QR code
"洛神賦" by 曹植 is a classical Chinese poem written during the late 2nd to early 3rd century period of the Han dynasty. This lyrical work is a piece of literary art that explores themes of beauty, love, and the divine, depicting the poet's encounter with the goddess of the Luo River, known as 宓妃. In the poem, the narrator recounts his journey back from the capital, where he has a profound vision
of a stunning beauty by the riverside. He describes her ethereal appearance with flowing similes, comparing her to autumn blossoms and spring pines. This enchanting figure stirs emotions of admiration and longing within him. As their paths seem destined to cross, the narrator grapples with feelings of love and the pain of separation from the godly beauty. The poem artfully captures the essence of fleeting love, inner turmoil, and the connection between the mortal and the divine, resonating with a deep sense of reverie and melancholy.
