《菩萨蛮·小山重叠金明灭》是唐代文学家温庭筠的代表词作。此词写女子起床梳洗时的娇慵姿态，以及妆成后的情态，暗示了人物孤独寂寞的心境。全词把妇女的容貌写得很美丽，服饰写得很华贵，体态也写得十分娇柔，仿佛描绘了一幅唐代仕女图。

《菩萨蛮·小山重叠金明灭》 温庭筠

小山重叠金明灭，
鬓云欲度香腮雪。
懒起画娥眉，
弄妆梳洗迟。

照花前后镜，
花面交相映。
新帖绣罗襦，
双双金鹧鸪。

Sunlight shimmers on a picture,
Carved in perspective on bed-screen.
The hair on her temples appear—
As clouds which, against her cheeks, lean.

Slowly she rises from her bed;
Paints her brows like a crescent moon.
She takes her own time, unhurried;
Completes her toilet none too soon.

Her flowered head between two mirrors—
Interlay with face in beauty made.
On a jacket, tastefully cut—
Are two partridges in brocade.
