294. 金陵图（韦庄）

江雨霏霏江草齐，六朝如梦鸟空啼。
现代汉语译文
江面上细雨纷纷，江边的野草长得齐整；六朝的繁华恍如一梦，只有鸟儿在空自啼叫。
“霏霏”写雨细而密；“江草齐”写春草繁茂、铺满江岸。“六朝”指先后在建康（金陵）建都的六个朝代。“如梦”写其兴亡之速、如今只余陈迹；“鸟空啼”的“空”字，说鸟依旧啼叫，却再无人事可应。前两句已把兴亡之感压在景里。（此诗一题《台城》；数据集所收同名《金陵图》为另一首，本首以通行本此篇为准。）

无情最是台城柳，依旧烟笼十里堤。
现代汉语译文
最无情的要数台城边的柳树了；它们依旧像从前一样，在烟雾里笼罩着十里长堤。
“台城”是六朝宫城所在，故址在今南京。“无情”是诗人怪柳：朝代都已改换，柳却年年照旧发绿。“依旧”与上句的“如梦”对照——人事全非，草木如故。“烟笼十里堤”写柳堤绵延、烟色迷蒙，把荒凉写得好看，也更显无情。

用草木的无情写人的有情 · Heartless Plants, a Feeling Heart
六朝兴亡本是沉重的事，诗里却不见凭吊的哭诉。诗人只说江雨、江草、鸟啼，再怪柳树无情。柳树本无所谓有情无情，诗人偏偏怨它“依旧”青青——怨得越无理，越见他对金陵旧事的不能忘怀。这正是韦庄怀古诗的写法。
The rise and fall of the Six Dynasties is heavy matter, yet the poem holds no grieving lament. The poet speaks only of river rain, river grass, birds crying, and then blames the willow for being heartless. A willow has no heart either way, yet the poet resents its still being green—the more unreasonable the complaint, the more it shows he cannot forget old Jinling. This is how Wei Zhuang writes poems on the past.
“空”与“依旧” · "In Vain" and "Still"
“鸟空啼”的“空”，是啼也无用，无人来听；“依旧烟笼”的“依旧”，是柳不管人间换了多少朝代，照旧笼着长堤。一个“空”写尽人事的消散，一个“依旧”写尽自然的冷漠，两句一对照，六朝如梦的怅惘便落了地。
The in vain of the birds cry in vain means the crying is useless, with no one to hear; the still of still it wraps in mist means the willow, no matter how many dynasties pass, goes on wrapping the embankment. One word, in vain, exhausts the dissolving of human affairs; the other, still, exhausts nature's indifference. Set the two together, and the wistfulness of the Six Dynasties as a dream comes to rest.
