乌衣巷
刘禹锡
朱雀桥边野草花,
乌衣巷口夕阳斜。
旧时王谢堂前燕,
飞入寻常百姓家。
Black Robe Lane
Liu Yuxi
By the Red Sparrow Bridge flowers and grasses have gone to seed;
Over Black Robe Lane the sunset is slanted and weak.
Swallows that in the halls of grand houses used to nest
Have flown into the homes of common folks there to rest.
(翻译:龚景浩)
*乌衣巷位于今天的江苏省南京市秦淮区,在夫子庙一带秦淮河上的文德桥南岸,是三国东吴时的禁军驻地。由于当时禁军身着黑色军服,故此地俗语称乌衣巷。东晋时以王导、谢安两大家族,都居住在乌衣巷,此地是豪门望族的聚居地。住在乌衣巷,是当时地位与荣耀的象征。 唐代,乌衣巷沦为普通百姓住地,所以刘禹锡有诗云:“乌衣巷口夕阳斜,朱雀桥旁野草花。旧时王谢堂前燕,飞入寻常百姓家”。
