穹壤纷众羽,固有仁不仁。
鸮凤虽异性,同为阴阳根。
惟彼希有鸟,于禽集大成。
力可振海岳,翂翐似无能。
鲲鹏侈变化,比予尔何曾。
群鷇偃下风,举受翼卵恩。
万里不足飞,千载始一鸣。
远之不可疏,即之不可亲。
地维缺不震,天柱拆不惊。
安得以宠辱,而能累其身。
世固有大物,天地间气生。
卑卑局耳目,夫谁识其真。
道大固难同,安能抗世情。
何如任毁誉,徜然忘我人。
不谐众人口,而谐万世心。
穹壤纷众羽,固有仁不仁。
鸮凤虽异性,同为阴阳根。
惟彼希有鸟,于禽集大成。
力可振海岳,翂翐似无能。
鲲鹏侈变化,比予尔何曾。
群鷇偃下风,举受翼卵恩。
万里不足飞,千载始一鸣。
远之不可疏,即之不可亲。
地维缺不震,天柱拆不惊。
安得以宠辱,而能累其身。
世固有大物,天地间气生。
卑卑局耳目,夫谁识其真。
道大固难同,安能抗世情。
何如任毁誉,徜然忘我人。
不谐众人口,而谐万世心。
天地之间,众鸟纷繁,
本就有仁与不仁之分。
猫头鹰与凤凰虽然禀性不同,
却同为阴阳之根本。
唯有那希有之鸟,
在禽类中集大成就于一身。
力量足以震动大海山岳,
但振翅时却显得柔弱无能。
鲲鹏夸耀其变化之能,
但与您相比,它们又算得了什幺?
群雏在它的风下俯首,
全都蒙受它翼卵的恩泽。
万里之遥不足以尽展其飞,
千年之久才鸣叫一声。
疏远它,却无法真正疏离;
亲近它,却无法真正亲密。
地维断裂,它不震惊;
天柱崩塌,它不惊慌。
怎能因为宠幸或侮辱,
而拖累它的身心?
世间本有伟大的存在,
是天地间元气所生。
见识浅陋者局限于耳目所见,
谁能认识其真谛?
道至大,本就难以苟同,
怎能与世情对抗?
不如任凭毁誉加身,
恬然忘却自我与他人。
不迎合众人的口舌,
而契合万世的人心。
Under heaven and earth, feathers abound in multitude,
Inherently, some are benevolent, some not.
Owl and phoenix, though of different nature,
Share the same root of yin and yang.
Only that rare bird,
Among fowl, gathers great completeness.
Its strength can shake seas and mountains,
Yet fluttering, it seems without ability.
The Kun-peng boasts of transformation—
Compared to you, what have they achieved?
Flocks of fledglings bow beneath its wind,
All receive the grace of its wings and eggs.
Ten thousand li is not enough for its flight,
A thousand years, only then it sings once.
Distance it, yet you cannot estrange it;
Approach it, yet you cannot be intimate.
The earth's cords break, yet it does not quake;
The sky's pillar splits, yet it is not alarmed.
How could favor or disgrace,
Ever burden its being?
The world indeed has great beings,
Born of the vital breath between heaven and earth.
Petty minds confined to eyes and ears,
Who can recognize their truth?
The Way is vast, hard to align with—
How can one oppose worldly sentiments?
Better to let praise and blame be,
Serenely forgetting self and others.
Not harmonizing with the mouths of the crowd,
But harmonizing with the hearts of ten thousand ages.
众羽纷纭揭示对人性善恶的深层认知困境。
以稀有鸟喻人,感慨世间善恶并存。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
