《桃花扇传奇》题词

[清]陈宇王

玉树歌[1]残迹已陈,

南朝宫殿柳条新。

福王少小风流惯,

不爱江山爱美人。

注释:

[1]玉树歌:南朝陈后主所作的《玉树后庭花》。

On Reading Peach Blossom Fan

Chen Yuwang

None sings The Jade Tree Song[1], no trace of yore in view;

In Southern palace willow trees again look new.

While young, the prince[2] in gallantry was an old hand;

He loves a beautiful woman more than his land.

注释:

[1]“The Jade Tree Song” was composed by the last emperor(553—604) of the Chen Dynasty and became the symbol of a conquered kingdom.

[2]The last prince of the Ming Dynasty was captured as the last emperor of the Chen Dynasty, one of the Southern Dynasties.
