《哥舒歌》是唐朝西部邊民對(duì)哥舒翰赫赫戰(zhàn)功的頌歌。此詩(shī)以形象的比喻、明快的言辭成功塑造了一個(gè)威震一方的民族英雄形象。全詩(shī)以北斗起興,喻哥舒翰的功高;以胡人“至今”“不敢”南下牧馬,喻哥舒翰功勞的影響深遠(yuǎn)。其內(nèi)容平淡素雅,音節(jié)鏗鏘和順,既有民歌的自然流暢,又不失五言詩(shī)的典雅逸秀。
《哥舒歌》 無(wú)名氏
北斗七星高,哥舒夜帶刀。
至今窺牧馬,不敢過(guò)臨洮。
The General Geshu

When the seven stars of the Plough appear at their height,
General Geshu still brings his sword with him at night.
Up to now no barbarian horsemen dare ride over
Our north-western city Lintao to spoil and plunder.
