生甘类原宪,死不学陶朱。
但乐诗书在,未忧钟鼎无。
耻随波上下,难免鬼歔歈。
陋巷曲肱者,终朝还似愚。
生甘类原宪,死不学陶朱。
但乐诗书在,未忧钟鼎无。
耻随波上下,难免鬼歔歈。
陋巷曲肱者,终朝还似愚。
活着甘愿像原宪那样清贫,
死去也不学陶朱公致富。
只以诗书存在为乐,
从不忧虑没有钟鸣鼎食的富贵。
耻于随波逐流、上下浮沉,
却难免被鬼魂讥笑叹息。
住在陋巷、曲臂为枕的人,
整日里依然好似愚钝。
In life, I'd be content like Yuan Xian,
In death, I won't emulate Tao Zhu.
I only delight in poetry and books being here,
Never fret over lacking bell and cauldron.
Ashamed to drift up and down with the waves,
Yet hard to avoid ghosts' mockery and sighs.
In a narrow lane, one who bends his arm for a pillow,
All day long still seems a fool.
在价值认同上,坚守清贫是对士人精神的自我治理。
诗人以原宪自比甘于清贫,以陶朱公为戒不慕富贵,表达安贫乐道之志。
本诗为五言律诗,押平声韵。
