西汉十二帝,孝文最称贤。
百金惜人力,露台草芊眠。
千里却骏骨,鸾旗影迁延。
上林慎夫人,衣短无花钿。
细柳周将军,不拜容櫜鞬。
霸业固以盛,帝道或未全。
贾生多谪宦,邓通终铸钱。
谩道膝前席,不如衣后穿。
使我千古下,览之一泫然。
頼有佞幸传,贤哉司马迁。

西汉共有十二位皇帝,
汉文帝最被称颂为贤明。
他珍惜民力,停建百金之台,
露台长满茂盛的青草。
他退回千里马骨以示俭朴,
鸾旗仪仗的影子缓缓移动。
上林苑中的慎夫人,
衣着短简,没有花钿装饰。
细柳营的周亚夫将军,
身着甲胄,不行跪拜之礼。
霸业固然十分兴盛,
但帝王之道或许未尽完善。
贾谊多次遭贬谪,
邓通最终被令铸钱而亡。
空说在膝前亲近交谈,
不如身后衣衫破旧受穷。
让我在千年之后读到这些,
不禁为之潸然泪下。
幸而有《佞幸列传》的记载,
司马迁真是贤明啊!
The Western Han had twelve emperors in line,
Emperor Wen was praised as the most benign.
He spared the people's labor, a hundred gold declined,
His dew-terrace left to grass, in peace reclined.
A thousand miles he sent back the steed's bone,
His phoenix banners' shadow lingered on.
Lady Shen in Shanglin, by his throne,
Wore short plain robes, no flowery adorn.
General Zhou at Willow Camp, stern and lone,
Did not bow, armed, before the sovereign shone.
The hegemon's might was solid, widely known,
Yet the imperial way might not be fully grown.
Scholar Jia was exiled, oft to mourn,
Deng Tong ended minting coins, forlorn.
Vain to speak of knees drawn near in trust,
Better the worn-out robe behind, unjust.
Reading this, from ages past, I feel a tear,
A sudden sorrow, poignant and sincere.
Thanks to the Biographies of Favorites, here,
How wise was Sima Qian, historian clear.
通过历史周期对比,彰显仁政的治理价值。
赞颂汉文帝的仁德贤明,以史为鉴。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
