寒山(生卒年不詳),字、號均不詳,唐代長安(今陜西西安)人。出身于官宦人家,多次投考不第,后出家,三十歲后隱居于浙東天臺山,享年一百多歲。嚴振非《寒山子身世考》中更以《北史》、《隋書》等大量史料與寒山詩相印證,指出寒山乃為隋皇室后裔楊瓚之子楊溫,因遭皇室內(nèi)的妒忌與排擠及佛教思想影響而遁入空門,隱于天臺山寒巖,自號寒山。
《相喚采芙蓉》 寒山
相喚采芙蓉,可憐清江里。
游戲不覺暮,屢見狂風(fēng)起。
浪棒鴛鴦兒,波搖溪鴻子。
此時居舟楫,浩蕩情無已。
We Come
Han Shan
Beneath the lotus, the clearest water opened
As we reached out and met our rippling faces.
Such fun, not feeling the falling dusk,
Stretching our wet hands into the wind.
Where the stream flowed, ducks drifted.
In turn, we pulled in our oars,
Lay them between us, resisting nothing
As thought surged over the water.
