陶陶太古民风淳,诈伪不萌情意真。
何尝吐纳事屈伸,往往皆为百岁人。
中古便似秋冬辰,和气无复如阳春。
机巧百出妄喜嗔,七十者稀以为珍。
我翁逍遥常幅巾,朴素几与太古邻。
饮食淡泊厌膻荤,衣裘不择敝与新。
日日娱嬉寂寞滨,甘与圣世为遗民。
天锡遐龄登九旬,回视同庚皆土尘。
炯然双眸且精神,坚彊直可齐松椿。
儿孙虽不侧朝绅,家庭礼法粗克遵。
白酒年年造逡巡,膝下戏彩娱慈亲。

上古的民风淳朴,人们安乐自得,
没有欺诈虚伪,情意真挚。
何曾需要练习吐纳、屈伸的养生之术,
却往往都能成为百岁老人。
中古以来便好似进入了秋冬时节,
祥和之气不再像阳春那般温暖。
机巧百出,妄生喜怒,
能活到七十岁的人已很稀少,被视为珍宝。
我的老父逍遥自在,常戴幅巾,
生活朴素,几乎与上古之风为邻。
饮食清淡,厌恶腥膻荤食,
穿衣不挑新旧,敝衣新裘皆可。
每日在寂静的水边娱乐嬉戏,
甘愿在圣明之世做一位避世的遗民。
上天赐予他长寿,年登九十高龄,
回看同辈之人都已化为尘土。
他双目炯炯有神,精神矍铄,
身体强健简直可与松树椿树相比。
儿孙们虽然不在朝廷担任高官,
但家庭礼法大致都能遵守。
年年酿造白酒,从容不迫,
在膝下彩衣嬉戏,娱乐慈祥的父亲。
The ancient folk were simple, pure and free,
No guile or falsehood, hearts sincere and true.
They never strained with breath-control, you see,
Yet often lived a hundred years, a sturdy crew.
The middle age turned bleak like autumn's day,
The gentle warmth of spring could not endure.
Craft and cunning breed both joy and dismay,
To reach three score and ten is now secure.
My father, carefree, often dons a hood,
His plainness neighbors ancient ways and good.
He eats but lightly, shuns the rich and strong,
His clothes, be old or new, he wears lifelong.
Each day he joys by the lonely river shore,
Content to be a hermit evermore.
Heaven grants long life, he's ninety years of age,
His peers are dust, he turns another page.
His eyes are bright, his spirit keen and clear,
His strength like pine and cedar, year by year.
Though sons and grandsons hold no courtly might,
At home they keep the rites and do what's right.
Yearly we brew our wine, though slow the pace,
To cheer our loving father with good grace.
对淳朴社会的认同源于对治理失序的反思。
赞美上古民风淳朴,寄托对理想社会的向往。
本诗为七言古诗,押平声韵。
