韦应物（737—约792），唐代著名山水田园诗人。韦应物与王维、孟浩然、柳宗元并称“唐代山水田园诗四大家”。他的诗风以“清”“冷”“淡”“空”著称，语言简练克制，意境幽远空灵，被誉为“韦苏州体”。
美学特质：荒庭、秋雨、寒钟、孤雁、空山、落月——这些意象构成了韦应物诗歌的核心美学。他从不激烈呐喊，而是用最克制的笔触，写出最深沉的孤独与乡愁。
哲学深度：韦应物的山水诗不是简单的景物描摹，而是融入了道家“物我两忘”的哲思，如《听嘉陵江水声寄深上人》中对水石相激的追问：“水性自云静，石中本无声。如何两相激，雷转空山惊。”
在全球化时代，韦应物代表了中国文化中“内敛而深邃”的一面。他的诗告诉世界：中国文化不仅有热闹的唐诗盛宴，更有这样一位在乱世中独自漫步于空山、聆听松子落地的隐者。这种“静默的力量”，恰恰是最能打动人心、最具国际传播潜力的文化基因。
本辑甄选佳作十六首，通过信达雅英译，一展其“静默的力量”风采。
第一辑（山水闲情16首）
1. 《滁州西涧》
独怜幽草涧边生，上有黄鹂深树鸣。
春潮带雨晚来急，野渡无人舟自横。
【异文】怜：一作“爱”
By the Western Stream at Chuzhou
by Wei Yingwu
Tr. by Wang Yongli
I love the quiet grass along the rill,
From shadowed woods where orioles pour their thrill.
At dusk, spring rain and tide impel the stream withspeed;
A boat adrift athwart the ferry, none to heed.
2. 《秋夜寄邱二十二员外》
怀君属秋夜，散步咏凉天。
空山松子落，幽人应未眠。
【异体】邱：古同“丘”，避孔子讳作邱；属：一作“是”
To Councillor Qiu the Twenty-Second on an Autumn Night
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
This autumn night belongs to longing thee;
I stroll and chant beneath cool sky free.
Pine nuts drop on empty hills far away—
My quiet friend must still lie awake today.
3.《寄全椒山中道士》
今朝郡斋冷，忽念山中客。
涧底束荆薪，归来煮白石。
欲持一瓢酒，远慰风雨夕。
落叶满空山，何处寻行迹。
Letter to the Taoist Hermit in Quanjiao Hills
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
My study’scold this morning, clear and bleak;
I think of the hermit who dwells on the peak.
He gathers thorn faggots down by the rill,
Boils white stone on his hearth when he climbs uphill.
I’dbear a gourd of wine through wind and rain,
To soothe his lone dusk far o’er the plain.
But fallen leaves bury the empty hill wide—
Where shall I trace his wandering stride?
4. 《幽居》
贵贱虽异等，出门皆有营。
独无外物牵，遂此幽居情。
微雨夜来过，不知春草生。
青山忽已曙，鸟雀绕舍鸣。
时与道人偶，或随樵者行。
自当安蹇劣，谁谓薄世荣。
Solitary Dwelling
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
High rank or low folk, when out they stray,
All chase worldly gains through every day.
I alone stand free from mortal tie,
To live in seclusion where calm draws nigh.
Light rain slipped by in the midnight haze;
I knew not spring grass grew through quiet days.
Green hills blush dawn light all sudden and mild;
Sparrows wheel round my cottage and wild.
Sometimes I walk with a Taoist sage,
Or trudge with woodcutters over the stage.
Content with my humble weak lot I stand—
Who deems trivial glory the whole of man’s land?
5. 《东郊》
吏舍跼终年，出郊旷清曙。
杨柳散和风，青山澹吾虑。
依丛适自憩，缘涧还复去。
微雨霭芳原，春鸠鸣何处。
乐幽心屡止，遵事迹犹遽。
终罢斯结庐，慕陶真可庶。
【异体】跼：同“局”；澹：同“淡”
The Eastern Suburb
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Trapped in official hallsthe whole long year;
I step to suburbs at cleardawn’s cheer.
Willows breathe soft windwith tender grace;
Green hills melt all myweary care and base.
I lean on thicket, rest myweary breast,
Wander along brook, thenonward pressed.
Light misty rain veils thefragrant lea;
Where does springturtle-dove chant free?
My heart craves quiet, yetduty calls fast;
Bound to my post, my stepshurry past.
Someday I’ll quit office, build hut below—
To match Tao Qian’s peace, my deepest vow.
6. 《同褒子秋斋独宿》
山月皎如烛，风霜时动竹。
夜半鸟惊栖，窗间人独宿。
Lodging Alone in Autumn Study with Baozi
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Hill moon glows bright as a candle’s flame;
Wind and frost stir bamboo, soft yet the same.
Midnight scares birds from their leafy nest;
Alone by the window I lie at rest.
7. 《野居》
结发屡辞秩，立身本疏慢。
今得罢守归，幸无世欲患。
栖止且偏僻，嬉游无早宴。
逐兔上坡冈，捕鱼缘赤涧。
高歌意气在，贳酒贫居惯。
时启北窗扉，岂将文墨间。
【异体】贳：俗作“赊”
Rustic Abode
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Since youth I’vedeclined official post,
My nature loose, no courtly boast.
Now freed from magistrate’sheavy load;
Free from worldly greed’stormenting goad.
My cottage hides in a remote glen;
No hasty feasts for idle men.
I chase hares up the sloping mound,
Fish red brooks where clear waters bound.
Loud songs keep my bold spirit alive;
Borrowed wine suits my poor humble hive.
Oft I unlatch the north window pane—
Nor let dull scrolls my true joy restrain.
8. 《永定寺喜辟强夜至》
子有新岁庆，独此苦寒归。
夜叩竹林寺，山行雪满衣。
深炉正燃火，空斋共掩扉。
还将一尊对，无言百事违。
【异体】尊：同“樽”, 标题：强：一作“疆”
Delight at Qiang’s Night Visit to Yongding Temple
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Thou hast new-year bliss to claim and hold,
Yet trudge through bitter cold to this fold.
Thou knock’stthe bamboo temple gate by night,
Snow cloaks thy robes from mountain height.
Our stove blazes warm with steady fire;
We shut the bare study, calm desire.
We share one wine jar, silent side by side—
All vexing worldly cares lay aside.
9. 《听嘉陵江水声寄深上人》
凿崖泄奔湍，称古神禹迹。
夜喧山门店，独宿不安席。
水性自云静，石中本无声。
如何两相激，雷转空山惊。
贻之道门旧，了此物我情。
【异文】云：一作“本”
To Monk Shen, While Listening to Jialing River
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Cliffs carved to let wild torrents race;
This marks old Yu the god’sfamed trace.
All night the din shakes mountain inn’s hall;
I rest alone, no peace at all.
Water’strue essence still and mild,
Stones hold no sound, silent and wild.
When wave and rock collide and clash,
Thunder roars through empty mountain hush.
I send this verse to my old monk friend,
That man and nature’sbond may comprehend.
10. 《游开元精舍（其一）》
清诗应早晚，相伴在东林。
独往山中老，相逢雪后吟。
雨晴烟乍敛，泉响夜方深。
一食身无累，谁知物外心。
Visiting Kaiyuan Hermitage I
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Pure verses fill our dawn and dusk hour,
Companions beneath eastern wood’s bower.
Thou dwell’stalone, aging on hill’scold ground;
We meet post-snow, chant poems unbound.
Rain fades, thin mist melts out of sight;
Spring fountain murmurs deep in night.
One simple meal frees flesh from strain;
Who knows my heart beyond mortal gain?
11. 《游开元精舍（其二）》
夏衣始轻体，游步爱僧居。
果园新雨后，香台照日初。
绿阴生昼静，孤花表春余。
符竹方为累，形迹一来疏。
Visiting Kaiyuan Hermitage II
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Light summer robes ease my tired frame;
I wander, fond of this monk’s calm claim.
New rain bathes fruit groves, fresh and sweet;
Incense stand glints in morning heat.
Green shade weaves hush through midday hours;
Lonely blooms bear spring’slast faint powers.
Official tokens bind my weary soul,
Thus seldom I stray to this tranquil bowl.
12. 《西塞山》
势从千里奔，直入江中断。
岚横秋塞雄，地束惊流满。
West Sai Mountain
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Its ridges surge a thousand li afar,
Then cleave the river’srushing scar.
Autumn mist veils its grand frontier face;
Narrow banks trap raging flood’s wild race.
13. 《月夜会友》（一作《月下会徐十一草堂》）
空斋无一事，岸帻遇故人。
初月开秋宇，高风动竹筠。
暂销官里役，共爱物中真。
夜久星河净，微霜下葛巾。
【异体】帻：古头巾字，无替代；筠：竹异体通用
Meeting Xu the Eleventh in His Cottage on Moonlit Night
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
My bare study bears no worldly chore;
Loose my headcloth, I greet friend of yore.
Young moon unlocks autumn’svast sky dome;
Sharp wind stirs thin bamboo’s soft loom.
For a while shed official toil’s heavy chain,
We cherish true grace all nature can gain.
Night deepens, clear the star river’s tide;
Light frost settles on my linen headside.
14. 《善福精舍秋夜迟诸君》
广庭独闲步，夜色方湛然。
丹阁通月道，金池生细烟。
清钟扬虚谷，微火照寒天。
所思不可见，孤坐又经年。
Awaiting Friends at Shanfu Hermitage on an Autumn Night
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
I stroll alone in wide courtyard space,
Night spreads its calm, unruffled grace.
Red pavilion meets the moon’s bright trail;
Thin mist curls up from gilded pond pale.
Clear bell notes drift through empty vale;
Faint flame glimmers the cold night veil.
Those I long for stay far out of sight;
I sit forlorn, another whole year’s night.
15. 《寺居独夜寄崔主簿》
幽人寂不寐，木叶纷纷落。
寒雨暗深更，流萤度高阁。
坐使青灯晓，还伤故山约。
此意竟谁知，窗前有松鹤。
【异文】度：一作“过”
To Magistrate Cui, Solitary Night in Temple Dwelling
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Quiet recluse, wakeful, hushed and lone;
Countless dry leaves drift downward, one by one.
Cold rain dims the midnight hour’s dark haze;
Fireflies glide past the pavilion’s raise.
I sit till green lamp greets dawn’s faint glow,
Grieving old vows for my hometown slope.
Who understands this heavy heart’s cry?
Only pine trees and cranes stand nigh.
16. 《闲居寄诸弟》
秋草生庭白露时，故园诸弟益相思。
尽日高斋无一事，芭蕉叶上独题诗。
To My Younger Brothers in Leisure Retreat
By Wei Yingwu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Autumn grass creeps o’ercourt with white dew spread;
My brothers at home fill my longing head.
Whole day my lofty study holds no task;
I write lone verses on banana frond’s mask.
宇文所安、伯顿・沃森一众汉学家，格外青睐韦应物，译本产出自然很多。西方读者很容易共情这种安静的自然哲思，和西方自然诗歌审美契合。
本辑通过独创的信达雅英译，映照出韦应物用他一生的矛盾与挣扎为我们留下的山水闲情。那些在秋夜散步时的思念、在空山独宿时的寂寞、在雨中遥寄道士的一瓢酒——穿越一千二百年的时光，依然能够触动我们的心弦。
正如韦应物自己所说：“此意竟谁知，窗前有松鹤。”有些诗意，不必说破，只需静静地感受。（翻译王永利）
