古人惟恃众心城,何事秦皇苦好兵。
本设函关禁奸诈,不知半夜有鸡鸣。
古人惟恃众心城,何事秦皇苦好兵。
本设函关禁奸诈,不知半夜有鸡鸣。
古人只依靠万众一心的团结作为坚固的城池。
为什么秦始皇却如此热衷于用兵征战呢?
他设置函谷关本是为了禁止奸诈之徒通行。
却不知道半夜会有鸡鸣(导致关隘失守)。
The ancients relied solely on the united hearts of the people as their fortress.
Why then did the First Emperor of Qin so ardently favor warfare?
He established the Hangu Pass to guard against deceit and treachery.
Little did he know that a rooster would crow at midnight.
治理视角:民心认同是政权稳固的根本周期。
借古讽今,批判秦皇穷兵黩武,强调民心才是坚固的城池。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
