《題明王打球圖》是宋代詩人晁說之創(chuàng)作的一首七絕。此詩通過題詠畫中的史實來抒發(fā)詩人對現(xiàn)實的感慨。前兩句寫唐代宮門千重萬層大大敞開的升平氣象和唐玄宗打完球后帶醉而歸的得意神情;后兩句是詩人在發(fā)泄幽憤,既是對唐玄宗的諷刺,也是對忠諫之臣的贊美和惋惜。全詩文筆流暢,言淺意深,篇幅雖短小,立意卻不凡。
《題明王打球圖》 晁說之
閶闔千門萬戶開,三郎沉醉打球回。
九齡已老韓休死,無復(fù)明朝諫疏來。
Picture of Ball Playing
Chao Yuezhi
See thousands of palace gates open one and all:
The emperor comes back drunk after playing ball.
The loyal ministers are old or die of sorrow;
No one would venture an admonition tomorrow.
