故宁戚以俭,罔或易而奢。
致得千载下,人称问礼家。
故宁戚以俭,罔或易而奢。
致得千载下,人称问礼家。
所以他宁愿坚守俭朴而承受清苦,
绝不改变而趋向奢侈。
以至于千年以后,
人们仍称赞这是探问礼制的家族。
Thus he chose hardship with thrift as his creed,
Never exchanging it for lavish display.
So that a thousand years hence, indeed,
People praise the house that inquired of rite's way.
俭奢之辨关乎治理成本与认同维系
崇尚节俭而反对奢易,强调固守俭德之重要
本诗为五言绝句,押平声韵。
