昔在帝尧,咨舜一语。
允执厥中,舜亦命禹。
危微精一,义复兼举。
三圣授受,独盛前古。
昔在帝尧,咨舜一语。
允执厥中,舜亦命禹。
危微精一,义复兼举。
三圣授受,独盛前古。
从前在帝尧的时代,
他咨询舜时说了至关重要的一句话。
"允执厥中"(诚实地持守中道),
舜后来也以此告诫禹。
"人心惟危,道心惟微,惟精惟一",其含义
在尧舜禹的传承中一并被举出阐明。
这三位圣人的心法传授,
其盛况独冠于往古。
In ancient times, Emperor Yao, with care,
Consulted Shun with a single phrase to share.
"Hold fast the Mean," was the counsel profound,
Which Shun to Yu also did expound.
Danger, subtlety, essence, and oneness—all combined,
The meaning of these terms was thus defined.
Three sages passed the teaching, hand to hand,
A legacy unparalleled in the ancient land.
禅让制是权力和平交接的治理典范。
追述帝尧咨询舜的典故,体现禅让与政治传承。
本诗为四言古诗,押平声韵。
