自古英雄爱美人，无论是邻家窈窕小女，还是倾国倾城的绝代风华，唐诗以美女为歌咏对象的名作，数不胜数。西施浣纱、昭君出塞、玉环风华，绝代佳人镌刻千古风华。但是，那时貂蝉还未出现在文学作品中，所以，尚未有“四大美女”之说。而唐代文人以诗寄情，俯仰世间各色佳人，落笔成无数温婉诗篇。本次甄选十六首咏美唐诗助力文化出海，品读字里行间的中式审美，借诗文留存古典女子神韵，向外传递独有的东方婉约美学。

A Lovely Maiden
By Wu Ping (Tang Dynasty)

Autumn Grief in the Western Palace
By Wang Cháng líng (Tang Dynasty)

4、《咏苎萝山》
（唐）李白
西施越溪女，出自苎萝山。

Ode to Mount Zhuluo
By Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
A Yue maid dwelt beside the stream below,
On Zhuluo Hill her early days did know.
Her grace outshines all beauties throughthe ages;
Lotus hangs head before her jade-likefaces.
She rinsed fine silk amid the crystal tide,
At one with waves in tranquil joy andpride.
Her white teeth seldom parted for a word,
She mused alone where floating clouds wereheard.
Lord Goujian called for her of peerlessgrace,
She stepped through Wu’s gate with a gentle face.
Conveyed to Guanwa Palace tall and grand,
Her lofty state no common folk could stand.
She brought King Fuchai’s realm to final fall,
And never came back through the ages all.

艳色天下重，西施宁久微。
朝仍越溪女，暮作吴宫妃。
贱日岂殊众，贵来方悟稀。

君宠益娇态，君怜无是非。
当时浣纱伴，莫得同车归。
持谢邻家子，效颦安可希。
赏析：同为西施，贫贱时无人识，尊贵后万般稀罕，以地位变迁讽喻世态炎凉与效颦可笑。
Song of Xi Shi
By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
All men hold beauty high throughout theland;
How could Xi Shi live lowly and stand?
At dawn she rinsed silk by Yue’s quiet stream,
At dusk a royal bride in Wu’s supreme.
When poor, she looked no different from therest;
When noble, her rare charm stood manifest.
She lets her maids apply the fragrantpowder,
And dress her up in robes of silk andflower.
The monarch’s lovemakes her more mild and sweet,
His fond indulgence blurs all right andmeet.
Her former mates who shared the stream’s old scene,
Could not ride with her in the royal sheen.
Tell then the maid who copies her sadfrown:
Such grace can never be attained by clown.

Xi Shi

Why lay Wu’s ruinon Xi Shi’s fair sway?
If she alone could make the Wu realm fall,

群山万壑赴荆门，生长明妃尚有村。

by Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)

Where stands the village of the Consortdeep.

Two Poems on Wang Zhaojun (I)
by Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
The Han moon glides o’er Qin’s old land below,
Its rays caress the fair Consort in woe.
Past Jade Gate she fared to distant land,
And never came back to her native strand.
The Han moon rises from the eastern tide,
Yet she, wed west, no homeward path couldbide.
On Yanzhi Hills, cold snow blooms all yearlong,
Her fair brows fade amid the desert throng.
For lack of gold, her true looks weredisguised,
Her green tomb stirs the world to mourn andsighs.

By Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)

Bright smiles lie buried in the desertmart.

附：西汉《李延年歌》

一顾倾人城，再顾倾人国。

Song of Li Yannian (Western Han Dynasty)
Li Yannian / Tr. Wang Yongli
In northern lands there dwells a lady fair,
Peerless, aloof, alone she takes her air.

A second gaze lays waste a kingdom’s crown.
Know well whole realms and towns may sinkand flee;
Such peerless maid can ne’er be found by thee.
