By means of rich imagery and skillful similes, it expresses love of one&#8217;s country and the sadness of separation. It touches upon various historical themes intermingled with legends and myths, and depicts, directly or indirectly, the social conditions of that time and the complex destinies of the city states of ancient China. The conflict between the individual and the ruling group is repeatedly described, while at the same time the poet affirms his determination to fight for justice. This passionate desire to save his country, and this love for the people, account for the poem&#8217;s splendor and immortality.<\/p>\n<p>\u79bb\u9a9a\uff1a\u53e4\u7434\u66f2\uff0c\u665a\u5510\u9648\u5eb7\u58eb\u6839\u636e\u5c48\u539f\u540c\u540d\u6292\u60c5\u957f\u8bd7\u800c\u4f5c\u3002\u66f2\u8c31\u6700\u65e9\u89c1\u4e8e\u300a\u795e\u5947\u79d8\u8c31\u300b\u3002\u539f\u66f2\u4e3a\u4e5d\u6bb5\uff0c\u540e\u4eba\u884d\u4e3a\u5341\u516b\u6bb5\u3002\u6b64\u66f2\u6292\u53d1\u4e86\u4f1f\u5927\u7231\u56fd\u8bd7\u4eba\u5c48\u539f\u60e8\u906d\u5978\u8c17\u540e\u7684\u5fe7\u90c1\u548c\u82e6\u95f7\uff0c\u4ee5\u53ca\u601d\u4e61\u7231\u56fd\u7684\u5d07\u9ad8\u611f\u60c5\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Length: 10&#8217;26&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Play with HTML 5 Player, no flash required, no software required.<\/h4>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-620-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/chinesemusicworld.com\/mp3lib\/Guqin-li-sao-The-Lament.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/chinesemusicworld.com\/mp3lib\/Guqin-li-sao-The-Lament.mp3\">http:\/\/chinesemusicworld.com\/mp3lib\/Guqin-li-sao-The-Lament.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>If you browser does not support HTML 5, you may use flash player below.

\/>\nIllustrious name my royal sire hath found.<br \/>\nWhen Sirius did in spring its light display,<br \/>\nA child was born, and Tiger marked the day.<br \/>\nWhen first upon my face my lord&#8217;s eye glanced,<br \/>\nFor me auspicious names he straight advanced,<br \/>\nDenoting that in me Heaven&#8217;s marks divine<br \/>\nShould with the virtues of the earth combine.<br \/>\nWith lavished innate qualities indued,<br \/>\nBy art and skill my talents I renewed;<br \/>\nAngelic herbs and sweet selineas too,<br \/>\nAnd orchids late that by the water grew,<br \/>\nI wove for ornament; till creeping Time,<br \/>\nLike water flowing, stole away my prime.<br \/>\nMagnolias of the glade I plucked at dawn,<br \/>\nAt eve beside the stream took winter-thorn.<br \/>\nWithout delay the sun and moon sped fast,<br \/>\nIn swift succession spring and autumn passed;<br \/>\nThe fallen flowers lay scattered on the ground,<br \/>\nThe dusk might fall before my dream was found.<\/p>\n<p>Had I not loved my prime and spurned the vile,<br \/>\nWhy should I not have changed my former style?<br \/>\nMy chariot drawn by steeds of race divine<br \/>\nI urged; to guide the king my sole design.<\/p>\n<p>Three ancient kings there were so pure and true<br \/>\nThat round them every fragrant flower grew;<br \/>\nCassia and pepper of the mountain-side<br \/>\nWith melilotus white in clusters vied.<br \/>\nTwo monarchs then, who high renown received,<br \/>\nFollowed the kingly way, their goal achieved.<br \/>\nTwo princes proud by lust their reign abused,<br \/>\nSought easier path, and their own steps confused.<br \/>\nThe faction for illict pleasure longed;<br \/>\nDreadful their way where hidden perils thronged.<br \/>\nDanger against myself could not appal,<br \/>\nBut feared I lest my sovereign&#8217;s sceptre fall.<\/p>\n<p>Forward and back I hastened in my quest,<br \/>\nFollowed the former kings, and took no rest.<br \/>\nThe prince my true integrity defamed,<br \/>\nGave ear to slander, high his anger flamed;<br \/>\nIntegrity I knew could not avail,<br \/>\nYet still endured; my lord I would not fail.<br \/>\nCelestial spheres my witness be on high,<br \/>\nI strove but for his sacred majesty.<br \/>\nTwas first to me he gave his plighted word,<br \/>\nBut soon repenting other counsel heard.<br \/>\nFor me departure could arouse no pain;<br \/>\nI grieved to see his royal purpose vain.<\/p>\n<p>Nine fields of orchids at one time I grew,<br \/>\nFor melilot a hundred acres too,<br \/>\nAnd fifty acres for the azalea bright,<br \/>\nThe rumex fragrant and the lichen white.<br \/>\nI longed to see them yielding blossoms rare,<br \/>\nAnd thought in season due the spoil to share.<br \/>\nI did not grieve to see them die away,<br \/>\nBut grieved because midst weeds they did decay.<\/p>\n<p>Insatiable in lust and greediness<br \/>\nThe faction strove, and tired not of excess;<br \/>\nThemselves condoning, others they&#8217;d decry,<br \/>\nAnd steep their hearts in envious jealousy.<\/p>\n<p>Insatiably they seized what they desired,<br \/>\nIt was not that to which my heart aspired.<br \/>\nAs old age unrelenting hurried near,<br \/>\nLest my fair name should fail was all my fear.<br \/>\nDew from magnolia leaves I drank at dawn,<br \/>\nAt eve for food were aster petals borne;<br \/>\nAnd loving thus the simple and the fair,<br \/>\nHow should I for my sallow features care?<br \/>\nWith gathered vines I strung valeria white,<br \/>\nAnd mixed with blue wistaria petals bright,<br \/>\nAnd melilotus matched with cassia sweet,<br \/>\nWith ivy green and tendrils long to meet.<br \/>\nLife I adapted to the ancient way,<br \/>\nLeaving the manners of the present day;<br \/>\nThus unconforming to the modern age,<br \/>\nThe path I followed of a bygone sage.<\/p>\n<p>Long did I sigh and wipe away my tears,<br \/>\nTo see my people bowed by griefs and fears.<br \/>\nThough I my gifts enhanced and curbed my pride,<br \/>\nAt morn they&#8217;d mock me, would at eve deride;<br \/>\nFirst cursed that I angelica should wear,<br \/>\nThen cursed me for my melilotus fair.<br \/>\nBut since my heart did love such purity,<br \/>\nI&#8217;d not regret a thousand deaths to die.<\/p>\n<p>I marvel at the folly of the king,<br \/>\nSo heedless of his people&#8217;s suffering.<br \/>\nThey envied me my mothlike eyebrows fine,<br \/>\nAnd so my name his damsels did malign.<br \/>\nTruly to craft alone their praise they paid,<br \/>\nThe square in measuring they disobeyed;<br \/>\nThe use of common rules they held debased;<br \/>\nWith confidence their crooked lines they traced.<\/p>\n<p>In sadness plunged and sunk in deepest gloom,<br \/>\nAlone I drove on to my dreary doom.<br \/>\nIn exile rather would I meet my end,<br \/>\nThan to the baseness of their ways descend.<br \/>\nRemote the eagle spurns the common range,<br \/>\nNor deigns since time began its way to change;<br \/>\nA circle fits not with a square design;<br \/>\nTheir different ways could not be merged with mine.<br \/>\nYet still my heart I checked and curbed my pride,<br \/>\nTheir blame endured and their reproach beside.<br \/>\nTo die for righteousness alone I sought,<br \/>\nFor this was what the ancient sages taught.<\/p>\n<p>I failed my former errors to discern;<br \/>\nI tarried long, but now I would return.<br \/>\nMy steeds I wheeled back to their former way,<br \/>\nLest all too long down the wrong path I stray.<br \/>\nOn orchid-covered bank I loosed my steed,<br \/>\nAnd let him gallop by the flow&#8217;ry mead<br \/>\nAt will.

a golden bough I sought<br \/>\nTo brush the sun, and tarred there in sport.<br \/>\nThe pale moon&#8217;s charioteer I then bade lead,<br \/>\nThe master of the winds swiftly succeed;<br \/>\nBefore, the royal blue bird cleared the way;<br \/>\nThe lord of thunder urged me to delay.<br \/>\nI bade the phoenix scan the heaven wide;<br \/>\nBut vainly day and night its course it tried;<br \/>\nThe gathering whirlwinds drove it from my sight,<br \/>\nRushing with lowering clouds to check my flight;<br \/>\nSifting and merging in the firmament,<br \/>\nAbove, below, in various hues they went.<\/p>\n<p>The gate-keeper of heaven I bade give place,<br \/>\nBut leaning on his door he scanned my face;<br \/>\nThe day grew dark, and now was nearly spent;<br \/>\nIdly my orchids into wreaths I bent.<br \/>\nThe virtuous and the vile in darkness merged;<br \/>\nThey veiled my virtue, by their envy urged.<br \/>\nAt dawn the waters white I left behind;<br \/>\nMy steed stayed by the portals of the wind;<br \/>\nYet, gazing back, a bitter grief I felt<br \/>\nThat in the lofty crag no damsel dwelt.<\/p>\n<p>I wandered eastward to the palace green,<br \/>\nAnd pendents sought where jasper boughs were seen,<br \/>\nAnd vowed that they, before their splendour fade,<br \/>\nAs gift should go to grace the loveliest maid.<br \/>\nThe lord of clouds I then bade mount the sky<br \/>\nTo seek the steam where once the nymph did lie;<br \/>\nAs pledge I gave my belt of splendid sheen,<br \/>\nMy councillor appointed go-between.<br \/>\nFleeting and wilful like capricious cloud,<br \/>\nHer obstinacy swift no change allowed.<br \/>\nAt dusk retired she to the crag withdrawn,<br \/>\nHer hair beside the stream she washed at dawn.<br \/>\nExulting in her beauty and her pride,<br \/>\nPleasure she worshipped, and no whim denied;<br \/>\nSo fair of form, so careless of all grace,<br \/>\nI turned to take another in her place.<\/p>\n<p>To earth&#8217;s extremities I sought my bride,<br \/>\nAnd urged my train through all the heaven wide.<br \/>\nUpon a lofty crag of jasper green<br \/>\nThe beauteous princess of the west was seen.<br \/>\nThe falcon then I bade entreat the maid,<br \/>\nBut he, demurring, would my course dissuade;<br \/>\nThe turtle-dove cooed soft and off did fly,<br \/>\nBut I mistrusted his frivolity.<br \/>\nLike whelp in doubt, like timid fox in fear,<br \/>\nI wished to go, but wandered ever near.<br \/>\nWith nuptial gifts the phoenix swiftly went;<br \/>\nI feared the prince had won her ere I sent.<br \/>\nI longed to travel far, yet with no bourn,<br \/>\nI could but wander aimless and forlorn.<br \/>\nBefore the young king was in marriage bound,<br \/>\nThe royal sisters twain might still be found;<br \/>\nMy suit was unauspicious at the best;<br \/>\nI knew I had small hope in my request.<\/p>\n<p>The world is dark, and envious of my grace;<br \/>\nThey veil my virture and the evil praise.<br \/>\nThy chamber dark lies in recesses deep,<br \/>\nSagacious prince, risest thou not from sleep?<br \/>\nMy zeal unknown the prince would not descry;<br \/>\nHow could I bear this harsh eternity?<\/p>\n<p>With mistletoe and herbs of magic worth,<br \/>\nI urged the witch the future to show forth.<br \/>\n&#8220;If two attain perfection they must meet,<br \/>\nBut who is there that would thy virtue greet?<br \/>\nFar the nine continents their realm display;<br \/>\nWhy here to seek thy bride doth thou delay?<br \/>\nAway!&#8221;
