多赀徒作守钱奴,伏腊无忧便有余。
世路本夷休自险,人情太密反成疎。
非图报施方为善,岂为功名始读书。
门外良田堪种秫,自牵黄犊试犂鉏。
多赀徒作守钱奴,伏腊无忧便有余。
世路本夷休自险,人情太密反成疎。
非图报施方为善,岂为功名始读书。
门外良田堪种秫,自牵黄犊试犂鉏。
财富过多只会让人成为守财奴,
四季衣食无忧便已足够。
世间的道路本是平坦的,何必自己把它变得险峻,
人情太过亲密反而会变得疏远。
行善并非为了图谋报答,
读书难道只是为了功名吗?
门外有良田可以种植高粱,
我亲自牵着黄牛去尝试耕作。
Too much wealth only makes a miserly hoarder,
With ample stores, one need not worry through winter and summer.
The world's path is smooth, yet we make it perilous ourselves,
Human bonds, when overly close, can turn into distance.
Doing good is not for expecting reward in return,
Nor is reading books merely for seeking fame and success.
Beyond my gate lies fine land fit for planting glutinous millet,
I'll lead the yellow calf myself and try the plow and hoe.
对财富治理的反思,主张简朴生活。
讽刺守财奴,倡导知足常乐的生活态度。
本诗为七言律诗,押平声韵。
