善学必探本,知本贵善养。
种木既得地,柯叶日滋长。
纷纷绮语工,汩汩良心丧。
多闻竟无益,不如鸡犬放。
善学必探本,知本贵善养。
种木既得地,柯叶日滋长。
纷纷绮语工,汩汩良心丧。
多闻竟无益,不如鸡犬放。
善于学习一定要探究根本;
知道根本的可贵在于善于培养。
种植树木已经得到了适宜的土地,
枝干和叶子便一天天茁壮生长。
纷繁华丽的言辞虽然工巧,
却使良心在奔流中沦丧。
博闻广识最终竟毫无益处,
不如像鸡犬一样放任自适。
True learning must probe the root;
Knowing the root, one should nurture it well.
A tree planted in fertile ground,
Its branches and leaves daily thrive and swell.
The ornate words, in profusion, are skillfully wrought,
Yet the conscience, in turmoil, is utterly lost.
Much hearing, in the end, yields no gain;
Better to let chickens and dogs roam free, at no cost.
强调认知的根本性,是治理学问的基础。
阐述治学须探究根本并善于涵养的道理。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
