炊沙自昔终难饱,坎土于今乃可餐。
翻笑青泥变青石,嵇康无分啜仙丹。
炊沙自昔终难饱,坎土于今乃可餐。
翻笑青泥变青石,嵇康无分啜仙丹。
从前炊煮沙砾终究难以果腹,
如今这低洼的泥土却可以当作餐食。
反而可笑那青泥化作了青石,
就像嵇康一样,没有缘分啜饮仙丹。
To cook with sand—since ancient times, it never sates one's need;
But now the sunken earth itself becomes a tasty feed.
How laughable that azure mud has turned to azure stone—
Like Ji Kang, who had no share in the elixir's boon.
从炊沙到坎土的转变,是对资源有效性的认知突破。
以炊沙难饱反衬坎土可餐,暗喻求道须得其法与真谛。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
