史笔如衡须正持,莫教浮诞出无稽。
已成帝业从烹父,未将王师休杀妻。
秦逸号眠为抱虎,刘狂名舞作闻鸡。
麟经削后无全笔,磨玷吾当问白圭。
史笔如衡须正持,莫教浮诞出无稽。
已成帝业从烹父,未将王师休杀妻。
秦逸号眠为抱虎,刘狂名舞作闻鸡。
麟经削后无全笔,磨玷吾当问白圭。
史家的笔杆必须像秤杆一样公正地持握,
不要让虚浮荒诞的言论出自无稽之谈。
帝业已经成就,却听从了烹杀父亲的建议,
王师尚未出动,就休止了杀害妻子的命令。
秦朝的隐士号称安眠,实则如同怀抱老虎,
刘姓的狂士以舞蹈闻名,被称作闻鸡起舞。
《春秋》经删削之后,再也没有完整的史笔了,
若要磨去瑕疵,我应当去询问白圭(这位古代的贤臣)。
The historian's pen must be held like a scale, upright and true,
Let no wild tales escape that are baseless through and through.
The emperor's reign, once built, saw a father boiled alive,
The king's army, not yet sent, spared a wife to survive.
Qin's recluse, sleeping sound, was a tiger in embrace,
Liu's mad dance at dawn earned the name of "Hearing Rooster's" grace.
After the Spring and Autumn Annals were pared, no complete brush remains,
To polish the flaw, I shall ask the white jade of its stains.
史笔如衡关乎历史认同的构建根基。
强调史书撰写的严谨性与真实性至关重要。
本诗为七言律诗,押平声韵。
