种德不在大,至诚天所亲。
但能存一念,何用活千人。
经笥儒风远,香山句法新。
功名付儿辈,不必在吾身。
种德不在大,至诚天所亲。
但能存一念,何用活千人。
经笥儒风远,香山句法新。
功名付儿辈,不必在吾身。
培育美德不在于规模宏大,
至诚之心自然为上天所亲近。
只要能存有这一份善念,
何必追求救活千人的功绩?
他经籍满腹,儒者风范流传久远,
他的诗句效法香山体,清新不凡。
功名利禄就交给儿孙辈去追求吧,
不必非要在我自己身上实现。
To sow virtue, greatness is not the measure;
Heaven draws near to a heart sincere and pure.
If one can but preserve this single thought,
Why need he save a thousand lives, as sought?
His scholarly winds, through classics' trove, blow far;
His verse in Xiangshan's style, fresh as a star.
Leave fame and rank to sons, their path to trace;
No need for such concerns to cloud my space.
至诚作为一种治理根基,超越了形式规模。
颂扬彭宜义种德不在大小,贵在至诚,因而为天所亲,强调品德修养的根本。
本诗为五言律诗,押平声韵。
