不可不信缘
Yesterday my friend and I had a heated debate about a song we heard in a Starbucks in Guangzhou. I reacted without any hesitation that it’s the theme song from the 2003 Korean movie 클래식 (The Classic; 假如爱有天意 / 不可不信缘); … Continue reading

暮春
五月二日夜访故友新居,四人围坐小酌,相谈甚洽。窗外,帝国大厦近在咫尺。归来拈成小诗一首,聊以遣怀。 空谷幽居有佳人, 窗牖清辉澹水木。 六朝烟雨三尺剑, 年年天际识归舟。
如梦令 四首
[宋] 王之道 一饷凝情无语,手撚梅花何处。倚竹不胜愁,暗想江头归路。东去,东去,短艇淡烟疏雨。 叶底芳蕤如缀,坐对广庭忘味。娇呆最怜伊,乱糁舞馀风袂。贪喜,贪喜,不觉宝钗斜坠。 遥指汤泉西路,隐约碧云天暮。宿鸟择深枝,两两相呼如语。凝伫,凝伫,今夜梦魂何处。 黄叶声迟风歇,龛火夜寒明灭。残月却多情,来照先生归辙。清绝,清绝,透隙飞霜似雪。

江南清明
[唐] 鄭准 吳山楚驛四年中,一見清明一改容。 旅恨共風連夜起,韶光隨酒著人濃。 延興門外攀花別,采石江頭帶雨逢。 無限歸心何計是,路邊戈甲正重重。 清明上河图局部第十(中国画艺:清明上河图全图欣赏)

我的祖国
1月19日,郎朗在白宫国宴上弹奏了一曲《我的祖国》,因该曲的时代背景招致一些非议。我原先也觉得这说明了郎朗的无知或者欠考虑。但在YouTube上看了郎朗本人贴出的现场视频(画面质量很好,长约十分钟,包括他和Herbie Hancock四手联弹的第一曲,法国拉威尔的作品《鹅妈妈》片段pagoda)后,深深被作品本身的艺术魅力所打动,转而支持郎朗。郎朗的博客“和大家分享在白宫的一天”也颇有趣。相信他确实是对作品本身的艺术价值的赞赏超过了其他的考虑(如果他确实知道该曲时代背景的话)。 因此曲勾起一些早年的回忆,后又在新浪视频上看到了国庆六十周年时首都国庆联欢晚会的序曲《我的祖国》,同样深受震撼和感动。这个视频另一个比较珍贵的地方在于,约2分50秒处出现了胡锦涛流泪哽咽的特写镜头。 [Audio clip: view full post to listen] 词:乔羽 曲:刘炽 唱:郭兰英 一条大河波浪宽 风吹稻花香两岸 我家就在岸上住 听惯了艄公的号子 看惯了船上的白帆 这是美丽的祖国 是我生长的地方 在这片辽阔的土地上 到处都有明媚的风光 姑娘好象花儿一样 小伙儿心胸多宽广 为了开辟新天地 唤醒了沉睡的高山 让那河流改变了模样 这是英雄的祖国 是我生长的地方 在这片古老的土地上 到处都有青春的力量 好山好水好地方 条条大路都宽畅 朋友来了有好酒 若是那豺狼来了 迎接它的有猎枪 这是强大的祖国 是我生长的地方 在这片温暖的土地上 到处都有和平的阳光

冬夜偶拾
作於十二月六日(農歷庚寅年十一月初一)凌晨,改於當日晨。第一次作七言絕句,格律並不太通,還望就正於方家。 故園望斷寒煙輕, 倦客天涯載酒行。 蜀繡吳錦迷離眼, 九華帳裡淚沾巾。

登九峰樓寄張祜
登九峰樓寄張祜 [唐] 杜牧 (宋人計有功《唐詩紀事》載:杜牧之守秋浦,與祜游,酷吟其宮詞。亦知樂天有非之之論。乃為詩曰:) 百感衷來不自由,角聲孤起夕陽樓。 碧山終日思無盡,芳草何年恨即休。 睫在眼前人不見,道非身外更何求? 誰人得似張公子,千首詩輕萬戶侯。 贈內人 [唐] 張祜 禁門宮樹月痕過,媚眼惟看宿鷺窠。 斜拔玉釵燈影畔,剔開紅焰救飛蛾。
