寝苫枕干子,有暇绾秋蛇。
仁人不忍见,俗子持相夸。
寝苫枕干子,有暇绾秋蛇。
仁人不忍见,俗子持相夸。
(高宗)睡草席枕盾牌,为父守丧,
却有闲暇挥笔书写,字迹如秋蛇盘绕。
仁德之人不忍心看到这般情景,
世俗之人却拿着它互相夸耀。
Sleeping on straw, pillowing a shield, the son in mourning stayed,
Yet found spare time to twine his brush, like autumn snakes displayed.
A man of benevolence cannot bear to see such sight,
But vulgar fellows hold it up, boasting with delight.
守孝书写暗含礼制规范对个人行为的治理。
描述孝子寝苫枕块之余,以书法排遣忧思。
本诗为五言绝句,押平声韵。
