黄冈竹楼记
[宋]王禹 文/罗经国 译
黄冈之地多竹,大者如椽。竹工破之,刳去其节,用代陶瓦。比屋皆然,以其价廉而工省也。
子城西北隅,雉堞圮毁,蓁莽荒秽,因作小楼二间,与月波楼通。远吞山光,平挹江濑,幽阒辽
,不可具状。夏宜急雨,有瀑布声;冬宜密雪,有碎玉声。宜鼓琴,琴调虚畅;宜咏诗,诗韵清绝;宜围棋,子声丁丁然;宜投壶,矢声铮铮然:皆竹楼之所助也。
公退之暇,披鹤氅,戴华阳巾,手执《周易》一卷,焚香默坐,消遣世虑。江山之外,第见风帆沙鸟、烟云竹树而已。待其酒力醒,茶烟歇,送夕阳,迎素月,亦谪居之胜概也。彼齐云、落星,高则高矣;井
、丽谯,华则华矣。止于贮妓女,藏歌舞,非骚人之事,吾所不取。
吾闻竹工云:“竹之为瓦仅十稔,若重覆之,得二十稔。”噫!吾以至道乙未岁,自翰林出滁上,丙申移广陵,丁酉又入西掖,戊戌岁除日,有齐安之命,已亥闰三月到郡。四年之间,奔走不暇,未知明年又在何处,岂惧竹楼之易朽乎!幸后之人与我同志,嗣而葺之,庶斯楼之不朽也!
The Bamboo Pavilion in Huanggang
By Wang Yucheng
Huanggang1 abounds with bamboos. The bigger ones are as thick as
rafters. Workers split the bamboo stems into two, chop off the
joints and use them to substitute earthen tiles. Bamboo tiled houses
are used everywhere, for they are inexpensive and labor-saving.
At the northwest corner of the outer city, the parapets have
collapsed and wild grass grows profusely. Making use of the open
space there, I have built a two-roomed bamboo pavilion, which
adjoins the Moonlight Pavilion2. It gives a panoramic view of the
mountains in the distance and the shallow water that flows over the
sands. The tranquil beauty and the wide-extending space are so
impressive that it is impossible to describe them in detail. The
Bamboo Pavilion is an ideal place to listen to the torrential rain
in summer, which sounds like waterfalls, and to the heavy snow in
winter, for the snow sounds like tiny pieces of jade falling on the
ground. It is also an ideal place to play the qin3, for its tune is
soft and melodious. The same is true of reciting poems, for the
chanting carries an extremely graceful appeal. So are the games of
chess playing and arrow throwing, for the former makes a ding, ding
sound as the chess pieces touch the chessboard, and the latter makes
a zheng, zheng sound as the thuds of the arrows drop into the pot.
For all the pleasant sounds mentioned above, credit should be given
to the Bamboo Pavilion.
Every day in my leisure time after work I would put on a gown made
of birds" feathers and a cap worn by the Taoist priest. With incense
burning by my side and a copy of Yi Jing in hand, I would sit in
silence and forget all worldly affairs. Within my field of vision
besides the mountains and the river, there are nothing but sailing
boats, shore birds, mists, clouds, and stands of bamboo. When I
sober up, the fire lit for making tea has gone out. I send the
setting sun off and welcome the bright moon. There is pleasure in
being in exile! The Qiyun Pavilion4 and the Luoxing Pavilion5 were
lofty indeed. The Jinghan Pavilion6 and the Liqiao Pavilion7 were
grandiose indeed. But they were built to keep courtesans and
dancers. Men of letters do not like them and I disdain them.
I have heard from workers that one layer of the bamboo tiles lasts
ten years and two layers of the bamboo tiles last twenty years.
Alas! I was demoted from the position of Hanlin8 and exiled to Chu
Zhou9 in the first year of Zhidao10. In the following year I was
transferred to Guangling11. In the third year I was appointed as a
member of Xiye12. On New Year"s Eve in the first year of Xianping13
I was assigned to be the prefectural governor of Huang Zhou14. In
the leap month of March in the following year I arrived at my post.
In the past four years I moved non-stop from one place to another. I
don"t know where I will be next year. Why should I worry about the
Bamboo Pavilion? If my successors are of the same mind as I, they
will renovate it from time to time. Then the Bamboo Pavilion might
survive.-
