Liu Yuxi: At the Temple of Liu Bei ~ 刘禹锡·《蜀先主庙》 with English Translations
《蜀先主庙》是唐代诗人刘禹锡创作的一首五言律诗,被选人《全唐诗》中。蜀先主庙原建在夔州(治所在今重庆市奉节县东)白帝山上。刘禹锡曾于唐穆宗长庆元年(821年)到四年(824年)间任夔州刺史,此诗当作于此时。此诗意在赞誉英雄,鄙薄庸碌,赞扬了刘备的功业,慨叹蜀汉事业后继非人,总结蜀汉亡国的历史教训。首联写先主庙堂威势逼人,颔联赞刘备的英雄业绩,颈联为刘备功业未成、嗣子不肖而叹息,尾联感叹后主亡国。全诗措词精警凝炼,对仗警辟工整,风格沉着超迈,前半写功德,后半写衰败,以形象垂戒当世。 刘禹锡·《蜀先主庙》 天地英雄气,千秋尚凛然。 势分三足鼎,业复五铢钱。 得相能开国,生儿不象贤。 凄凉蜀故妓,来舞魏宫前。 At the Temple of Liu Bei Liu Yuxi A hero he was!
