古代读书的权利基本被男人垄断，女孩子识字都风毛菱角，成为诗人更罕见。
受影视剧影响，大家熟悉的有文化的唐代女性是武曌、上官婉儿、太平公主等。其实唐代最著名的女诗人是号称“四大女诗人”之一的薛涛。
另外三位是鱼玄机、李冶和刘采春。
薛涛（约768年—832年），字洪度，长安人，唐代乐伎、清客，蜀中女校书、诗人。今存诗作90余首，收于《锦江集》。
今天学习两首。
其一
送友人
水国蒹葭夜有霜，月寒山色共苍苍。
谁言千里自今夕，离梦杳如关塞长。
Farewell to a Friend
Waterside reeds are covered with hoarfrost at night;
The green mountains are drowned in the cold blue moonlight.
Who says a thousand miles will separate us today?
My dream will follow you though you are far away.
此诗的最大特点是隐含了《诗经》名篇《秦风·蒹葭》的意境，篇幅虽短、字面青空，却无限蕴籍、无数曲折。
其二
牡丹去春零落暮春时，泪湿红笺怨别离。常恐便同巫峡散，因何重有武陵期。传情每向馨香得，不语还应彼此知。只欲栏边安枕席，夜深闲共说相思。
To the Peony Flower
Petal by petal you fell in late spring last year;
Since you are gone, my paper's wet with tear on tear.
I am afraid you'd vanish like cloud in a dream.
How can I wish to see you on Peach Blossom Stream?
Your fragrance sweet reveals you have a loving heart;
Your silence shows we know each other far apart.
By the side of your balustrade I'd only sleep;
To tell you how I long for you when night is deep.
此诗是薛涛为元稹所作。
唐宪宗元和四年元稹出使蜀地，与薛涛作诗酬答，相互倾心成为知己。相别时做此诗赠元稹归京。
此诗表达了浓烈的情感，千年后读来仍觉炙热。
