先生秦博士,秦礼颇能熟。
量主欲有为,两生皆不欲。
草具一王仪,群豪果知肃。
黄金既遍赐,短衣亦已续。
儒术自此凋,何为反初服。

儒术自此凋,何为反初服。
先生曾是秦朝的博士官,
对于秦朝的礼仪颇为熟谙。
他揣度君主想要有所作为,
但两位儒生却都不愿参与。
他草拟了一套帝王的礼仪制度,
群雄豪杰果然因此知晓肃敬。
黄金已经普遍赏赐下去,
连破损的短衣也已续补完毕。
儒家学术从此凋零衰败,
为何他反而穿回了最初的布衣?
A learned scholar in the Qin court's employ,
Well-versed in its rites, his knowledge to deploy.
He gauged his lord's ambition, vast and grand,
But two old masters would not lend a hand.
He drafted rituals for a royal state;
The proud nobles then learned to bow, sedate.
When gold was lavished on them, one and all,
Even short coats were mended at his call.
Since then, Confucian arts began to fade.
Why did he then resume the humble grade?
通秦礼汉制展现制度变迁中的认知适应与博弈。
写叔孙通精通秦礼,后为汉制礼,暗含对变通与守礼的思考。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
