《促織》是北宋著名的思想家、政治家、文學(xué)家、改革家王安石的一首七言絕句。此詩不明作年。有說作于在京任群牧司判官或提點開封府界諸縣鎮(zhèn)公事期間,約與《出郊》同時。這是一首詠物詩。借詠促織,寄寓對社會不公的批判。
《促織》 王安石
金屏翠幔與秋宜,得此年年醉不知。
只向貧家促機杼,幾家能有一絇絲?
The Weaver-Urger
Wang Anshi
In autumn golden screens and emerald curtains are pleasing to the eye;
People may indulge in them every year without giving any thought.
They know only of urging the poor to work faster at the loom,
Yet how many weavers can afford a single skein of silk thread?
