今日拾句2026年10月20日/《宋词三百首·念奴娇·过洞庭》/张孝祥

释义Explanation

张孝祥遭罢官北归,途经洞庭湖时写下此词。这三句以奇特想象,表现诗人舀尽西江之水为酒,以北斗星为酒器,邀天地万物共饮的豪迈气度。它不仅回应洞庭壮阔景色,更展现诗人虽遭贬谪却心胸开阔、超然物外的精神境界,将个人得失融入宇宙大化之中,充满浪漫主义色彩。

These lines were written when Zhang Xiaoxiang passed through Dongting Lake after being dismissed from office. They employ bold imagination: he will ladle all the water of the West River as wine, use the Big Dipper as a ladle, and invite all creation as guests. This not only echoes the grandeur of the lake but also reveals the poet's magnanimous and transcendental state of mind. Despite political setbacks, he merges personal fortunes with the vast cosmos, displaying a romantic and open-minded spirit.

使用场景Usage

当你面对壮阔的自然景观,如高山、大海、星空,感到自身渺小却内心豁达时;或在经历挫折后与朋友举杯,想要表达放下得失、与万物共饮的洒脱心境时,可用此句。它也是现代生活中追求精神自由、融入自然的诗意写照。

This quote suits moments when you confront magnificent natural scenery—mountains, oceans, starry skies—and feel both small and yet spiritually expansive. It can also be used when, after a setback, you raise a glass with friends to express a free and easy mindset that transcends personal gains and losses. For example, after a long hike reaching a summit at sunrise, or during a quiet night under the stars, these words can articulate a sense of boundless communion with the universe.
