《送东莱学士无竞》，是唐代诗人陈子昂创作的一首五律。前二句以衬垫方式来写宝剑千金珍贵、平生未认可别人，突显出王无竞才华横溢，二者之间的深厚情谊。三四句聊表惜别之情，借宝剑的千金之贵，侧面赞扬了王无竞的才志和品格。五六句借"孤松”"众木”勉励王无竞，不避风刀霜剑与严寒搏斗，不与权贵同流合污，保持顽强性格和高尚情操。末两句写诗人劝勉和鼓励友人振奋精神，亦借此警醒自身不甘沉沦，奋发有为的凌云豪情，流露出自己政治上遭受挫折的不平与愤懑。

陈子昂·《送东莱学士无竞》

宝剑千金买，生平未许人。

怀君万里别，持赠送交亲。

孤松宜晚岁，众木爱芳春。

已矣将何道，无令白发新。

Parting Gift

This sword that cost me so dear, never have I offered it to anyone. Now that you are going away—far, far away—my dear friend, let it go by your side.

Trees of the common sort delight in springtime; it's the lone pine that to the wintry season will abide.
