开元太平久,错处非一拍。
就令乏贤人,何至相仙客。
直道既雕丧,曲江遂疏斥。
汲黯困后薪,贾生罢前席。
金鉴束高阁,铁胎空数尺。
妙处难形容,英表良髣髴。
摩挲许国姿,尚想立朝色。
同时反弃置,异代长叹息。
开元太平久,错处非一拍。
就令乏贤人,何至相仙客。
直道既雕丧,曲江遂疏斥。
汲黯困后薪,贾生罢前席。
金鉴束高阁,铁胎空数尺。
妙处难形容,英表良髣髴。
摩挲许国姿,尚想立朝色。
同时反弃置,异代长叹息。
开元时期的太平持续了很久,
错误累积,并非只是一次失误。
即使当时缺乏贤能之人,
何至于去依靠一个方外之客?
正直之道已经衰败丧失,
张九龄于是被疏远排斥。
汲黯为后来的薪俸所困,
贾谊被罢免了前席顾问之位。
《金鉴》之书被束之高阁,
铁铸的塑像空有数尺之高。
其精妙之处难以形容,
其英伟仪容约略仿佛。
抚摸着这报效国家的姿态,
仍能想见他在朝堂上的神色。
与他同时代的人反而将他弃置,
后世之人只能长久地叹息。
The Kaiyuan era's peace endured so long,
Errors piled up, not just a single clap.
Even if worthy men were lacking then,
How could they turn to an immortal guest?
When upright ways were ruined and decayed,
Qujiang then faced neglect and banishment.
Ji An was troubled by the later firewood,
Jia Yi dismissed from the front mat's discourse.
The golden mirror bound and stored on high shelf,
The iron statue stands but a few feet tall.
Its wondrous essence is hard to describe,
Its heroic semblance is vaguely recalled.
Stroking the figure of one who served the state,
I still envision his court-standing demeanor.
His contemporaries instead cast him aside,
Later generations can only sigh long.
雕像凝固了盛世治理周期的转折瞬间。
借咏张九龄铁像,反思开元盛世由治转乱的深层历史教训。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
