詩人梅丹理成為中國詩歌網第一位美國註冊詩人

此時，北京寒風凜冽，中國詩歌網編輯部卻因為一位熱情的美國詩人到訪，而顯得格外熱烈。近日，美國詩人、翻譯家、漢學家梅丹理（Denis Mair）慕名前來訪問中國詩歌網，在全面了解網站之後，他「產生了極大的興趣」並現場註冊，成為中國詩歌網第一位美國註冊詩人。

他還提到這樣的現象：紐約街頭有很多歌手彈吉他，這些歌手都有一定的水平，因為他們敢於通過這樣的方法來挑戰自己，提高自己的品質。在中國，現在有很多不同工作領域的人都在寫詩，用詩表達自己對社會生活的觀察和體會。中國詩歌網稿源廣泛，欄目豐富，提供了很難得的平台，詩人們不斷挑戰自我，相互勉勵，終能一步步提高品質。

訪武侯祠有感

梅丹理

歷代文人的著作中

只要到過成都

都會留下關於武侯祠的詩

2017年「成都國際詩歌周」

為我們安排了一次雅集

那確實是一個幽靜的去處

我因聽漂亮導遊的講解

忘了仰望杜甫提到過的參天柏樹

導遊陳述了諸葛亮的時代

三國鼎立，各路草莽稱雄而起

導遊帶我們瞻仰劉備的像

寬宏大量的君子，發誓重建漢室

有遊客故意提問，是皇帝正室的後代嗎？

導遊則強調武侯的忠誠，這個曠世奇才

被劉備感化，只為憂國憂民的君主出山

有遊客說，在亂世中總要抱一個山頭

無論如何，看到歷史人物受到神般的尊奉

為這次雅集營造了一股肅靜的氣氛

一個偉人在這裡跨越了人與神的界限

但他被神化的過程已屬過去，而現在

此地已成為人文活動的場所

從人到神到人，是一個審美化的過程

它特別具有中國文人味道的轉換

這次雅集啊，令我感覺回了一次家

After Visiting Zhuge Liang』s Shrine

Through the ages, in collections of literati works

Anyone who made a trip to Chengdu

Would leave a poem about Zhuge Liang"s shrine.

The 2017 "Chengdu International Poetry Week"

Arranged a salon-style gathering for us there;

Indeed the feel of the place is quiet and secluded.

I recall from Du Fu"s poem that it had towering cypresses,

But I was listening to the pretty guide and forgot to look.

The tour guide summed up Zhuge Liang"s era:

In a trifecta of kingdoms, many upstart heroes contended.

She worshipfully directed our gaze to Liu Bei"s statue:

Lordly and hugely tolerant, bent on restoring the Han.

A listener needled her: Was he a legitimate successor?

She stressed Zhuge"s loyalty, a wizard who crowned his age,

Moved by Liu"s selflessness, he left his mountain idyll.

A heckler quipped: in chaotic times people rally around figureheads.

At any rate, seeing a historical figure treated so devoutly

Helped to establish a solemn atmosphere for our salon,

Because a man straddled the line between human and divine,

But his apotheosis happened in the past, and now this place

Has been restored as a venue for humanistic gatherings.

From human to divine to human, it was all an aesthetic process.

This kind of conversion gives a taste of the literati ethos,

Which is why joining in this salon felt like coming home.
