李贺（790年—816年），字长吉，河南府福昌县昌谷乡（今属河南省宜阳县）人，七岁能辞章，十五岁即以乐府诗作名动京师。元和四年（809年）谒见韩愈获赏识，即兴作《高轩过》名扬京洛。元和五年（810年）因父名“晋肃”与“进士”犯嫌名，被攻讦不得参加进士试，次年以父荫授从九品奉礼郎。元和九年（814年）辞官。元和十一年（816年）病逝，终年二十七岁。
李贺的报国诗，在中国诗歌史上占有独特而崇高的地位。他以病弱之躯托举凌云之志，以冷峭之笔书写热血之魂。在唐代边塞诗的壮阔画卷中，李贺开辟了一条诡谲瑰丽的路径：他既能如《雁门太守行》般以“黑云压城城欲摧”的奇特意象勾勒战场肃杀、“男儿何不带吴钩，收取关山五十州。”发出振聋发聩的叩问，又能如《浩歌》般发出“世上英雄本无主”“二十男儿那刺促”的慷慨浩叹。他将收复山河的壮志熔铸于金戈铁马的意象之中，让报国情怀在幽冥冷艳的诗境里绽放出奇异的光彩。
本辑精选李贺咏沙场、兵器、战马、怀古咏史之作16首，集中呈现这位天才诗人炽烈而奇崛的家国情怀。
1. 雁门太守行
（唐・李贺）
黑云压城城欲摧，甲光向日金鳞开。
角声满天秋色里，塞上燕脂凝夜紫。
半卷红旗临易水，霜重鼓寒声不起。
报君黄金台上意，提携玉龙为君死。
勘校：
塞上燕脂凝夜紫，塞上，一作“塞土”。
Song of Yanmen Prefect’s Army
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Black clouds oppress the walls till they threaten toyield and rack,
Sun strikes the mail—gold scales yawn wide, flashingback.
Horns wail through autumn’s vault, a wild and brazenroar;
On the frontier rouge congeals to violet dusk, darkgore.
Half furled red flags draw near the Yi Stream’s shore,
Frost chills the drums, their faint beats rise no more.
To answer the sovereign’s grace from the Golden Terracehigh,
We draw our jade-dragon swords—and for our lord we die.
2. 南园十三首·其五
（唐・李贺）
男儿何不带吴钩，收取关山五十州。
请君暂上凌烟阁，若个书生万户侯。
South Garden, Thirteen Poems V
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Why bear no hook-blade, valiant man,
To recapture fifty frontier lands we command?
Step up the Lingyan Hall and see,
What scholar wins marquis’s degree?
3.《南园十三首・其六》
（唐・李贺）
寻章摘句老雕虫，晓月当帘挂玉弓。
不见年年辽海上，文章何处哭秋风。
South Garden, Thirteen Poems VI
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Iwaste my years on trivial wordcraft’s toil,
Crescentmoon hangs like jade bow's polished foil.
Seeyear on year war rages on Liaodong’s shore—
Wherecan my mournful verse its grief outroar?
4. 马诗二十三首·其五
（唐・李贺）
大漠沙如雪，燕山月似钩。
何当金络脑，快走踏清秋。
Ode to Horses, Twenty-Three Poems V
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Desertsand glimmers like white snow,
Yan’smoon bends as a hook below.
Whengolden reins my steed shall bear,
I’llgallop through crisp autumn air.
5.公莫舞歌
（唐・李贺）
方花古础排九楹，刺豹淋血盛银罂。
华筵鼓吹无桐竹，长刀直立割鸣筝。
横楣粗锦生红纬，日炙锦嫣王未醉。
腰下三看宝玦光，项庄掉箾栏前起。
材官小臣公莫舞，座上真人赤龙子。
芒砀云瑞抱天回，咸阳王气清如水。
铁枢铁楗重束关，大旗五丈撞双镮。
汉王今日颁秦印，绝膑刳肠臣不论。
Ballad of "Cease the Sword Dance"
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Nine pillars stand on carved stone base,
Leopard blood fills silver vase.
Feast music lacks the lute’s soft tone,
Sharp blades stand tall, split zither’s moan.
Thick crimson silk wraps beam and trunk,
Sun dyes the cloth; the king’s not drunk.
He glances thrice his jade ring bright,
Xiang Zhuang draws blade to start the fight.
Guards cry: “Cease dance, let strife subside!”
The true red dragon sits beside.
Mangdang auspicious clouds roll wide,
Xianyang’s royal aura clear as tide.
Iron locks bar every pass and gate,
Five-yard flags clang on iron plate.
Han Lord takes Qin’s seal in his hand,
No care for foes’ tormented end.
6. 长歌续短歌
（唐・李贺）
长歌破衣襟，短歌断白发。
秦王不可见，旦夕成内热。
渴饮壶中酒，饥拔陇头粟。
凄凄四月阑，千里一时绿。
夜峰何离离，明月落石底。
徘徊沿石寻，照出高峰外。
不得与之游，歌成鬓先改。
Sequel of Long and Short Ballads
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Long songs tear my worn robe apart,
Short verses break white hairs of heart.
No Qin King now to meet my gaze,
Day and night burns my inner haze.
I drink wine when my throat grows dry,
Pluck field grain when my hunger nigh.
Late April breathes a mournful sigh,
A thousand miles turn green on high.
Night peaks stretch far in shadow spread,
Bright moon sinks low beneath stone bed.
I pace the rocks her glow to chase,
Her light spills o’er the mountain face.
I cannot wander with her ray;
Ere song is done, my temples gray.
7.黄家洞
（唐・李贺）
雀步蹙沙声促促，四尺角弓青石镞。
黑幡三点铜鼓鸣，高作猿啼摇箭箙。
彩巾缠跤幅半斜，溪头簇队映葛花。
山潭晚雾吟白鼍，竹蛇飞蠹射金沙。
闲驱竹马缓归家，官军自杀容州槎。
The Huang Tribal Grotto
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Sparrow-quick steps stamp sand’s thin sheet,
Four-foot horn bows with stone arrow heads meet.
Black flags wave thrice, bronze drums resound,
They cry like apes, shake quiver round.
Color scarves twist legs aslant and loose,
By stream blooms dye the clustered troops.
Late mist o’er pools white crocodiles wail,
Bamboo worms shoot sand as serpents trail.
They ride bamboo steeds home at slow pace,
But troops slaughter each other in Rongzhou's space.
8.梁台古愁
（唐・李贺）
梁王台沼空中立，天河之水夜飞入。
台前斗玉作蛟龙，绿粉扫天愁露湿。
撞钟饮酒行射天，金虎蹙裘喷血斑。
朝朝暮暮愁海翻，长绳系日乐当年。
芙蓉凝红得秋色，兰脸别春啼脉脉。
芦洲客雁报春来，寥落野篁秋漫白。
Ancient Sorrow of Liang King’s Terrace
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
King Liang’s terraces rise mid-air,
Milky Way floods the pools at night fair.
Jade piles carve dragons before the gate,
Green dust sweeps sky, dew brings dole to the late.
They strike bells, drink wine, shoot heaven high,
Gold tiger furs bear blood-stained dye.
Each dawn and dusk they fear seas overturn,
Bind sun with long ropes, old joys to earn.
Lotus red fades in autumn’s breath,
Orchids weep, bereft of spring’s warm wreath.
Wild geese on reed isles bring spring’s faint sign,
Withered reeds whiten all autumn line.
9. 秦王饮酒
（唐・李贺）
秦王骑虎游八极，剑光照空天自碧。
羲和敲日玻璃声，劫灰飞尽古今平。
龙头泻酒邀酒星，金槽琵琶夜枨枨。
洞庭雨脚来吹笙，酒酣喝月使倒行。
银云栉栉瑶殿明，宫门掌事报一更。
花楼玉凤声娇狞，海绡红文香浅清，
黄鹅跌舞千年觥。
仙人烛树蜡烟轻，清琴醉眼泪泓泓。
The King of Qin’s Wine Feast
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Qin King rides tiger, roams all eight wide zones,
Sword light floods sky, heaven glows pale blue tones.
Xi He strikes sun, glass-like chime rings clear,
All age-old ash blown flat, past and present sheer.
Dragon spout pours wine, invite wine stars to stay,
Golden pipa hums through night till break of day.
Dongting rain gusts blow sheng’s soft cry,
Drunk, he shouts to moon: “Reverse your course on high!”
Silver clouds pile thick, jade palace blazes bright,
Palace steward calls: “The first night watch’s light.”
Flower tower phoenix sings sweet eerie strain,
Red-patterned sea silk red brocade breathes faintperfume’s gain,
Yellow swans dance, hold thousand-year wine cup high.
Immortal candle trees burn thin smoke nigh,
Clear zither played, drunk tears well up in eye.
10. 春坊正字剑子歌
（唐・李贺）
先辈匣中三尺水，曾入吴潭斩龙子。
隙月斜明刮露寒，练带平铺吹不起。
蛟胎皮老蒺藜刺，鸊鹈淬花白鹇尾。
直是荆轲一片心，莫教照见春坊字。
挼丝团金悬簏簌，神光欲截蓝田玉。
提出西方白帝惊，嗷嗷鬼母秋郊哭。
勘校：“挼”通“捼”，古今异体通用。
Sword Song of the Secretary of Spring Palace
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
In elder's sheath lies three-foot water blade,
Once dived Wu pond, a flood dragon's life it laid.
Slant moon peeks through gaps, frost glints sharp andcold
Silk ribbon flat spread, no wind its folds control.
Sharkskin scabbard rough, thorns bristle hard and raw,
Grebe oil quenches blade, white silver plumes draw.
It holds the loyal heart of Jing Ke of old,
Let not Spring Palace's script its gleam behold
Twisted silk and gold tassels sway soft and slow,
Divine glow would slice jade from Lantian’s glow.
Draw forth the blade, West White God flees in fright,
Ghost mother wails loud on autumn’s wild height.
11. 开愁歌
（唐・李贺）
秋风吹地百草干，华容碧影生晚寒。
我当二十不得意，一心愁谢如枯兰。
衣如飞鹑马如狗，临歧击剑生铜吼。
旗亭下马解秋衣，请贳宜阳一壶酒。
壶中唤天云不开，白昼万里闲凄迷。
主人劝我养心骨，莫受俗物相填豗。
Song to Banish Sorrow
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Autumn wind sweeps ground, all grassparched and dry,
Flower shadows fade, late cold creeps nigh.
Scarce twenty years, my fate’s all unfulfilled,
My heart withers, like withered orchidchilled.
Tattered clothes, horse gaunt as stray curhound,
At crossroads strike sword, bronze roarsits sound.
Dismount at tavern, shed autumn robe wornthin,
Beg credit for a jar of Yiyang wine within.
I cry to heaven from the wine jar’s deep,
Bright day stretches, ten thousand miles inhazy keep.
Host bids me fortify my heart and mind,
Let vulgar troubles not my spirit bind.
12.金铜仙人辞汉歌
（唐・李贺）
魏明帝青龙元年八月，诏宫官牵车西取汉孝武捧露盘仙人，欲立置前殿。宫官既拆盘，仙人临载，乃潸然泪下。唐诸王孙李长吉遂作《金铜仙人辞汉歌》。
茂陵刘郎秋风客，夜闻马嘶晓无迹。
画栏桂树悬秋香，三十六宫土花碧。
魏官牵车指千里，东关酸风射眸子。
空将汉月出宫门，忆君清泪如铅水。
衰兰送客咸阳道，天若有情天亦老。
携盘独出月荒凉，渭城已远波声小。
Preface
In the eighth moon of the first yearof Qinglong, Emperor Ming of Wei commanded palace officials to cart west thebronze immortal who held the dew tray in Emperor Wu of Han’s time, intending toset it before his front hall. When the tray was torn away, the immortal, aboutto be loaded, shed tears in silence. Li Changji, a descendant of the Tangimperial clan, thus composed Song of the Golden Bronze Immortal Bidding HanFarewell.
Poem：
Song of the Golden Bronze ImmortalDeparting Han Palace
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Lord Liu of Maoling, a fleeting guestof autumn gales,
Steeds neighed at night; by dawn notrace prevails.
Osmanthus scents float by the paintedrails;
Thirty-six palaces, draped in greenmossy veils.
Wei's officers haul the cart athousand li away,
From East Gate sour wind pierces hiseyes—they stray.
Vainly I bear the Han moon past thepalace gate,
For you, my clear tears like moltenlead fall straight.
Withered orchids escort the guest onXianyang's road,
If Heaven had heart, even Heaven wouldgrow old.
I carry the tray alone 'neath the moonso bleak,
Weicheng fades far, the waves' murmurgrows weak.
13.致酒行
（唐・李贺）
零落栖迟一杯酒，主人奉觞客长寿。
主父西游困不归，家人折断门前柳。
吾闻马周昔作新丰客，天荒地老无人识。
空将笺上两行书，直犯龙颜请恩泽。
我有迷魂招不得，雄鸡一声天下白。
少年心事当拏云，谁念幽寒坐呜呃。
Toast to My Ambition
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Worn, wandering, I raise one wine cupslight,
Host lifts glass: “May guest live longin light.”
Lord Zhufu journeyed west, trapped farfrom home,
His kin snapped willow boughs whereguests would roam.
I’ve heard Ma Zhou once lodged atXinfeng inn,
World old, earth worn, none would himdiscern.
Only two lines of script upon hisscroll,
He dared confront the dragon throne,beg royal soul.
My lost soul wanders, no spell cancall it back,
Rooster crows, one cry unfurls whitedawn’s black.
Youth’s bold heart ought to graspclouds up on high,
Who grieves cold loneliness, and sitand sigh?
14.老夫采玉歌
（唐・李贺）
采玉采玉须水碧，琢作步摇徒好色。
老夫饥寒龙为愁，蓝溪水气无清白。
夜雨冈头食蓁子，杜鹃口血老夫泪。
蓝溪之水厌生人，身死千年恨溪水。
斜山柏风雨如啸，泉脚挂绳青袅袅。
村寒白屋念娇婴，古台石磴悬肠草。
Ballad of the Old Jade Miner
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Dig jade, dig jade, seek the azurejade stone,
Carved as hair ornaments, mere vainbeauty shown.
Old man starves, freezes, even dragonsgrieve,
Blue Stream’s waters lose all pureclear weave.
At night he chews hazel nuts onridge’s crest,
Cuckoo spits blood, old man's tearsrun unrest.
Blue Stream devours all living menthat toil,
Dead a thousand years, men hate itsswirling coil.
Sloped mountain cypresses, wind roarsthrough rain,
Thin green ropes hang down springcliff’s damp chain.
In cold cottage, he thinks of his babesmall,
Vine hearts hang sad on old stonesteps’ tall wall.
15. 高轩过（韩员外愈、皇甫侍御湜见过，因而命作）
（唐・李贺）
华裾织翠青如葱，金环压辔摇玲珑。
马蹄隐耳声隆隆，入门下马气如虹。
云是东京才子，文章巨公。
二十八宿罗心胸，九精照耀贯当中。
殿前作赋声摩空，笔补造化天无功。
庞眉书客感秋蓬，谁知死草生华风。
我今垂翅附冥鸿，他日不羞蛇作龙。

The Noble Visit (Written When Han Yu and Huangfu ShiCame to My Hut)
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Green brocade robes like fresh chives glow,
Gold rings on bridles jingle slow.
Hoof-thunder hums through ear and hall,
They dismount, spirit surging tall.
Two masters of the eastern town,
Whose prose renown spreads far and down.
All twenty-eight stars fill their breast,
Nine essences through souls manifest.
Their verses soar to heaven’s dome,
Their pens repair the flaws of nature's loom.
This haggard bard, dry autumn reed,
Winds of glory o’er dead weeds succeed.
My wings droop now, behind wild swans I ride,
One day this snake shall turn to dragon’s pride.
16.《浩歌》
原作（唐・李贺）
南风吹山作平地，帝遣天吴移海水。
王母桃花千遍红，彭祖巫咸几回死？
青毛骢马参差钱，娇春杨柳含缃烟。
筝人劝我金屈卮，神血未凝身问谁？
不须浪饮丁都护，世上英雄本无主。
买丝绣作平原君，有酒唯浇赵州土。
漏催水咽玉蟾蜍，卫娘发薄不胜梳。
羞见秋眉换新绿，二十男儿那刺促？
勘校：缃烟，一作“细烟”。
Loud Ballad of Longing
By Li He (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Southwinds level peaks that once stood tall,
Godsends sea-god Wu to shift the ocean’s sprawl.
QueenMother’s peach blooms blush a thousand springs,
Long-livedPeng Zu and Wu Xian pass on their wings.
Greysteed’s coat bears coin spots neat and fine,
Springwillows veil soft yellow mist and shine.
Lutemaid holds golden cup and bids me drink,
Myspirit unripe—who my fate shall think?
Noneed to drown in Dirge of Captain Ding,
Heroesroam the world, no lord their worth to sing.
I’dweave silk threads to stitch Lord Pingyuan’s face,
Pourwine to soak Zhao’s old ancestral place.
Hour-dripjade toad chokes time’s racing tide,
Fairmaid’s thin locks scarce bear the comb’s light glide.
Iblush to watch youth’s brows fade into grey,
Attwenty, why waste days in dull delay?
