Listen to this article《幽州夜饮》是唐代诗人张说创作的五言律诗。诗的首联描写出北地秋天雨夜的萧瑟。颔联一转而写高堂宴会，以宴会能暂忘“迟暮心”而影射出平日的迟暮之感。颈联字面上说的是身在军中“宜”作剑舞，地处塞上只“重”笳音。然而不难看出，实则是说在边地军府中只有粗犷的剑舞、笳音可供观赏。尾联承前而抒情，表面上说能作为边城将领观舞赏乐全赖君主恩惠，实则也是含沙射影表达出了牢骚之意。
《幽州夜饮》 张说
凉风吹夜雨，萧瑟动寒林。
正有高堂宴，能忘迟暮心？
军中宜剑舞，塞上重笳音。
不做边城将，谁知恩遇深？
Drinking at Night
Zhang Yue
The cool breeze brings drizzles at night;
The dreary woods shiver with fright.
A banquet is held in the hall;
The guests forget their spring and fall.
Sword dance fills the army with cheer;
Bugle songs delight the frontier,
Were we not generals on the border,
Could we keep the empire in order?
