通经本训诂,讲字极声形。
未尽寸心苦,已销双鬓青。
惧如临战阵,敬若在朝廷。
此是吾家事,儿曹要细听。
通经本训诂,讲字极声形。
未尽寸心苦,已销双鬓青。
惧如临战阵,敬若在朝廷。
此是吾家事,儿曹要细听。
通晓经书,根本在于训诂之学,
讲解文字,要穷究其音韵与形体。
尚未耗尽这一片苦心的艰辛,
双鬓的黑发却已早早斑白消逝。
要心怀畏惧,如同亲临战阵,
要持守恭敬,仿佛身在朝廷。
这是我们家族传承的要事,
孩子们啊,你们定要仔细聆听。
To master the classics, one must start with exegesis and gloss.
To expound a word, probe its sound and form to the extreme.
Before the toil of this inch-heart could be fully spent,
Already the dark locks at my temples have faded away.
Tremble as if standing before a battlefield arrayed,
Revere as if serving within the imperial court's hall.
This is the very business of our family's way,
My sons, you must listen with care, one and all.
训诂之学是构建文化认同的根基性认知活动。
教导儿子通晓经书根本在于训诂,讲字需究声形。
本诗为五言律诗,押平声韵。
