人生堂堂七尺身,本与圣哲均称人。
唐虞乃可让天下,光被万世常如新。
哀哉末俗去古远,斵丧太朴浇全淳。
豆羮箪食辄动色,攘窃乃至忘君亲。
锱铢必先计利害,讵肯冒死求成仁。
不欺当从一念始,自古孝子为忠臣。
人生堂堂七尺身,本与圣哲均称人。
唐虞乃可让天下,光被万世常如新。
哀哉末俗去古远,斵丧太朴浇全淳。
豆羮箪食辄动色,攘窃乃至忘君亲。
锱铢必先计利害,讵肯冒死求成仁。
不欺当从一念始,自古孝子为忠臣。
人生堂堂正正七尺之躯,
本与圣贤哲人同被称为人。
唐尧虞舜尚且能够禅让天下,
光辉覆盖万世,常如崭新。
可悲啊!末世的流俗离古道已远,
斫丧了太初的质朴,使纯厚变得浇薄。
为一豆羹、一箪食就动容变色,
进而偷窃抢夺,乃至忘却君王与双亲。
锱铢小利也必定先计较利害,
怎肯冒死以求成就仁德?
不欺瞒应当从一念之诚开始,
自古以来,孝子方能成为忠臣。
A man's life, a full seven-foot frame so grand,
Was born equal to sages, all of humankind.
In the age of Yao and Shun, the world could be resigned,
Their light shines through all ages, ever fresh and unconfined.
Alas! Modern customs stray far from the ancient way,
The pristine simplicity is lost, diluted day by day.
For a bowl of bean soup, men's faces change with greed,
To the point of stealing, forgetting ruler and kin in deed.
They weigh the slightest gain and loss with utmost care,
How would they risk their lives for benevolence to bear?
Honesty must begin with a single thought's pure start,
Since ancient times, a filial son becomes a loyal heart.
从认同视角,探讨个体与圣贤的价值对等性。
诗人以堂堂七尺之躯自比圣哲,抒发对人生价值与尊严的肯定。
本诗为七言古诗,押平声韵。
