送陈章甫-李颀
【作品简介】
《送陈章甫》由李颀创作，被选入《唐诗三百首》。李颀的送别诗，以善于描写人物著称。此诗的开头四句写送别，轻快舒坦，情怀旷达。中间八句，写陈章甫志节操守，说他光明磊落，清高自重。这八句是诗魂所在（前四句写他的品德、容貌才学和志节；后四名写他形迹脱略，不与世俗同流，借酒隐德，自持清高）。最后六句，用比兴手法暗喻仕途险恶，世态炎凉。然而诗人却不以为芥蒂，泰然处之。笔调轻松，风格豪爽，别具一格。
李颀与王维、高适、王昌龄等著名诗人皆有来往，诗名颇高。其诗内容涉及较广，尤以边塞诗、音乐诗获誉于世。擅长五、七言歌行体。赵郡（今河北赵县）人，一说东川（今四川三台一带）人。少时家本富有，后结识富豪轻薄子弟，倾财破产。后刻苦读书。隐居颍阳（今河北南许昌）苦读10年，于唐玄宗开元二十三年（735年）考取进士，曾任新乡县尉。任职多年，没有升迁，晚年仍过隐居生活。他一生交游很广，当时著名诗人王昌龄、高适、王维等都与他关系密切。李颀性格疏放超脱，厌薄世俗。他的诗以边塞诗成就最大，奔放豪迈，慷慨悲凉，最著名的有《古从军行》 、 《古意》 、 《塞下曲》等。李颀还善于用诗歌来描写音乐和塑造人物形象。他以长歌著名，也擅长短诗，他的七言律诗尤为后人推崇。 《全唐诗》中录存李颀诗三卷，后人辑有《李颀诗集》 。

送陈章甫
李颀
四月南风大麦黄， 枣花未落桐叶长。
青山朝别暮还见， 嘶马出门思故乡。
陈侯立身何坦荡， 虬须虎眉仍大颡。
腹中贮书一万卷， 不肯低头在草莽。
东门酤酒饮我曹， 心轻万事皆鸿毛。
醉卧不知白日暮， 有时空望孤云高。
长河浪头连天黑， 津口停舟渡不得。
郑国游人未及家， 洛阳行子空叹息。
闻道故林相识多， 罢官昨日今如何。
A FAREWELL TO MY FRIEND CHEN ZHANGFU
Li Qi
In the Fourth-month the south wind blows plains of yellow barley,
Date-flowers have not faded yet and lakka-leaves are long.
The green peak that we left at dawn we still can see at evening,
While our horses whinny on the road, eager to turn homeward.
...Chen, my friend, you have always been a great and good man,
With your dragon's moustache, tiger's eyebrows and your massive forehead.
In your bosom you have shelved away ten thousand volumes.
You have held your head high, never bowed it in the dust.
...After buying us wine and pledging us, here at the eastern gate,
And taking things as lightly as a wildgoose feather,
Flat you lie, tipsy, forgetting the white sun;
But now and then you open your eyes and gaze at a high lone cloud.
...The tide-head of the lone river joins the darkening sky.
The ferryman beaches his boat. It has grown too late to sail.
And people on their way from Cheng cannot go home,
And people from Loyang sigh with disappointment.
...I have heard about the many friends around your wood land dwelling.
Yesterday you were dismissed. Are they your friends today?
