美如画卷，为全诗奠定清丽基调。
The river town refers to Xuancheng, named for its waterside setting. Like a painted scene is a simile that gives a panoramic impression of the town's picturesque beauty.
山晚望晴空。
山晚，傍晚山间；望晴空，登楼远眺秋日晴空。此句点明时间、地点与视角，由总写转入具体登临。
Mountain dusk and gazing at the clear sky indicate the time, place, and viewpoint. The line moves from a general view to the specific act of climbing and looking out.
两水夹明镜，
两水指宛溪、句溪；明镜比喻清澈平静的水面。夹字使两条溪流仿佛夹护着一面明镜，化静为动。
The two waters are the Wan and Ju streams; bright mirrors is a metaphor for their clear, calm surfaces. The word clasp makes the streams seem to hold a mirror between them.
双桥落彩虹，
双桥指宛溪上的凤凰桥与济川桥；彩虹比喻桥影倒映水中。落字写出桥影如虹坠入清流的动态美。
The twin bridges are Phoenix Bridge and Jichuan Bridge over the Wan Stream; rainbow is a metaphor for their reflections in the water. The word fall captures the dynamic beauty of bridge shadows like rainbows descending.
人烟寒橘柚，
人烟，指炊烟与人家；寒橘柚，意为秋寒使橘柚带上寒意。寒字为形容词使动用法，兼有通感效果，写出秋日萧瑟。
Smoke from homes refers to village life; chills the orange trees means autumn cold lends a chill to the citrus. The causative use of chill, with synesthetic effect, evokes autumnal desolation.
秋色老梧桐，
老梧桐，意为秋色使梧桐苍老。老字为使动用法，将无形秋色化为催老之力，与上句寒字对举，渲染迟暮之感。
Autumn colors age the plane trees. The word age is causative, turning intangible autumn into a force that brings aging. Paired with the previous line's chill, it deepens a sense of lateness and decline.
谁念北楼上，
谁念，以反问写出无人理解、知音难遇的孤独；北楼即谢朓北楼，又称谢公楼、叠嶂楼，是宣城名胜。
Who remembers is a rhetorical question expressing loneliness and the scarcity of true understanding. The northern tower is Xie Tiao's North Tower, also called Xie Gong Tower, a famous site in Xuancheng.
临风怀谢公。
临风，迎风而立；谢公指南齐诗人谢朓，曾任宣城太守。李白一生钦慕谢朓，此处由景入情，怀古兼自伤身世。
Facing the wind, standing against the breeze; Xie Gong is Xie Tiao, the Southern Qi poet and former governor of Xuancheng. Li Bai admired him throughout his life. The line turns from scenery to emotion, mingling historical remembrance with personal lament.
今日赏析
此诗约作于唐玄宗天宝十二载（753）前后，李白游历宣城时。宣城有谢朓北楼，为南齐诗人谢朓任宣城太守时所建。谢朓诗风清丽，李白对其极为钦慕。秋日登楼远眺，宣城山水如画，而诗人触景生情，既怀想谢朓，也暗含自身漂泊不遇、知音难逢的感慨。
This poem was likely written around 753 CE, during Li Bai's travels in Xuancheng. The North Tower there was associated with Xie Tiao, a Southern Qi poet who had served as governor of Xuancheng. Li Bai deeply admired Xie Tiao's fresh and elegant style. Climbing the tower on an autumn day, he saw the town's picturesque rivers and bridges, and the scene stirred both remembrance of Xie Tiao and a hidden lament over his own wandering life and lack of true understanding.
