《帆入南湖》是东晋诗人湛方生创作的一首五言古诗。这首诗前四句是对湖光山色的描写,中间两句转入深沉的思考。最后四句,是对宇宙无穷、人生有限的感叹。全诗不仅表现了作者胸襟的廓大,而且抒写出对祖国山川美景由衷的喜悦赞美之情。此诗平易淡远,虽理涉玄机,但有形象,有意境,雄浑开阔,意趣悠远。
湛方生·《帆入南湖》
彭蠡纪三江,庐岳主众阜。
白沙净川路,青松蔚岩首。
此水何时流?此山何时有?
人运互推迁,兹器独长久。
悠悠宇宙中,古今迭先后。
Sailing to the South Lake
Chan Fang-sheng
P'eng-li commands three rivers.
Mount Lu masters other hills.
White sand cleans the waterway.
Green pines cover hanging crags.
This water: since when, its flow?
This mountain: since when, its being?
Man's fate changes from this to that!
These forms alone stay forever.
Within the distant reach of the cosmos,
Past, present, in order, first, last.
