梨花素凈清雅,梨果甘潤醇美,是東方古典文化標(biāo)志性風(fēng)物。梨花喻清白孤高,梨實(shí)寄故土溫情,自先秦至盛唐融入文人情志,無數(shù)唐人落筆詠嘆,留下十五首珠玉篇章。深挖梨意象承載的中式審美、離愁、閑愁與煙火鄉(xiāng)情,將這份獨(dú)屬于華夏的草木詩意對外傳播,能讓海外讀者讀懂含蓄內(nèi)斂的東方美學(xué),助力古典詩詞文化出海,搭建跨越語言的東方精神橋梁。

The Pear Tree
By Li Jiao (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
It bears fine grace beneath dim celestial glow,
Its sweet scent spreads to desert lands far to go.
Patterned boughs adorn the distant border land,

Sweet flesh outshines the red fruit's soft shade.

It would win Zhang Gong's praising phrase.

Ballad of Gathered Woes (Excerpt)
By Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
At fifteen, my heart still held childish delight,
I ran fast as yellow calves from dawn till night.
August brought ripe pears and jujubes to court trees,
A thousand times I climbed the branches with ease.
Now fifty years slip past in fleeting haste,
I stand and walk scarce, sit down to waste.
I force smiles to offer my master cheer,
All griefs of life converge on my worn sphere.
My house stands bare, four walls empty and thin,
My wife wears the same sorrowful look as kin.
My young boy knows no filial rite nor rule,
Cries, rages, begs for food beside the eastern stool.
Appreciation: Recalling joyful childhood pear-climbingcontrasts sharply with present poverty and a hungry child. The stark shiftevokes profound grief.
15. 杜甫《豎子至》(節(jié)選)

The Servant Boy Comes(Excerpt)
By Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Green mountain pears hang unripe on each bough,
Plums and apricots half blush golden now.
My lad comes from secluded garden ground,
Light basket bears ripe crabapples' scent around.

Wild dewy fruit he tastes, fresh and calm.
I long to send this fruit to wandering friends,
Bear sweet gifts through long unending days.
Appreciation: Half-ripe fruits picked by a servantboy—the poet wishes to share them with distant friends but faces endless roads.Simple words carry deep care.
