《赠花卿》是唐代伟大诗人杜甫的作品，约作于唐上元二年（761年）。全诗四句，前两句对乐曲作具体形象的描绘，是实写；后两句以天上的仙乐相夸，是遐想。因实而虚，虚实相生，将乐曲的美妙赞誉到了极度。此诗有动有静，婉转含蓄，耐人寻味。

杜甫 《赠花卿》

锦城丝管日纷纷，半入江风半入云。
此曲只应天上有，人间能得几回闻。

Along the Yellow Pathway flowers are overgrown,
Thousand of them in full bloom weigh branches down.
Butterflies linger, now and then they dance along;
Golden orioles warble with ease their timely song.
