在古代中国文学中，丁香常被用来象征爱情和思念。其中，唐代诗人陆龟蒙的《丁香》一诗更是将这种情感表达得淋漓尽致。以下是该诗的原文及翻译：
原文：
丁香啊，你为何总是如此娇艳动人？
你的芬芳弥漫着春天的气息，令人陶醉。
你的美丽如同初恋的情人，让人无法忘怀。
你的忧伤又如别离的痛苦，使人心痛不已。
你的身影在月光下显得更加婀娜多姿，
仿佛是那传说中的仙女下凡来到人间。
你的眼泪如同珍珠般璀璨，洒落在大地上，
化作了一片片美丽的丁香花海。
你的香气扑鼻而来，让人心旷神怡，
仿佛置身于一个梦幻般的仙境之中。
你的色彩斑斓夺目，犹如彩虹般绚烂，
给人带来了无尽的惊喜和感动。
你也有着让人心碎的一面，
当你凋零时，整个世界都变得黯淡无光。
你的离去如同失去了生命中最重要的一部分，
让人无法承受这突如其来的打击。
丁香啊，你是爱情的象征，也是思念的寄托，
在你的身上，我们看到了爱情的美好与痛苦。
愿你永远绽放着迷人的光彩，
让我们的心灵得到永恒的慰藉。

Why are you always so delicate and charming, lilac?
Your fragrance fills the air with the breath of spring, intoxicating.
Your beauty is like that of a first love, unforgettable.
Your melancholy is like the pain of parting, heartbreaking.
Under the moonlight, your figure becomes even more graceful,
as if a fairy from legends has descended to the mortal world.
Your tears sparkle like pearls, falling to the ground,
transforming into a vast sea of beautiful lilac flowers.
Your scent envelops us, refreshing our spirits,
as if we were in a dreamlike wonderland.
Your colors dazzle, as vibrant as a rainbow,
bringing endless joy and emotion.
Yet, you also have a heartbreaking side,
when you wither, the world becomes dull and lifeless.
Your departure feels like losing the most important part of life,
an unbearable blow that no one can endure.
Lilac, you symbolize love and serve as a vessel for longing,
in you, we see both the beauty and agony of love.
May you forever bloom with enchanting brilliance,
bringing eternal solace to our souls.
