太古民淳事简稀,圣人牛首号包羲。
如今四海皆人面,心似山川更崄巇。
太古民淳事简稀,圣人牛首号包羲。
如今四海皆人面,心似山川更崄巇。
上古时代民风淳朴,事务稀少简单。
那位圣人长着牛首,被尊称为伏羲。
如今天下四海之内,人人都是人的面孔,
但内心却比山川更加险恶崎岖。
In ancient times, the people were simple, affairs were few and sparse.
The sage, with an ox-head, was called Fu Xi.
Nowadays, all under heaven bear human faces,
Yet hearts are more treacherous than mountains and streams.
借古喻今,反思社会治理的原始理想。
追忆太古民风淳朴、圣人伏羲治世简明的理想时代。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
