地理方位塑造民族獨有的風之意象。華夏地處亞歐大陸東部,自東方海面吹來的東風溫潤和暖,催發草木、喚醒春光,是生機、溫情與美好的象征,成為歷代詩人反復吟詠的經典意象;以英國為代表的西方地域,大洋暖流自西而來,西風才是和煦春風,東風則裹挾大陸寒流、凜冽刺骨,故而雪萊《西風頌》以西風寄寓理想與新生。
二者風物意象完全相反,卻承載同一種對美好生機的禮贊:唐人詠東風,恰似西方人頌西風,皆是借和風抒懷、寄情、詠志。本輯精選十四首唐代詠東風傳世名篇,以兼顧信、達、雅的格律英譯打通文化隔閡,讓東方春風詩意跨越山海,實現文明互鑒。
一、《東風二章》歐陽詹
其一
東風葉時,匪沃匪飄。莫雪凝川,莫陰沍郊。朝不徯夕乃銷,東風之行地上兮。上德臨慝,匪戮匪梟。莫暴在野,莫丑在階。以踣以殲,夕不徯朝。隴西公來浚都兮。
Ode to East Wind (I)
By Ouyang Zhan (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
East wind attunes the season’s gentle tide,
No flood submerges lands, no gusts sweepwide.
It melts the ice that locks the river cold,
Dispels grey haze that cloaks the field andfold.
Ere dawn gives way to dusk, all frostsubsides,
The soft east wind across the world abides.
Sage virtue calms all malice, foul andmean,
No harsh decree, no cruel blade is seen.
All rage that plagues the plain shall fadeaway,
All wrongs that linger on the stone stepsstray.
All vice vanishes before dusk’s soft glow,
Lord of Longxi comes to Bianzhou’s shore below.

其二
東風葉時,匪鑿匪穮。莫蟄在泉,莫枯在條。宵不徯晨乃繇,東風之行地上兮。上德為政,匪食匪招。莫顧于家,莫流于遼。以飽以回,晨不徯宵。隴西公來浚都兮。
Ode to East Wind (II)
By Ouyang Zhan (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
East wind adjusts the turning of the year,
It digs no earth, nor pulls the weeds toclear.
It wakes the beasts that slumberunderground,
Revives bare boughs where withered twigswere found.
Ere midnight melts to dawn, all life takesflight,
The mild east wind roams through the world’s broad light.
The sage rules just, no feasts to lure, nocall,
He leaves his home, nor roams far lands atall.
He feeds the folk, guides wanderershomeward way,
Ere dawn surrenders to the dusk of day.
Lord of Longxi comes to Bianzhou’s bay.
二、《代春怨》劉方平
朝日殘鶯伴妾啼,開簾只見草萋萋。
庭前時有東風入,楊柳千條盡向西。
Spring Lament of a Wife
By Liu Fangping (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
At dawn weak orioles sing beside the maid,
I lift the screen and see thick green grasslaid.
Soft east wind drifts inside the yard eachhour,
All willow boughs bend westward toward thebower.

三、《赤壁》杜牧
折戟沉沙鐵未銷,自將磨洗認前朝。
東風不與周郎便,銅雀春深鎖二喬。
Red Cliff
By Du Mu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
A broken spear lies sunk in sand, its steelstill sound,
I scour and wash it, old dynasties resound.
Had east wind granted Zhou Yu (Zhou Lang)vital grace,
Two beauties trapped in Bronze SparrowTerrace’s spring embrace.
四、《無題》李商隱
相見時難別亦難,東風無力百花殘。
春蠶到死絲方盡,蠟炬成灰淚始干。
曉鏡但愁云鬢改,夜吟應覺月光寒。
蓬山此去無多路,青鳥殷勤為探看。
Untitled
By Li Shangyin (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
To meet is hard, to part brings deeperpain,
Weak east wind fades, all blossoms fall andwane.
Silkworms spin thread until their tears allend,
Candles shed tears until their ashdescends.
At dawn the glass grieves fading ravenhair,
By night your verse feels cold moon’s bitter air.
Immortal Peng Hill stands not a distantmile,
Let blue birds bear my letters, check yoursmile.

五、《北園》白居易
北園東風起,雜花次第開。
心知須臾落,一日三四來。
花下豈無酒,欲酌復遲回。
所思眇千里,誰勸我一杯?
North Garden
By Bai Juyi (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
East wind sweeps north garden, bloomsunfold in row,
I know their petals soon will drift and go.
Three or four times each day I stroll byflowers,
Wine waits beneath the boughs, yet I pausefor hours.
I hold my glass, then hesitate once more,
My beloved dwells a thousand miles afar.
No friend is near to fill and cheer my cup.
六、《一枝花》何希堯
幾樹晴葩映水開,亂紅狼籍點蒼苔。
東風留得殘枝在,為惜馀芳獨看來。
A Single Blossom
By He Xiyao (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Bright blossoms bloom by streams beneathclear sky,
Fallen red petals stain the moss hard by.
Soft east wind spares the bare boughs stillin sight,
I linger lone to cherish lingering light.

七、《落花》李山甫
落拓東風不藉春,吹開吹謝兩何因。
當時曾見笑筵主,今日自為行路塵。
顏色卻還天上女,馨香留與世間人。
明年寒食重相見,零淚無端又滿巾。
Falling Petals
By Li Shanfu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Wild east wind roams unbound by spring’s soft law,
It blooms, it fades—what cause its shifts withdraw?
Once flowers adorned the feasts where hoststook cheer,
Now they drift dust for strangers passingnear.
Their bloom returns to celestial maidenshigh,
Their sweet scent lingers for all mortaleye.
Next Cold Food Day we’ll greet the blooms once more,
Tears unbidden soak my linen kerchief flows.
八、《金谷園》杜牧
繁華事散逐香塵,流水無情草自春。
日暮東風怨啼鳥,落花猶似墜樓人。
Golden Valley Garden
By Du Mu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
All glories fade and drift with scenteddust,
Cold streams flow on, grass grows in spring’s soft trust.
At dusk east wind bears birds’ complaining cry,
Fallen blooms like maid who leapt fromtowers high.

九、《莫走柳條詞送別》白居易
南陌傷心別,東風滿把春。
莫欺楊柳弱,勸酒勝于人。
Willow Song for Farewell
By Bai Juyi (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
On southern path I grieve our parting hour,
East wind fills palms with spring’s enthralling power.
Do not disdain the willow’s slender frame,
Its boughs urge wine more tender than man’s claim.
十、《絳州鄭尚書》黃滔
旌旗日日展東風,云稼連山雪刃空。
剖竹已知垂鳳食,摘珠何必到龍宮。
諫垣虛位期飛步,翰苑含毫待紀公。
誰謂唐城諸父老,今時得見蜀文翁。
To Governor Zheng of Jiangzhou
By Huang Tao (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Banners unfurl each day beneath east wind’s bright glow,
Clouded crops climb hills, sharp swords nolonger show.
You rule the realm where phoenix bountyrests,
No need to dive for pearls beneath the sea’s dark breasts.
The court awaits your upright voiceunchained,
The writing study holds your penwell-trained.
Tang city elders speak with heartfelt glee,
They see a sage like Wenweng (wise governorof ancient Shu) in thee.

十一、《早春寄王漢陽》李白
昨夜東風入武陽,陌頭楊柳黃金色。
碧水浩浩云茫茫,美人不來空斷腸。
預拂青山一片石,與君連日醉壺觴。
Early Spring: To Wang of Hanyang
By Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Last night soft east wind swept Wuyang’s quiet ground,
Roadside willows wear gold hues all around.
Wide blue streams stretch, vast cloudsobscure the sky,
My dear friend’sabsence makes my heart sigh.
I smooth a stone beneath green mountaincrest,
To drink with you for days, wine cups atrest.
十二、《酬樂天春寄微之》元稹
鸚心明黠雀幽蒙,何事相將盡入籠。
君避海鯨驚浪里,我隨巴蟒瘴煙中。
千山塞路音書絕,兩地知春歷日同。
一樹梅花數升酒,醉尋江岸哭東風。
A Reply to Bai Juyi in Spring
By Yuan Zhen (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Parrots are shrewd, sparrows dull and slow,
Why trap them all where free winds cannotblow?
You flee rough waves where sea leviathansroam,
I tread miasma where Bashan serpents roam.
A thousand hills block every letter’s track,
Yet spring arrives for us both, day by daywe rack.
Plum blooms and wine; I stagger to theriver shore,
I weep for east wind that divides usevermore.

十三、《安西館中思長安》岑參
家在日出處,朝來起東風。
風從帝鄉來,不異家信通。
絕域地欲盡,孤城天遂窮。
彌年但走馬,終日隨飄蓬。
寂寞不得意,辛勤方在公。
Homesickness at Anxi Station
By Cen Shen (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
My hometown lies where morning sun is born,
At dawn mild east wind rises at my morn.
This wind blows from the imperial capital’s ground,
Its breath equals a letter from my hometownbound.
Far frontier lands stretch to the sky’s far end,
One lonely town beneath broad heavens bend.
Year after year I ride my horse afar,
Drift like loose thistle, now near, now far.
Lonely, unfulfilled, my fond hopes fade,
I toil each day beneath official shade.
十四、《書事》王維
自笑走紅塵,流年舊復新。
東風半夜雨,南國萬家春。
失計拋魚艇,何門化涸鱗。
是誰添歲月,老卻暗投人?
A Record of Daily Thoughts
By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
I laugh at myself, wandering mortal dust,
Years pass, old fades, new days arise intrust.
East wind brings midnight rain across theground,
South lands bloom spring for everyhousehold found.
I left my fishing boat, my plans gonewrong,
Where can this stranded fish find water’s aid strong?
Who adds swift years that steal my youthfulglow,
And wear down those who strive their way togrow?
