迁善以美身,讲学以尽性。
能为可行尔,用舍固有命。
天方斲斯文,鲁叟虚历聘。
黎元则可哀,穷死吾何病。
迁善以美身,讲学以尽性。
能为可行尔,用舍固有命。
天方斲斯文,鲁叟虚历聘。
黎元则可哀,穷死吾何病。
通过改过迁善来完善自身,
通过讲习学问来穷尽本性。
只能尽力去做可行之事,
被任用或舍弃本由天命注定。
上天正在摧残这礼乐文明,
孔子当年也是徒然四处应聘。
黎民百姓的境遇实在可哀,
我穷困至死又有何心病?
To better oneself by embracing virtue,
To explore learning and fulfill one's nature.
One can only strive for what is attainable;
To serve or withdraw is fated by heaven.
Now Heaven seems to ruin this culture's thread,
Like Confucius, who roamed with offers vain.
The common folk—their plight is truly sad,
But in my poverty and death, what pain?
将个人修养纳入对理想社会治理的认知框架。
阐述修身向善、讲学穷理的人生追求,体现了儒家注重道德完善与学问探究的价值观。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
