万石躬行不读书,公孙张禹号名儒。
诗书何罪工发冢,自是诸生爱颔珠。
万石躬行不读书,公孙张禹号名儒。
诗书何罪工发冢,自是诸生爱颔珠。
万石君一家躬行实践而不读诗书,
而公孙弘、张禹之流却被称作著名的儒者。
《诗经》《尚书》有什么罪过,竟被精于盗墓的人利用?
这不过是那些儒生偏爱(像)蛤蟆额下明珠(般的虚名)罢了。
The Wan family practiced virtue without reading books,
Yet Gongsun and Zhang Yu were hailed as famed Confucian scholars.
What crime did the Books of Songs and History commit, to be so skilled in tomb-robbing?
It was merely these scholars' love for the pearl in the toad's forehead.
对历史人物的评价,涉及对知识权威与真实认知的博弈。
借古讽今,批判名不副实的伪儒,强调真才实学。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
