竹里馆
独坐幽篁[1]里，
弹琴复长啸[2]。
深林人不知，
明月来相照。
诗中写到景物，只用六个字：“幽篁”“深林”“明月”。诗中写人物活动，也只用六个字：“独坐”“弹琴”“长啸”。表面看来，四句诗的用字造句平淡无奇，但整体看这首小诗，却妙谛自成，境界自出，蕴含着一种特殊的艺术魅力。本诗也是《辋川集》中的一首名作，它的妙处在于所显示的是一个令人自然而然为之吸引的意境，不以字句取胜，而从整体见美。它的美在神不在貌，而其神是蕴含在意境之中的。
注释：
[1]篁：竹林。
[2]啸（xiào）：吹口哨，用嘴发出长而清脆的声音，是古代文人雅士常用来抒发感情的方式。
The Bamboo Hut
Sitting among bamboos alone,
I play my lute and croon carefree.
In the deep woods where I’m unknown,
Only the bright moon peeps at me.
