一城秋雨豆花凉，闲倚平山望。不似年时鉴湖上，锦云香，采莲人语荷花荡。西风雁行，清溪渔唱，吹恨入沧浪。
前二句点明此曲创作时令、HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/didian/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>地点。豆荚本已藤萎叶枯，委地零落，幸得秋时之HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>雨滋润，故得重绽新HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/hua/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>花。“一城HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/qiuyu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>秋HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>雨豆HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/hua/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>花凉，闲倚平HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>山望闲。”两句HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xiejing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>写景，苍茫寥廓而HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/qiliang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>凄凉，“平HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>山”两字确定写作的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/didian/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>地点是扬州，HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shijian/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>时间是秋末豆子开HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/hua/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>花的季节，而满天HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/qiuyu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>秋HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>雨增加了迷茫的色彩。一个“闲”字，写出了当时之倚态，“望”字点出诗人之身在高处。诗人的心境在一倚一望当中HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/ziran/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>自然流露了出来。读者可以HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xiangxiang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>想象得到作者凭依在平HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>山堂的栏杆上那满面HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/chouku/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>愁苦惶惑的表情。
三、四、五句，从写眼前之景转到对已逝HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/suiyue/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>岁月的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/huiyi/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>回忆。“不似年时鉴湖上，锦云香，HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/cailian/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>采莲人晤荷HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/hua/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>花荡。”镜头一转，作者的思绪飘回到遥远的当年和遥远的绍兴鉴湖。时空转换到那段快乐的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shenghuo/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>生活情境上。湖面上有HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/hua/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>花团锦簇、翠叶送爽、红HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/hua/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>花飘香，仙境一般的画面。几位年轻HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/haoyou/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>好友指点江HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>山的情景和当下独自凭倚栏杆面对潇潇HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/qiuyu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>秋HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>雨的情景形成鲜明的对比，在这对比中抒发作者对HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/youren/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>友人的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/sinian/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>思念。
后三句作者由HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/huiyi/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>回忆昔时HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/youren/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>友人的欢聚情景回到HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xianshi2/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>现实，抒发HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/kumen/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>苦闷HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xinqing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>心情。“西HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/feng/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>风雁行，清溪渔唱”是作者所见所闻的实景。远处一行HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/dayan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>大雁在秋HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/feng/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>风中HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/jiannan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>艰难飞行，也象征作者到处HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/piaobo/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>漂泊的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/rensheng/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>人生状况。“清溪”是作者面对的河流，那里传来HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yufu2/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>渔父的歌声更加重了他的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/gudu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>孤独HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/jimo/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>寂寞之感。他的无限HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/gankai/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>感慨好像被这西HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/feng/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>风中的歌声吹进了沧浪水中一般。“吹恨”是HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/diangu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>典故满用，是要把自己的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/youyuan2/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>幽怨HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/fenmen/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>愤懑之情随着秋HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/feng/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>风而完全抛弃，完全吹入到那沧浪的清水中。作者写HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yufu2/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>渔父短歌，表达出一种寄身HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shanshui/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>山水，浪迹江湖，与世无争的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/rensheng/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>人生HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/taidu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>态度，抒写的也是一种HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/guiyin/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>归隐退逸的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/qinghuai/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>情怀。这三句诗感物HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/siren/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>思人、HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shanghuai/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>伤怀，寄寓十分深厚。
全篇所表现的内容已经超出了HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/huaiyuan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>怀远寄友的范围，曲折地表现了元代统治下HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/zhishi2/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>知识分子普遍的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/kanke/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>坎坷HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/rensheng/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>人生和备受压抑的内心世界，具有深广的内容。HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xiaoling/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>小令在HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yishu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>艺术上也很有特点，HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/kaitou/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>开头和HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/jiewei/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>结尾是现境，中间是对HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/wangshi/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>往事的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/huiyi/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>回忆，时空有两次大的转换，从HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xianshi2/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>现实到过去再回到HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xianshi2/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>现实，由眼下的扬州到遥远的绍兴再回到眼前，这种由此及彼，再由彼及此的时空转换扩展了时空和表达情感的丰富性。
