进士能毋举,偏亲可忍离。
紫芝亦良苦,负母入京师。
进士能毋举,偏亲可忍离。
紫芝亦良苦,负母入京师。
考中进士却能推举不就,
怎忍心离开年迈的亲人?
紫芝也真是历经艰辛,
背着母亲进入京城。
A scholar who refused official rank,
Could he bear to leave his ailing mother alone?
Zizhi, in hardship, showed his noble heart,
Carrying her on his back to the capital town.
弃举养亲反映个体在伦理博弈中的优先序。
赞美元德秀为奉养母亲放弃举进士,凸显孝亲与仕途的伦理抉择。
本诗为五言绝句,押平声韵。
