育德知何宅,逢辰或见灵。
配干虽有象,作解本无形。
浃物周寰宇,遗功在杳冥。
丹青如可状,试下叶公庭。
育德知何宅,逢辰或见灵。
配干虽有象,作解本无形。
浃物周寰宇,遗功在杳冥。
丹青如可状,试下叶公庭。
培育德行的龙,它的居所在何处?
遇到祥瑞的时辰,或许能显现灵异。
与乾卦相配,虽然有其象征形象,
但作为解困者,它本是无形的。
它的恩泽遍及寰宇,润泽万物,
它遗留的功绩存在于幽深难见之处。
如果丹青绘画能够描绘出它的形貌,
不妨拿到叶公的厅堂去试一试。
Where does the virtue-nurturing dragon dwell?
In auspicious times, its spirit might appear.
Though paired with heaven, it has a traceable form,
As a liberator, it's formless and clear.
Its grace suffuses all within the cosmos,
Leaving its work in the profound unseen.
If painting could capture its likeness at all,
Try showing it in Lord Ye's court, I ween.
圣德显现体现治理的周期规律。
以龙喻德,赞颂圣德或贤才的隐现与灵应。
本诗为五言律诗,押平声韵。
