溫庭筠（約812—866，或824—882），本名岐，字飛卿，又作庭云、廷筠，號溫鐘馗，世稱溫方城、溫助教，太原祁（今山西祁縣）人，唐初宰相溫彥博后裔，晚唐時期詩人、詞人。溫庭筠精通音律、工詩，與李商隱齊名，時稱“溫李”。其詩辭藻華麗，濃艷精致，內容多寫閨情，少數作品對時政有所反映。其詞藝術成就在晚唐諸詞人之上，為“花間派”重要詞人，對詞的發展影響較大。在詞史上，溫庭筠與韋莊齊名，并稱“溫韋”。其詞作更是刻意求精，注重詞的文采和聲情，被尊為“花間詞派”之鼻祖?！锻稀肥瞧渌餍×钪?，又名夢江南、憶江南，主寫閨怨，全詞情真意切，語言精練含蓄而余意不盡，沒有矯飾之態和違心之語，風格清麗自然，是溫詞中別具一格的精品。望江南梳洗罷，獨倚望江樓。過盡千帆皆不是，斜暉脈脈水悠悠。腸斷白蘋洲。《英譯一》TuneofDreamofRiverSouthAftercombingandwashing,Ileanaloneovertherivertower,watching.Thousandsofboatshavesailedby,butIcan'tfindyou.Thesunshinesaskewandtheriverflowsinblue.TheWhite-WeedShoalwearsaheart-breakinghue.
