射虎行赠射虎人
昨日射虎南山颠，悲风萧萧眼力穿。今日射虎北山下，虎血溅衣山路夜。
朝朝射虎无空归，家人望断孤云飞。度岭逾山弓力健，虎肉共分不辞远。
府司帖下问虎皮，高枕髑髅醉不知。虎昔咆哮百兽走，一死宁知在君手。
鼻端出火耳生风，拔剑起舞气如虹。昨夜空村见渔火，牛羊不牧犬长卧。
作诗赠君毛发寒，烦君为我谢上官。君不见昔日刘昆称长者，虎北渡河不须射。
Yesterday I shot a tiger at the southern foothill, with sorrowful wind and piercing eyes. Today I shot a tiger at the northern foothill, with tiger's blood splashed on my clothes in the night on the mountain path.
Every day I go shooting without returning empty-handed, and my family watches in vain the lonely cloudlets in the sky. Across mountains and over hills, I shoot with strong and healthy bow, and share the tiger meat without hesitation even if it's far away.
The government officials ask about the tiger skin, and I sleep peacefully even after drinking so much that my head feels like a skull. The tiger used to roar and make other animals run away, but now it lies dead in your hands. It's hard to believe that this fearless beast would end up like this.
My nose is burning, my ears are swishing in the wind, and I draw my sword to dance with anger like a rainbow. Last night, the village was dark except for the fishing lights, and the cows and sheep were not herded, the dogs were sleeping all the time.
I write this poem to you with goosebumps, please help me thank the officials. Have you ever heard of Liu Kun, an honest and upright person who didn't need to shoot the tiger when it crossed the river to the north?
《射虎行赠射虎人》这首诗，以其生动的画面、深沉的情感和富含哲理的叙事，向我们展现了一位射虎人的英勇生活及其背后的复杂心境，同时也折射出人与自然、权力与道德之间的微妙关系。
开篇“昨日射虎南山颠，悲风萧萧眼力穿。今日射虎北山下，虎血溅衣山路夜。”两句，通过时间的跳跃，迅速勾勒出一个在崇山峻岭间不断追寻、与虎搏斗的英勇形象。悲风萧萧，不仅描绘了环境的凄清，也暗含了射虎人内心的孤寂与决绝。虎血溅衣，画面触目惊心，展现了射虎人的勇猛无畏，同时也透露出一种生存的残酷。
“朝朝射虎无空归，家人望断孤云飞。”这句转而从射虎人的家庭角度出发，家人的期盼与担忧，与射虎人的孤独旅程形成鲜明对比，增添了情感的深度。家人望眼欲穿的形象，让人感受到这份职业背后沉重的家庭责任与牺牲。
“度岭逾山弓力健，虎肉共分不辞远。”这里展现了射虎人不仅武艺高强，而且心地善良，愿意将猎物分享给需要的人，体现了他的慷慨与淳朴。
“府司帖下问虎皮，高枕髑髅醉不知。”这句笔锋一转，揭示了射虎人所面临的另一种压力——来自官方对虎皮的需求。射虎人虽勇猛，但在权力面前，也不得不妥协，甚至以一种近乎麻木的态度面对这种不公，这种无奈与悲哀，让人深思。
“虎昔咆哮百兽走，一死宁知在君手。”诗人借虎之昔日威风，反衬其今日之悲凉，暗示生命的无常与宿命的不可抗拒，同时也流露出对虎这一自然强者的同情。
“鼻端出火耳生风，拔剑起舞气如虹。”这几句通过夸张的手法，再次展现了射虎人的英勇与豪迈，但在这激昂的背后，似乎也隐藏着一种对自我价值的寻求与肯定。
“昨夜空村见渔火，牛羊不牧犬长卧。”这句描绘了一幅宁静而又略带荒凉的乡村夜景，与前文的紧张刺激形成鲜明对比，暗示了射虎行为对乡村生活的影响，以及对和平生活的向往。
最后，“作诗赠君毛发寒，烦君为我谢上官。君不见昔日刘昆称长者，虎北渡河不须射。”诗人以诗相赠，表达了对射虎人的敬佩与同情，同时借古喻今，提到历史上以德行感化猛兽的刘昆，暗示真正的勇者应以德服人，而非以力制暴，流露出对和谐共生的理想社会的向往。
整首诗通过对射虎人生活的细腻描绘，不仅展现了个人的英勇与牺牲，也深刻反映了人与自然、权力与道德之间的复杂关系，引人深思。
