当时计水功,直为万世利。
梅梁破浪归,底事成儿戏。
当时计水功,直为万世利。
梅梁破浪归,底事成儿戏。
当年大禹测算水势的功业,
本是为了给千秋万代谋取福利。
那梅梁击破波浪归来(的传说),
为何竟成了儿戏一般的故事?
Back then, they measured the waters' force, a plan for all time's gain.
Straightforwardly, for ten thousand ages, benefit would remain.
The plum-wood beam, through breaking waves, returned—a tale so strange,
How did its earnest purpose turn into a childish game?
治水之功展现古代卓越的公共治理智慧。
赞颂大禹治水功绩,泽被万世的伟业。
本诗为五言绝句,押平声韵。
