《浣溪沙·紅日已高三丈透》是五代十國時期南唐后主李煜前期的作品,詞中主要描寫宮中聲色豪奢、風情旖旎的奢華的生活場景。白天里舉行的一場宮廷舞會,細致地刻畫宮廷舞臺富麗堂皇的布置,生動地寫舞女們輕盈靈動的舞步和嫵媚婉轉(zhuǎn)的姿態(tài)。表現(xiàn)詞人的得意心情,而客觀效果卻赤裸裸地暴露了南唐小朝庭的腐朽沒落。
李煜 《浣溪紗·紅日已高三丈透》
紅日已高三丈透,
金爐次第添香獸,
紅錦地衣隨步皺。
佳人舞點金釵溜,
酒惡時拈花蕊嗅,
別殿遙聞簫鼓奏。
Tune: "Silk-washing Stream"
Li Yu
Above the thirty-foot-high flagpole shines the sun;
Incense is added to gold burners one by one;
Red carpets wrinkle as each dancing step is done.
Fair dancers let gold hairpins drop with rhythm fleet;
Drunk, maidens oft inhale the smell of flowers sweet;
From hall to hall fute's heard to play and drum to beat.
