王勃 《滕王阁序》

豫章故郡，洪都新府；星分翼轸，地接衡庐；襟三江而带五湖，控蛮荆而引瓯越。物华天宝，龙光射牛斗之墟；人杰地灵，徐孺下陈蕃之榻。雄州雾列，俊采星驰。台隍枕夷夏之交，宾主尽东南之美。都督阎公之雅望，棨戟遥临；宇文新州之懿范，襜帷暂驻。十旬休假，胜友如云；千里逢迎，高朋满座。腾蛟起凤，孟学士之词宗；紫电清霜，王将军之武库。家君作宰，路出名区，童子何知，躬逢胜饯。

时维九月，序属三秋。潦水尽而寒潭清，烟光凝而暮山紫。俨骖騑于上路，访风景于崇阿。临帝子之长洲，得天人之旧馆。层峦耸翠，上出重霄；飞阁流丹，下临无地。鹤汀凫渚，穷岛屿之萦回；桂殿兰宫，即冈峦之体势。披绣闼，俯雕甍，山原旷其盈视，川泽纡其骇瞩。闾阎扑地，钟鸣鼎食之家；舸舰迷津，青雀黄龙之舳。云销雨霁，彩彻云衢。落霞与孤鹜齐飞，秋水共长天一色。渔舟唱晚，响穷彭蠡之滨；雁阵惊寒，声断衡阳之浦。

遥襟甫畅，逸兴遄飞。爽籁发而清风生，纤歌凝而白云遏。睢园绿竹，气凌彭泽之樽；邺水朱华，光照临川之笔。四美具，二难并；穷睇眄于中天，极娱游于暇日。天高地迥，觉宇宙之无穷；兴尽悲来，识盈虚之有数。望长安于日下，目吴会于云间；地势极而南溟深，天柱高而北辰远。关山难越，谁悲失路之人？萍水相逢，尽是他乡之客。怀帝阍而不见，奉宣室以何年？

嗟乎！时运不齐，命途多舛；冯唐易老，李广难封。屈贾谊于长沙，非无圣主；窜梁鸿于海曲，岂乏明时？所赖君子安贫，达人知命。老当益壮，宁移白首之心？穷且益坚，不坠青云之志。酌贪泉而觉爽，处涸辙以犹欢。北海虽赊，扶摇可接；东隅已逝，桑榆非晚。孟尝高洁，空余报国之情；阮籍猖狂，岂效穷途之哭？

勃三尺微命，一介书生。无路请缨，等终军之弱冠；有怀投笔，慕宗悫之长风。舍簪笏于百龄，奉晨昏于万里；非谢家之宝树，接孟氏之芳邻。他日趋庭，叨陪鲤对；今兹捧袂，喜托龙门。杨意不逢，抚凌云而自惜；钟期既遇，奏流水以何惭？

呜呼！胜地不常，盛筵难再；兰亭已矣，梓泽丘墟。临别赠言，幸承恩于伟饯；登高作赋，是所望于群公。敢竭鄙怀，恭疏短引；一言均赋，四韵俱成。

　　滕王高阁临江渚，佩玉鸣鸾罢歌舞。

　　画栋朝飞南浦云，珠帘暮卷西山雨。

　　闲云潭影日悠悠，物换星移几度秋。

　　阁中帝子今何在？槛外长江空自流。

A Tribute to King Teng's Tower
Wang Bo

Nanchang, which was the capital of Yuzhang Prefecture during the HanDynasty, now falls under the jurisdiction of Hongzhou. It straddles the borderof the influence of the Ye and Zhen constellations (1), and is adjacent to theHeng and the Lu mountains (2). The three rivers (3) enfold it like the frontpart of a garment (4) and the five lakes encircle it like a girdle (5). Itcontrols the savage Jing area (6) and connects Ou (7) and Yue (8), and itsproducts are nature’s jewels. The radiance of its legendary sword shootsdirectly upward between the constellations Niu and Dou (9). Its talented peopleare outstanding, and the spirit of intelligence pervades the place. This wasthe place where Xu Ru spent the night on his visit to Chen Fan (10). The mightyHongzhou spreads out immensely amid the fog, and the intellectual luminariesare as numerous as meteors chasing one another. It borders both the unculturedand the civilized areas, and its host and guests are all prominent people fromthe East and the South. Under the escort of guard of honor with halberds intheir hands, Governor Yan, a man of high repute, comes to attend this eventfrom afar. Prefect Yuwen (11), a model of virtue, stops his carriage on the wayto his new appointment. On this official holiday, which falls on every tenthday, good friends gather together, and a galaxy of distinguished guests fromdistant places fill the hall. Also present at the gathering are Master Meng ,whose literary grace is as imposing as a dragon soaring and a phoenix dancing,and General Wang, who has weapons as sharp as the famous swords “PurpleLightning” and “Blue Frost” in his armory. I, an ignorant boy, have the goodfortune to take part in this grand banquet on my journey to visit my father,who is a magistrate of a county.

It is September, the third month of autumn. The puddles on theground have dried up, and the water in the pond is cool and translucent. Atdusk the rays of the setting sun, condensed in the evening haze, turn themountains purple. In the stately carriages drawn by the horses we make our wayahead, visiting the attractive scenic spot in the mountains. Soon we arrive atthe river bank, where the King Teng’s Tower beckons, then we ascend the towerwhere the fairy once dwelled (12). Ranges upon ranges of green mountain rise ashigh as the sky. The red glow in the water is the reflection of the richlypainted tower that seems hovering in the air. From its heights no land isvisible. Circling around are the wild ducks on the sand-bars. Cassia-wood courtsand magnolia-wood halls rise and fall like mountain ranges. Pushing open thedoor carved with decorative patterns, I look down upon endless waves ofbrightly tinted roof tiles, each elaborately engraved with lovely etchings. Apanorama of mountains and plains stretches beneath me, and I am mesmerized bythe mighty scene of the winding rivers and big lakes. In the city there arehouses everywhere. There are families of great affluence, whose meals areserved with many cooking tripods of food and to the accompaniment of music.Massive ships and fierce war vessels are densely moored at the ports. On thesterns of many ships are carved designs of blue birds and brown dragons. Therain has just let up and the rainbow has vanished. The sunlight shoots throughthe rosy clouds, and the autumn water is merged with the boundless sky into onehue. The fishermen can be heard singing the evening songs, their voicesdrifting as far as the banks of the Poyang Lake. Even the wild geese feel thechill of dusk settling upon them, and they cry all the way while flyingsouthward, disappearing around the south bend of the Heng Mountain.
