竹里馆[1]
独坐幽篁[2]里，
弹琴复长啸[3]。
深林[4]人不知，
明月来相照。
注释：
[1] 竹里馆：辋川别墅胜景之一。
[2] 幽篁：幽深茂密的竹林。《楚辞·九歌·山鬼》：“余处幽簧兮终不见天。”
[3] 啸：撮口发出悠长而清亮的声音。《晋书·阮籍传》载阮籍善长啸，入苏门山寻孙登，惊闻孙登之啸“若鸾凤之音，响乎岩谷”。魏晋以后，成为隐逸高士的一种风尚与标志。
[4] 深林：“幽篁”。竹林。
The Bamboo Hut
Wang Wei
Sitting among bamboos alone,
I play on lute and croon carefree.
In the deep woods where I’m unknown,
Only the bright moon peeps at me.
This quatrain describes the communion of a solitary lutist with nature, that is, the solitary moon and a solitary bamboo grove.
