Ode to the God of Luo
Cao Zhi [Han]
In the third year of Huang Chu, I went to the capital and returned to Luochuan. The ancients said: The god of Si water is named Mi Fei. In response to Song Yu's feelings about the goddess of the King of Chu, he wrote this poem. The poem says:
I came from the capital area and returned to Dongfan. I carried Yique on my back, crossed the furrow, passed through Tonggu, and reached Lingjing Mountain. The sun is tilting to the west, and the carriages and horses are in trouble. Er is a tax driver in Henggao, a horse in Zhitian, a Rongyu in Yanglin, and a wanderer in Luochuan. Then the spirit moved away and the mind was frightened, and suddenly the thoughts were scattered. If you look down, you won't notice it, but if you look up, you will get a special view. I saw a beautiful woman on the bank of a rock. He then came to the aid of the emperor and told him, "Do you have anyone who can compete with him? Who is that person, as beautiful as this?" The emperor said to him, "I have heard that the god of Heluo is called Mi Fei. However, the king's What you see is nothing like it! What does it look like? I would like to hear about it." I told him: Its shape is as graceful as a frightening dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and the spring pines are blooming brightly. It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and the fluttering snow is like the flowing wind. Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising as the morning glow; looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as a flower rising from Lubo. The slenderness is satisfied, and the length is shortened. If the shoulders are cut into shape, the waist will be as plain as expected. The neck is extended to show off the neck, and the beauty is revealed. Fragrance is not added, and the lead is beautiful. The cloud bun is in E'e, and the eyebrows are trimmed in Lianjuan. Red lips are bright on the outside and white teeth are fresh on the inside. Bright eyes are good at gazing, and the dimples assist in inheriting the power. The appearance is beautiful and elegant, the appearance is quiet and the body is leisurely. Tender and charming, charming in words. The costume is unique and unique, and the bone statue corresponds to the picture. The dazzling beauty of the robe, the splendor of Eryao and blue. Wear gold and green jewelry, embellished with pearls to dazzle your body. Practicing the literary shoes of traveling far away, dragging the light veil of mist and gauze. The faint fragrance of orchids is lingering in the corner of the mountain. So suddenly Yan jumped up and down, flying and having fun. It leans on Caiyan on the left, and shades Guiqi on the right. Go to the Marsh of God with your bright wrists, and gather the mysterious mushrooms in Turbulent Sea.
I am happy with its beauty, but my heart is shaking but not happy. Unscrupulous matchmakers use microwaves to communicate with each other. May Cheng Su arrive first and untie the jade pendant to get it. The beauty cultivates her faith, and the Qiang learns etiquette and understands poetry. Anti-Qiongyao comes with peace, pointing to the abyss for a certain period of time. I hold on to the wealth of my family, but I am afraid that I will be bullied by Sling. Feeling grateful for the friendship, I abandoned my words, feeling hesitant and suspicious. Keep your face calm and calm, show your courtesy and guard yourself.
So Luo Ling was in a state of confusion, and he moved to Yiyi and hesitated. Divine light separates and combines, yin and yang. Song's light body stands like a crane, as if it were about to fly but has not yet soared. The road to practice the pepper is strong and vigorous, and the steps are thin and fragrant. The ultra-long chant is for eternal admiration, and the sound is mournful and long. You are a miscellaneous group of spirits, and you are ordered to be a couple. Or play in the clear stream, or fly to Shenzhu, or pick up pearls, or pick up green feathers. The second concubine from Nanxiang brought a traveling girl from Hanbin. Sighing the incomparable melons, chanting the solitude of the morning glory. The light and thin grass is rising, and the shades are repairing the sleeves to extend the silence. The body is as fast as a flying duck, as erratic as a god. Lingbo steps slightly, and the socks are dusty. The movement is impermanent, and if it is in danger, it is safe; if it is difficult to move forward and stop, it is easy to go and return. The essence flows through the sky, and the jade face is smooth and smooth. He held his tongue without spitting out his words, and his breath was like a quiet orchid. The beauty and gracefulness made me forget to eat.
Then the screen closed in the wind, and the waves behind the Sichuan were quiet. Feng Yi plays the drum and Nuwa sings. Teng Wenyu rides on the police, and the jade luan passes away together. The six dragons are standing together, carrying the descendants of the cloud chariot. The whale salamander leaps and clamps its hub, and the waterfowl soar and guard. So he crossed over to Beijun, passed through Nangang, led Yusu, and returned to Qingyang. Move your red lips to speak in Xu Yan, and present the outline of the handover. The ways of hating people and gods are different, and resenting those who are in their prime are inappropriate. I resisted wearing my sleeves to cover my tears, and the tears flowed down my lapel. The memorial service will never end, and the mourning will pass away and be in a foreign land. There is no trace of affection to imitate love, and I offer the bright beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. Although he is latent in Taiyin, he always places his heart on the king. Suddenly he didn't realize what he had given up, and he was so sad that he blocked the light at night.
So I carried the mausoleum high on my back and had enough to pay attention to the gods. Imagination of lingering feelings, looking at sorrow. I hope that the spirit body will regain its shape and go up in a light boat. Float on the long river and forget to rebel, think about it and increase your admiration. The night is dull and sleepless, and the sun comes to dawn with heavy frost. I ordered my servant to drive away, and I will return to the east road. He grabbed the bridle to resist the plan, but he was so sad that he couldn't leave.
Translation
In the third year of Huangchu's reign, I came to Kyoto for pilgrimage and returned to Luoshui. The ancients once said that the name of this water god was Mi Fei. I was inspired by what Song Yu said about the goddess to the King of Chu, so I wrote this poem. Fu Wen said:
I set out from Luoyang, the capital, and returned eastward to Juancheng, my fiefdom. I carried Yique on my back, crossed the shackles, passed through Tonggu, and climbed Jingshan Mountain. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the carriages and horses were exhausted. So I unloaded the cart on the bank covered with sedge grass and fed the horses in the field growing with sedge grass. I walked in Yanglin and looked at the vast Luochuan River. As a result, I felt in a trance and my thoughts drifted away. When he lowered his head, he didn't see anything. When he raised his head, he saw an unusual sight. He saw a beautiful woman standing beside the rock. I couldn't help but pulled the coachman beside me and said to him: "Have you seen that person? Who is that person? He is so gorgeous!" The coachman replied: "I heard that the name of the God of Heluo is Mi Fei, but now the king What I saw was her! I really want to know what her shape is like.”
I told him: Her figure is as graceful as a flying geese, and as graceful as a swimming dragon. . Her face is as radiant as a chrysanthemum in the autumn sun, and her body is as lush as a green pine in the spring breeze. She disappears and appears like light clouds enveloping the moon, floating and erratic like the returning wind and swirling snow. Looking from a distance, it is as bright and clear as the rising sun rising in the morning glow; looking from a close distance, it is as bright and bright as a new lotus blooming among the green waves. Her figure is moderate, her height is well proportioned, her shoulders are as narrow as a shave, her waist is as thin as a bundle, and her beautiful neck reveals her fair skin. Neither grease nor powder is applied, her hair is as high as a cloud, her long eyebrows are curved and slender, her red lips are fresh and moist, her teeth are white, she has a pair of shining eyes that are good at looking at her, and there are two sweet dimples under her cheeks. Her posture is elegant and charming, her behavior is gentle and demure, her mood is soft and gentle, and her words are appropriate and pleasant. The costumes of the Luo Shen are exquisite and gorgeous, and their appearance and appearance are the same as those in the picture. She was dressed in bright robes and carried exquisite jade ornaments. Wearing gold, silver and jade jewelry, it is decorated with shining pearls all over.
She was wearing patterned traveling shoes, dragging her mist-like skirt, which faintly exuded the fragrance of orchids, wandering around the mountainside. Suddenly, he moved lightly again, walking and playing, leaning on a colorful tree on his left and shaded by a laurel flag on his right. He stretched out his bare hands on the river beach to pick the black mushrooms beside the water.
I fell in love with her beauty, and I felt uneasy and swaying in my heart. Because there is no suitable matchmaker to intercede, the only way to convey the words is through microwaves. Hoping that my sincere feelings would be expressed before others, I took off my jade pendant and extended an invitation to her. It's a pity that the beauty is really beautiful, both polite and eloquent. She answered me with a jade in her hand, and pointed to the deep water in anticipation. I cherish the sincerity of love, but I am afraid of being deceived by this goddess. Because he felt that Zheng Jiaofu once encountered a goddess who broke her promise, he felt melancholy, hesitation and hesitation in his heart, so he calmed down his face and maintained himself with etiquette and justice.
At this time, Luo Shen was deeply moved and wandered low. The divine light came and went, flickering on and off. She raised her light body like a towering crane, as if she was about to fly but had not yet soared; and she walked on a path filled with the strong fragrance of peppercorns, walking through the Du Heng grass, causing the fragrance to flow. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh to express his deep yearning, and his voice was sad and long. So the gods came together in great numbers, chatting with each other. Some were playing in the clear water, some were flying in the magical Xiaozhu, some were collecting pearls, and some were picking up the feathers of kingfishers. Next to Luo Shen were Emperor E and Nv Ying, the second concubine of Nanxiang. She held the God of Han River in her arms, sighing for the lack of chance of the Hu Gua star and lamenting for the solitude of the Altair star. Sometimes he raises his top that flutters in the wind, uses his long sleeves to block the light and looks into the distance, and stands there for a long time; sometimes his body is as light and agile as a flying duck, wandering erratically. She walked on the water waves, and the water splashed by her stockings was like dust. Her movements are irregular, like crisis and ease; her progress and retreat are unpredictable, like leaving and returning. Her eyes were shining brightly, her face was radiant, and her breath was as fragrant as orchid before she even spoke. Her graceful and graceful figure made me forget about eating and drinking.
At this time, Fengshen Pingyi restrained the evening wind, Shuishenchuan calmed down the waves, Feng Yi beat the divine drum, and Nuwa sang a clear voice. The flying Manyu guarded the Luo Shen's carriage, and the gods left together with the jingling Jade Luan. The six dragons marched together, driving the cloud chariots forward calmly. Whale salamanders leaped on both sides of the car, and waterfowl flew around to protect them. As the car passed the sandbar in the north and crossed the hills in the south, Luo Shen rolled her white neck, looked back at her delicate brows, opened her red lips slightly, and slowly recounted the outline of the exchange. They only resent that humans and gods are different, and although they are both in their prime, they cannot get what they want. As she spoke, she couldn't help but raise her sleeves to cover her face and cry. She couldn't help but shed tears that wetted her clothes. She mourned and joyfully met forever. Now that we were in two different places, she never expressed her love with any tenderness. My heart can only be given as a permanent souvenir. Although I am deep in Taiyin, I always miss the king. After Luo Shen finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared without a trace. I felt deeply saddened by the sudden disappearance of all the spirits and their brilliance.
So I left my lower body and climbed higher. Although my steps moved, my mind remained where I was. With lingering emotions, I often imagine the meeting scene and the appearance of Luo Shen; looking back, I feel even more melancholy. Full of hope that Luo Shen would appear again, he desperately drove his boat upstream. While sailing on the long Luoshui River, I even forgot to return, but my longing for her continued and grew stronger and stronger, so much so that I could not calm down and fall asleep all night long, and my body was covered with thick frost until dawn. I had no choice but to order my servant to prepare my horse and carriage, and set out on the road back eastward. However, when I held the horse's reins in my hand and raised my whip, I felt lost, lingering and unable to leave.
