安成城头乌夜宿,啼乌未起鸡登木。
倾村入城来送君,马首摩肩袂相属。
但有庞首不识名,何物老翁出山谷。
老翁持酒前致词,家住西村大江曲。
大江两岸皆腴田,古有寅陂置官属。
自从陂废田亦荒,官中无人开旧渎。
公沿故道堰横流,陂傍秔稻年年熟。
今年虽旱翁不忧,田头已打新舂谷。
谁云此陂会当复,老父曾闻两黄鹄。
嗟哉如君不负丞,躬行阡陌劝农耕。
监司项背只相望,风谣满路胡不听。
胡不听,寅陂行,为扣天阍叫一声。

安成城头乌鸦夜晚栖息,乌鸦还未停啼,鸡已登上树木。
全村人涌入城中来为您送行,马头相摩,衣袖相连。
只知是一位德高望重的长者,不知姓名,是怎样的老翁从山谷中出来?
老翁手持酒杯上前致辞:'我家住在大江弯曲处的西村。
大江两岸都是肥沃的田地,古时设有寅陂,并有官员管理。
自从陂塘废弃,田地也荒芜了,官府中无人疏浚旧的沟渠。
您沿着故道修筑水堰,拦截横流,陂旁的粳稻年年丰收。
今年即使干旱,老翁我也不忧愁,田头已经打下新舂的稻谷。
谁说这陂塘定会恢复?老夫我曾听闻两只黄鹄的预言。
可叹啊,像您这样不负责任的县丞,亲自行走田间,劝勉农耕。
监司们前后相望,只互相观望,路上满是民谣风议,为何不听?
为何不听?这寅陂之行,我要为叩击天门而呼喊一声。'
On Ancheng's wall, crows roost as night falls deep, / Before the crows cease cawing, cocks ascend the wood.
The whole village crowds the town to bid farewell, keep / Shoulders rubbing horse-heads, sleeves linked as they stood.
Only knowing a grand elder, not his name, / What manner of old man emerges from the vale?
The elder holds wine forward, words he does proclaim: / 'My home lies by the great river's western trail.
Both banks of the great river are fertile fields wide, / Where Yin Weir once stood, with officers in charge.
Since the weir fell to ruin, the fields lay deserted, / No one in office dredged the old channel at large.
You, following the ancient course, dammed the cross-flow, / Year after year, rice by the weir ripens fine.
This year, though drought strikes, I feel no worry's blow, / At the field's head, newly hulled grain is now mine.
Who says this weir will be restored in days to come? / This old man heard two yellow swans prophesy.
Alas, like you, who does not fail as assistant some, / Treading field paths, urging farmers under the sky.
Supervisors watch each other's backs, gaze meets gaze, / Why not listen to the ballads filling the ways?
Why not listen? On Yin Weir's journey I embark, / To knock at Heaven's gate and cry out one remark.
自然景象隐喻社会周期,揭示基层治理的失序与民众认知。
通过寅陂夜景的描写,暗喻时局动荡与民生艰辛。
