《國風·衛(wèi)風·芄蘭》是周代著名文學作品《詩經(jīng)》中的詩歌。對此詩,究竟詩義為何,古今說法頗多且互相爭執(zhí)。比較經(jīng)典的觀點有兩派。一派認為是諷刺衛(wèi)國權貴雖然華衣美服、裝腔做勢,但是實際理政能力甚差,就和未成年小孩子水平一樣。第二種比較有影響的解釋是,這實際是首情詩,是情竇初開的小姑娘調(diào)笑自己青梅竹馬的男伙伴,因為看不慣他穿戴成人服飾,在自己面前扮男子漢的造作。
《詩經(jīng)--國風·衛(wèi)風·芄蘭》
芄蘭之支,
童子佩觿。
雖則佩觿,
能不我知。
容兮遂兮,
垂帶悸兮。
芄蘭之葉,
童子佩韘。
雖則佩韘,
能不我甲。
容兮遂兮,
垂帶悸兮。
A Widow
The creeepers grow in pairs;
The youth a girdle wears.
What girdle he may wear,
For me he does not care.
With ease he goes away;
My heart throbs to see his sash sway.
The leaves of creepers swing;
The youth wears archer's ring.
He wears a ring with glee.
Will he make love with me?
With ease he goes away;
My heart throbs to see his sash sway.
