酒困路长意,蹭蹬向谁摅——重读苏轼徐州作《浣溪沙》词

While the Long Journey Is Still Far Ahead,Whom Am I to Confide in After Hangover——Rereading Su Shi's Ci Poetry Huanxisha

苏轼徐州作《浣溪沙》(簌簌衣巾落枣花),历来被认为是歌颂劳动者、抒写农村风光并反映作者喜悦心情的名作。笔者参酌史乘查阅相关资料后认为,把这首词的创作主旨简单作以上认定并不全面。此词婉曲地表达了作者对王安石变法活动的批判,和在仕途上不得重用的苦闷情。

Su Shi＇s ci poetry written in Xuzhou （date blossoms fall incessantly over my shoulders） is always considered a masterpiece depicting the scenery of the countryside and reflecting the writer＇s pleasant feelings. According to my considerations after consulting relevant materials, I think the above-mentioned comment is not quite complete in that it expresses the writer＇s animadversions on Wang Anshi＇s Law Reform Activities and his bitter mood caused by his failure in officialdom.
