风入松

Wind Through the Pines

蒋捷

Jiang Jie

几年槐市槐花冷，天风又还吹起。
故箧重寻，闲书再整，犹记灯窗滋味。
浑如梦里。
见说道如今，早催行李。
快买扁舟，第一桥边趁流水。
阳关须是醉酒，柳条休要折，争似攀桂。
旧有家声，荣看世美，方了平生英气。
琼林宴喜。
带雪絮归来，满庭春意。
事业方新，大鹏九万里。

Years in the scholar-tree market, the blossoms grown cold; the sky wind stirs and rises again.
I search the old book chest once more, tidy my idle books again, and still recall the savor of lamplit windows.
It is all as in a dream.
They say the day is at hand — already the luggage is hurried along.
Quick, buy a little boat, and by the First Bridge catch the flowing stream.
The “Yangguan” song must be sung over wine; do not break willow branches — better to pluck the cassia from the moon.
The old family name endures; in glory behold the beauty of the age — thus is a lifetime’s heroic spirit fulfilled.
The joy of the Qionglin feast.
I come home trailing willow catkins like snow, and spring fills the courtyard.
The career has just begun — the great roc, ninety thousand li.

Listen

Meaning

This lyric was written on the eve of the imperial examination. Jiang Jie looks back on years of cold, lonely study, feels the sudden urgency of the examination journey, and resolves to abandon the sentimental ritual of farewell for the heroic pursuit of success. The poem closes in a blaze of imagined glory — the Qionglin banquet, a homecoming amid spring, and the roc’s ninety-thousand-li ascent.

几年间，槐市中的槐花已经冷落，天风又还吹起。故箧中重新寻觅，闲书再行整理，还记得当年灯窗苦读的滋味。一切都浑如在梦里。听说道如今，早已催人打点行装。快买一叶扁舟，在锦桥边趁着流水东行。阳关一曲，须是痛饮而醉；柳条且休要折，何如去攀蟾宫之桂。旧日家声犹在，荣耀地看到世代之美，方了却平生的英气。琼林宴上何等欣喜。带着雪絮归来，满庭春意盎然。事业方兴未艾，正如大鹏展翅，一举九万里。

Appreciation

[Plain Paraphrase] The poet recalls years of study beneath the cold scholar-tree blossoms; a fresh wind blows, and with it comes word that the examination approaches. He repacks his old books in a daze, buys a boat, and rides the current toward the capital. Refusing the willow-breaking farewell custom, he drinks the Yangguan song and sets his mind on plucking the cassia of success. The lyric ends in a daydream of triumph: the imperial banquet, a spring-filled courtyard, and the roc in flight. [Structure] The poem moves in four steps — years of study, the hurried departure, the choice of ambition over sorrow, and the vision of success — each lifting the mood from cold quiet to bright exhilaration. [Imagery] The cold scholar-tree blossoms and the lamplit window give the “ten years by a cold window” a concrete sensory form; the boat catching the current turns ambition into motion; snow-like willow catkins and courtyard spring turn victory into warmth. [Emotion and Theme] Rare among Jiang Jie’s lyrics, the tone is high-spirited and forward-looking, celebrating the scholar’s faith in effort and fame. [Key Lines] “Years in the scholar-tree market, the blossoms grown cold” and “the great roc, ninety thousand li” are the twin anchors: the price of ambition and its reward.

Background

Jiang Jie (c. 1245–c. 1305), courtesy name Shengkou, hao Zhushan, was a native of Yangxian (modern Yixing, Jiangsu). He passed the jinshi examination in 1274, among the last class before the Southern Song fell; after the dynasty’s collapse he withdrew from public life and died in retirement, keeping his integrity. He is ranked with Zhou Mi, Wang Yisun, and Zhang Yan as one of the four great lyricists of the late Song. Written in his youth, this poem captures the confidence of a scholar before history overtook him — within two years of his degree, the dynasty that granted it was gone, and the roc’s flight was never realized.

此词为宋末词人蒋捷写科举赴试之作，是他早年科举生涯的写照。蒋捷（约1245—约1305），字胜欲，号竹山，阳羡（今江苏宜兴）人，宋末元初词人，与周密、王沂孙、张炎并称宋末四大词家。他于咸淳十年（1274）中进士，是南宋灭亡前最后几科的进士之一，未几而宋亡，入元后隐居不仕，抱节而终。此词写赴试的期待与豪情：「几年槐市槐花冷」，写多年在学市中苦读——槐市为汉代长安的市场，因植槐树而得名，后以「槐市」指学宫、士人聚集之地，槐花冷，写多年苦读的清冷；「故箧重寻，闲书再整，犹记灯窗滋味」，写临行前重寻书箧、整理旧书，回想起当年灯窗苦读的滋味，正是「十年寒窗」的写照；「见说道如今，早催行李。快买扁舟，第一桥边趁流水」，写赴试的急切——听说试期将近，早催行李，快买扁舟，趁流水而行；「阳关须是醉酒，柳条休要折，争似攀桂」，写不效送别的折柳之态，而直取攀桂（登科）之志；「旧有家声，荣看世美，方了平生英气」，写家声世美、平生英气；「琼林宴喜」，写金榜题名后的琼林宴——琼林宴为宋代皇帝赐新科进士的宴席；「带雪絮归来，满庭春意」，写中举归来的春风得意；「事业方新，大鹏九万里」，以大鹏展翅写前程远大。全词以赴试为线索，写尽士人科举之路的期待与豪情，是蒋捷词中少见的昂扬之作，也见其早年对功名的热望。然而历史充满反讽：蒋捷中进士不过两年，南宋便告灭亡，这「大鹏九万里」的豪情，终究未能舒展，反而成了他一生的遗憾与隐痛。

Art

The lyric’s craft lies in its rising rhythm and its bold contrasts. It opens with coldness — “the blossoms grown cold” — and immediately turns on “the sky wind stirs again,” so that a single couplet contains both the duration of study and the arrival of opportunity. Three quick verbs — “already hurry,” “quickly buy,” “catch the current” — compress the departure into breathless motion. The emotional pivot is the negative-and-positive triad of the Yangguan couplet: not the farewell song, not the broken willow, but the cassia — the poet rewrites a scene of parting into a declaration of ambition. The ending stacks three images of glory — banquet, homecoming, roc — each larger than the last, so that the lyric closes at full stretch. Throughout, the density of examination lore (scholar trees, cassia, Qionglin feast) is worn lightly, the hallmark of Jiang Jie’s precise diction.

此词艺术上以「昂扬」与「节奏明快」为特色，在赴试的叙事中写尽科举的期待。上阕以「几年槐市槐花冷」起笔，写多年苦读的清冷，「几年」写时间之长，「槐花冷」写学市之清寂，起笔即见寒窗之苦；「天风又还吹起」，以「天风」写时运之来，「又还吹起」写新的机遇，由冷寂转入昂扬；「故箧重寻，闲书再整，犹记灯窗滋味」，写临行前重寻书箧、整理旧书，「重寻」「再整」写重温，「犹记」写回味，那「灯窗滋味」正是十年寒窗的甘苦；「浑如梦里」，写此情此景如在梦中——多年苦读，一朝赴试，恍如隔世。「见说道如今，早催行李。快买扁舟，第一桥边趁流水」，写赴试的急切——「早催」「快买」「趁流水」，三个动作写尽迫不及待的心情，节奏明快，如扁舟顺流而下。下阕「阳关须是醉酒，柳条休要折，争似攀桂」，以「须是」「休要」「争似」三个词写选择——不效送别的折柳之态，而直取攀桂登科之志，豪情自见；「旧有家声，荣看世美，方了平生英气」，写家声世美、平生英气，气格高昂；「琼林宴喜。带雪絮归来，满庭春意」，以琼林宴写金榜题名的欣喜，以「带雪絮归来」写中举归来的春风得意，「满庭春意」写满庭的春意与喜气；「事业方新，大鹏九万里」，以大鹏展翅写前程远大，「九万里」写前程之无量，收束昂扬有力。全词由苦读而入赴试、由赴试而入题名、由题名而入大鹏，层层推进而意气飞扬，是蒋捷词中风格最昂扬的一首。

Allusions

Every allusion serves the theme of examination success. The “scholar-tree market” was the book market of Han-dynasty Chang'an, shaded by scholar trees; it became a poetic name for schools and academies, and it also echoes the Wang family of the Song, who planted three scholar trees prophesying chancellors among their descendants. “Lamplit window” condenses the proverb “ten years unheard-of beneath the window, one morning famous under heaven.” “Yangguan” quotes Wang Wei’s farewell song, “west out through Yangguan, no old friends”; by insisting it be sung over wine, the poet converts sorrow to fervor. Breaking a willow branch was the standard farewell gift; refusing it is a refusal of sentimentality. “Plucking the cassia” comes from Xi Shen’s self-description as “one branch of the cassia of Guilin” after topping the examination, and it evokes the cassia-cutter in the moon. The “Qionglin feast” was the Song emperor’s banquet for new graduates in the Qionglin Garden, and the “roc, ninety thousand li” flies straight out of Zhuangzi’s Free and Easy Wandering, by way of Li Bai.

此词用典皆围绕科举功名展开。「槐市」，为汉代长安的市场名，因植槐树而得名，后以「槐市」指学宫、士人聚集之地，也暗含「三槐」之典——北宋王祐手植三槐于庭，谓其子孙必有为三公者，后其子王旦果为相，世称「三槐堂」，以槐写功名世家之望。「灯窗」，写寒窗苦读，暗含「十年窗下无人问，一举成名天下知」的科举现实。「扁舟趁流水」，暗用「乘长风破万里浪」的豪情，也含「轻舟已过万重山」的畅快。「阳关」，用王维《送元二使安西》「劝君更尽一杯酒，西出阳关无故人」之典，阳关为送别之曲；「柳条休要折」，反用折柳送别之俗——折柳赠别，是古人的送别礼俗，词人「休要折」，正是要打破送别的悲戚，直取功名。「攀桂」，用「蟾宫折桂」之典，晋郄诜举贤良对策第一，自喻「桂林之一枝」，后以折桂喻登科中第，正是科举功名的象征。「琼林宴」，为宋代皇帝赐新科进士的宴席，设于汴京琼林苑，后以琼林宴写金榜题名的荣耀。「大鹏九万里」，用《庄子·逍遥游》「鹏之徙于南冥也，水击三千里，抟扶摇而上者九万里」之典，以大鹏写前程远大，李白《上李邕》「大鹏一日同风起，扶摇直上九万里」正是此意。这些典故，或写苦读、或写折桂、或写琼林宴、或写大鹏，皆围绕科举功名这一核心，织成一张昂扬的情网，正是蒋捷词「用事下语精严」的特点。

Commentary

The most affecting phrase is “it is all as in a dream.” Years of study seem at once endless and finished in an instant; standing at the threshold of the examination, the past turns dreamlike. This is the scholar’s truest psychology on the eve of destiny — part trance, part déjà vu. Against this haziness the poet sets a hard resolve: no willow branches, no weeping farewell, only the cassia. Yet the reader of history knows the irony. Jiang Jie took his degree in 1274; by 1276 the Song was gone. The roc he sent skyward here never found its wind, and the poet spent his later years as a “leftover subject” in hiding. Set beside his later “Beautiful Lady Yu: Listening to the Rain” — “now I listen to the rain beneath a monk’s roof, my temples starred with grey” — this early lyric reads as the prologue to an unfulfilled life, and its exuberance becomes quietly heartbreaking.

读此词，最值得注意的是「浑如梦里」四字所写出的恍然之感。多年槐市苦读，一朝试期将至，重寻故箧、整理旧书，那灯窗下的滋味涌上心头——「浑如梦里」，一切都像是在梦中。这四字，写出了士人科举之路最真实的心理：十年寒窗，仿佛漫长得没有尽头，又仿佛转瞬即逝；一朝赴试，回首往事，竟恍如隔世。这「梦里」之感，既是对多年苦读的恍惚回味，也是对即将开启的前程的既期待又迷惘。而全词的主调，终究是昂扬的：「阳关须是醉酒，柳条休要折，争似攀桂」——不效那折柳送别的悲戚，要的是蟾宫折桂的豪情；「琼林宴喜」「大鹏九万里」——金榜题名，前程无量。然而读史者知道，蒋捷此词写于南宋覆亡前夕，他于咸淳十年中进士，不过两年，南宋便告灭亡。这「大鹏九万里」的豪情，终究未能舒展——词人后来隐居不仕，抱节而终，那「带雪絮归来，满庭春意」的景象，也终究未能等来。读此词，再想到蒋捷后来的《虞美人·听雨》「而今听雨僧庐下，鬓已星星也」，那份昂扬与那份苍凉对照，正是一个时代的缩影：士人的功名梦，在亡国的现实面前，不过是一场更长的梦罢了。

Prosody

Form Ci (song-lyric) to the tune “Feng Ru Song” (Wind Through the Pines), a slow double-stanza melody; both stanzas rhyme on level tones.词（风入松·双调慢词）

Rhyme The rhymes fall on qi, wei, li, li, shui, gui, qi, yi, li (qi “rise,” wei “savor,” li “within,” shui “water,” gui “cassia,” qi “spirit,” yi “mood,” li “within”), producing a long, ringing, open cadence that matches the lyric’s high spirits.此词为《风入松》双调慢词，上下阕各押平韵，「起」「味」「里」「李」「水」「桂」「气」「意」「里」等字属平仄相协的韵脚，韵脚绵长而畅朗，正合词情「昂扬」的声调。词中「几年槐市槐花冷，天风又还吹起」「阳关须是醉酒，柳条休要折，争似攀桂」等句，句式长短错落而流丽；「快买扁舟，第一桥边趁流水」等句，节奏明快。整体声调由起句的清冷，到「快买扁舟」的急切，再到「大鹏九万里」的昂扬，一路攀升，正合赴试壮志的词情。

Tone pattern The syntax is built on short phrases and three-word leads: “hun ru meng li” (all as in a dream) and “qiong lin yan xi” (the joy of the Qionglin feast) stand alone as four-beat breaths marking turns of feeling, while the triads “zao cui” (hurry already), “kuai mai” (quickly buy), and “chen” (catch the current) accelerate the rhythm like a boat shooting downstream.句式上，此词善用「三字逗」与短句：「浑如梦里」「琼林宴喜」，皆以四字短句独立成意，顿挫而见情思之转；「见说道如今，早催行李。快买扁舟，第一桥边趁流水」，以「早催」「快买」「趁」三个动词连用，节奏紧凑而意气飞动；「阳关须是醉酒，柳条休要折，争似攀桂」，以「须是」「休要」「争似」三个转折词写选择，顿挫而见豪情。全词由苦读而入赴试、由赴试而入题名，句式随之由清冷转明快、由明快转昂扬，正是蒋捷词「于清丽中见豪放」的节奏美学。

Reading note The melody’s slow, level-tone long rhymes suit a lyric of mounting ambition. The music rises in step with the mood: from the chill of the opening, through the breathless departure, to the triumphal close — a single arc from cold quiet to the roc’s flight.作为南宋慢词，《风入松》的声律之美，在于以平声长韵与明快的节奏，写出科举赴试的昂扬情思。全词上阕由「几年槐市槐花冷」的清冷起笔，经「故箧重寻」的临行重温，到「快买扁舟，第一桥边趁流水」的赴试急切，声调由清冷转明快；下阕以「阳关须是醉酒」的豪情起笔，经「琼林宴喜」的登科欣喜，到「大鹏九万里」的昂扬结穴，声调由明快转昂扬。词中「快买扁舟，第一桥边趁流水」「阳关须是醉酒，柳条休要折，争似攀桂」等句，句法多变而声情相谐，正是蒋捷词「于清丽中见豪放」的体现。就全词而言，此词以昂扬的笔调写科举赴试的壮志，意象华美、节奏明快，是蒋捷词中风格最昂扬的一首，也可见其早年对功名的热望与「十年寒窗」的苦读，虽然后来的亡国现实使这份壮志成了未竟之憾，但词中的昂扬意气，仍可想见蒋捷青年时代的风发之姿。

Line by line

故箧重寻，闲书再整，犹记灯窗滋味。

I search the old book chest once more, tidy my idle books again, and still recall the savor of those lamplit study nights.

重新寻出旧日的书箧，再次整理那些闲书，还记得当年灯窗苦读的滋味。

I search out the old book boxes again, rearrange the unread volumes; still I remember the taste of the lamp-lit window.

这一句写临行前重温旧书，是此词对十年寒窗的追忆。「故箧重寻」，写重新寻出旧日的书箧——那装满了书卷的旧箧，正是多年苦读的见证；「闲书再整」，写再次整理那些闲书——临行之际，重理旧书，仿佛要与它们告别，又仿佛要从它们身上汲取力量；「犹记灯窗滋味」，写还记得当年灯窗苦读的滋味——那灯下的寒窗，那夜半的苦读，那「十年窗下无人问」的清冷，如今都化作了一句「滋味」的回味。这一句，以「重寻」「再整」两个动作写临行的重温，以「犹记」写苦读的记忆，把十年寒窗的甘苦浓缩于灯窗二字之中，正是「十年磨一剑」的士人写照，也为全词赴试的昂扬作了「厚积」的铺垫。

The line writes the rereading of old books before the journey, the ci's recollection of the ten years by the window. I search out the old book boxes again writes the old book chests brought out once more — those chests full of scrolls, the witnesses of long years of study; rearrange the unread volumes writes the old books set in order again — on the eve of departure, resetting the old books, as if bidding them farewell, as if drawing strength from them; still I remember the taste of the lamp-lit window writes the memory of those years by the lamp — the cold window under the lamp, the midnight study, the ten years by the window with none to ask, now all distilled into one word, the taste. The two actions of searching again and rearranging, plus the still-remember, compress the ten years of cold study into two words, lamp window, the portrait of the scholar's decade of grinding, laying the ground of accumulation for the ci's journey to the examination.

阳关须是醉酒，柳条休要折，争似攀桂。

The “Yangguan” farewell song must be sung over wine; do not break willow branches — how much better to pluck the cassia in the moon.

阳关一曲，须是痛饮而醉；柳条且休要折，何如去攀蟾宫之桂。

The Yangguan song calls for a drunken farewell; the willow branch need not be broken — how much better to climb and pluck the cassia.

这一句写赴试的豪情，是此词由离别转向功名的枢纽。「阳关须是醉酒」，写送别的阳关曲——王维「劝君更尽一杯酒，西出阳关无故人」，阳关本是伤别的曲调，词人却要「醉酒」，以痛饮写壮别；「柳条休要折」，反用折柳送别之俗——折柳赠别，是古人的送别礼俗，词人「休要折」，正是要打破送别的悲戚；「争似攀桂」，写何如去攀蟾宫之桂——不折柳送别，而折桂登科，正是「杨柳岸」的离愁，不若「蟾宫折桂」的豪情。这一句，以「须是」「休要」「争似」三个词写选择，把送别的悲戚尽数转为功名的豪情，正是「不为儿女情长」的士人之志。以「攀桂」对「折柳」，一进取一缠绵，意象对照鲜明，是此词最见豪情的一笔。

The line writes the bold spirit of the journey to the examination, the hinge from farewell to ambition. The Yangguan song calls for a drunken farewell takes up Wang Wei's the Yangguan parting tune — by nature a sorrowful air, and yet the poet insists on drunkenness, writing the bold parting through deep drinking; the willow branch need not be broken reverses the farewell custom of breaking the willow — the willow-break being the old farewell rite, and the poet says do not break it, breaking the sorrow of the parting; how much better to climb and pluck the cassia writes the cassia-plucking in the moon — not the willow of parting, but the cassia of success, the parting sorrow exchanged for the glory of the examination hall. The three words must, need not, how much better write the choice, turning the sorrow of farewell entirely into the boldness of ambition, the scholar's resolve of not being tied by love. Cassia set against willow, the reaching-out against the clinging, the sharpest stroke of the ci's boldness.

事业方新，大鹏九万里。

The career has just begun — the great roc rises ninety thousand li.

事业方兴未艾，正如大鹏展翅，一举九万里。

The great cause is newly begun; like the great roc, it rises ninety thousand li.

这一句是全词的结穴，以大鹏写前程远大，是此词昂扬豪情的顶点。「事业方新」，写事业方兴未艾——金榜题名之后，正是大展宏图的开始，「方新」写事业的刚刚开始、充满希望；「大鹏九万里」，用《庄子·逍遥游》「抟扶摇而上者九万里」之典，以大鹏展翅写前程无量——李白「大鹏一日同风起，扶摇直上九万里」，正是这「大鹏九万里」的先声。以「方新」写事业之始，以「九万里」写前程之远，一始一远，写尽金榜题名后的踌躇满志。这一结句，意象宏大而意气飞扬，把全词的昂扬推向顶点，正是「春风得意马蹄疾」的宋词版。然而读史者知道，蒋捷中进士不过两年而宋亡，这「大鹏九万里」终究成了未竟的壮志，读来尤见历史的苍凉。

The closing gathers the ci's feeling, writing the vast future through the great roc, the peak of the ci's elation. The great cause is newly begun writes the cause just rising — after the examination, the beginning of the grand plan, the newly the just-started, full of hope; like the great roc, it rises ninety thousand li uses the Zhuangzi's Happy Excursion allusion of the roc rising on the whirlwind for ninety thousand li, Li Bai's the roc one day rises with the wind, straight up ninety thousand li, its first echo. The newly writes the beginning, the ninety thousand li the distance, one start one reach, writing the fullness after the list is posted. The closing image grand and the spirit soaring, pushing the ci's elation to the peak, the Song ci version of the proud horse in spring breeze. And yet the reader of history knows that only two years after Jiang Jie passed the examination, the Song fell; this ninety-thousand-li roc became at last an unfulfilled ambition, and reading it now carries the desolation of history.

Study

Word focus

槐市 The Scholar-Tree Market: the book market of Han-dynasty Chang’an, shaded by scholar trees; later a poetic name for schools and scholarly gatherings. Here its cold blossoms evoke the chill and loneliness of years spent studying. 「几年槐市槐花冷」之「槐市」，以古槐市写学宫士人之地，是此词科举意象的开端。「槐市」为汉代长安的市场，因植槐树而得名，是当时太学生买卖书籍的集市，后以「槐市」泛指学宫、士人聚集之地；又暗含「三槐」之典，北宋王祐手植三槐于庭而子孙为相，以槐写功名世家之望。「几年槐市槐花冷」，写多年在学市中苦读，槐花年年开落，而功名未成，故觉其「冷」——「冷」字写尽寒窗苦读的清寂与漫长的等待。以「槐市」起笔，既点出士人身份，也暗含功名之望，正是科举意象的源头。此词以「槐市槐花冷」写多年苦读，清冷而典雅，是蒋捷词炼字的精妙处。

攀桂 To pluck the cassia: from Xi Shen, who after topping the examination called himself “one branch of the cassia of Guilin”; later a standard metaphor for passing the jinshi examination, echoing the legend of the cassia-cutter in the moon. 「争似攀桂」之「攀桂」，用「蟾宫折桂」之典，写科举登科，是此词功名意象的核心语。「攀桂」典出晋郄诜：举贤良对策第一，自喻「桂林之一枝，昆山之片玉」，后以「攀桂」「折桂」喻登科中第，正是科举功名的最高象征。词人「柳条休要折，争似攀桂」，以「攀桂」对「折柳」，一进取一缠绵，把送别的悲戚尽数转为功名的豪情——不折柳赠别，而折桂登科。以「攀桂」写科举，比直说「登科」更见意象之美与功名之重，正是「蟾宫折桂」的美好想象。此词以「攀桂」写赴试之志，豪情自见，是科举意象中最具光彩的一词，也见蒋捷早年对功名的热望。

琼林宴 The Qionglin Banquet: the feast the Song emperor gave the new jinshi graduates in the Qionglin Garden; a set phrase for the glory of examination success. 「琼林宴喜」之「琼林宴」，为宋代皇帝赐新科进士的宴席，是此词金榜题名意象的高潮。「琼林」指琼林苑，宋太祖曾在此宴请新科进士，后以「琼林宴」写登科的荣耀；「琼林宴喜」，四字写尽金榜题名后的欣喜——那皇帝赐宴的荣耀，正是天下士人毕生的梦想。以「琼林宴」写登科，比「金榜题名」更见具体与荣耀，也更有皇家气象。此词以「琼林宴喜」写中举的欣喜，紧接着「带雪絮归来，满庭春意」，写春风得意的归途，正是「春风得意马蹄疾，一日看尽长安花」的宋词版。以「琼林宴」写功名之荣，意象华美而意气昂扬，是此词科举意象的顶点，也见蒋捷早年对功名的热望。
