题宣州开元寺[1]水阁，阁下宛溪[2]，夹溪居人
杜牧
六朝[3]文物草连空，
天澹云闲[4]今古同。
鸟去鸟来山色里，
人歌人哭水声中。
深秋帘幕千家雨，
落日楼台一笛风。
惆怅无因见范蠡[5]，
参差烟树五湖[6]东。

Ruined Splendor
Du Mu
Rank grasses grow, six dynasties’ splendors no more;
The sky is lightly blue and clouds free as of yore.
Birds come and go into the gloom of wooded hills,
And songs and wails alike merge in murmuring rills.
Like countless window curtains falls late autumn rain:
High towers steeped in sunset, wind and flute’s refrain.
O how I miss the lakeside sage of bygone days!
I see but ancient trees loom rugged in the haze.
The poet describes the ruins to show his regret for the past splendor. The lakeside sage refers to General Fan who was said to have retired by the lakeside with the beautiful Lady of the West after his victory over the King of Wu in 473 BC.
《题宣州开元寺水阁阁下宛溪夹溪居人》是唐代诗人杜牧创作的一首七言律诗。此诗前六句以六朝文物消失和天光水色依旧对比，表达一种人事无常而自然永恒的感慨。后两句忽然又联想到范蠡，感慨“萧条异代不同时”，自己与他无缘相见，只能怀着仰慕的心情凭吊他的遗踪。
The poem titled “Ruined Splendor” is a seven-line poem written by Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The first six lines of the poem contrast the disappearance of the relics of the Six Dynasties with the still bright water of the sky, expressing a feeling of the impermanence of human affairs and the eternity of nature. In the last two lines, he suddenly thinks of Fan Li and laments that he has no chance to meet him and can only pay homage to his legacy with admiration.
