《泛舟》是宋代学问家朱熹的作品。本诗借助巨舰无人能推动却能自由航行在水中，比喻艺术创作需要灵感的道理。全诗寓哲理于生动形象的比喻之中，不堕理障，富于理趣，一直为人传诵。
《泛舟》 朱熹
昨夜江边春水生，艨艟巨舰一毛轻。
向来枉费推移力，此日中流自在行。
The Floating Ship
Zhu Xi
The vernal water rose by riverside last night;
A stranded heavy ship became a feather light.
Brfore the flood all effort's vain to push it go;
Now with ease it may move in midstream to and fro.
