蘇軾（1036-1101 A.D.），是北宋著名的文學家，在詞的發展上貢獻尤多。在他三百多首詞作中，較膾炙人口之作多作於黃州五年謫居生活中。其中＜浣溪沙＞五首詞，在內容主旨方面，具現了蘇軾在黃州的生活、情感及思想；在物材方面，偏好運用白、青、紅三種顏色意象以呈顯作者深層的情感；在事材方面，善於以典故表達豐富的義蘊；在章法結構方面，善用歸納、演繹、因果及虛實交迭的方式巧妙地組合文詞。而且，這五首詞在運用各種章法之時，形成了多樣的美感效果。黃州＜浣溪沙＞五首，可說是東坡黃州作品中的佳作。

　　　　　Su Shih(1036-1101), one of the well-known Tz'u-poets of the Sung Dynasty, contributed greatly to the development of the Tz'u genre. His most outstanding, and most popular, Tz'u-poems were primarily composed during his five years of exile to Hwan Chow. Among these, five "Wan-his-sha" poems in particular reflected his life- style, feelings and thoughts during this period. As for the use of imagery, white, green and red express the poet's deepest emotions of delight, lightheartedness and enthusiasm, respectively; the allusions are succinct and rich in meaning; the syntactic and semantic structures are primarily inductive, deductive, antecedent-consequent and abstract-concrete, and involve the skillful organization of words. Most of all, by mixing different methods within a single structure, these five Tz'u-poems are, in aesthetic terms, remarkably diverse. These five poems are therefore the ones of the most important works of Su Shih.
