两都秦与洛,派自赤帝精。
譬如同根木,南枯北犹荣。
哀哉千里草,四百终火行。
穷新何为者,欺孤易天明。
中间十五载,无汝元城名。
谁尸春秋笔,恕彼投阁生。
当时有凡例,党中独垂情。
区区考亭叟,再主斯文盟。
两都秦与洛,派自赤帝精。
譬如同根木,南枯北犹荣。
哀哉千里草,四百终火行。
穷新何为者,欺孤易天明。
中间十五载,无汝元城名。
谁尸春秋笔,恕彼投阁生。
当时有凡例,党中独垂情。
区区考亭叟,再主斯文盟。
西都长安与东都洛阳,
其血脉源自赤帝(汉高祖)的精魂。
好比同根而生的树木,
南枝枯萎了北枝却还繁荣。
可悲啊,那绵延千里的草(指王莽的“新”朝),
汉朝四百年气数终归于火德(东汉)。
王莽的“新”朝算是什幺呢?
欺侮孤儿(汉平帝),篡改了天命。
中间那十五年时光,
元城县里没有你(扬雄)的名字。
是谁执掌《春秋》褒贬的史笔,
宽恕了那位投阁求生的书生(扬雄)?
当时(修史)自有体例规范,
却在同党中独独对他垂怜。
那位来自考亭的迁腐老夫子(朱熹),
再次主宰了这文坛的盟约。
The two capitals, Qin and Luo,
Their lineage from the Red Emperor's essence flows.
Like trees sharing the same root, you know,
The south withers while the north still grows.
Alas, the grass spanning a thousand miles,
The four hundred years end in Fire's reign.
What was Wang Mang's New Dynasty, with its wiles?
Bullying the orphan, changing heaven's domain.
In between, fifteen years passed by,
Without your name in Yuancheng to be found.
Who wielded the Spring and Autumn pen, so high,
Forgiving that scholar who jumped from the tower, bound?
There were rules and precedents at that time,
Within the faction, he alone received grace.
That petty scholar from Kaoting, in his prime,
Once more presided over this culture's race.
追溯都城谱系,是对历史周期中权力正统性的一种宏大叙事。
诗人追溯两都历史渊源至赤帝之精,以宏大视角咏叹历史传承与正统。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
