古人嗜书书不足,家贫无钱就市读。
今人收书书填屋,红牙垂签手未触。
别驾平生师古人,传癖书淫九经簏。
卢仝撑肠五千卷,邺侯插架三万轴。
河东安世工补亡,伏日郝隆便晒腹。
少时场屋学有余,行辈见推行秘书。
援毫急趁蚕食叶,袖手冷窥獭祭鱼。
十年未持紫荷橐,校雠合在天禄阁。
投身簿领聊尔耳,饱看五车夸濩落。
近者闻说新堂成,芭蕉急雨作秋声。
请君扫榻近灯火,莫歌长檠歌短檠。

古人酷爱读书,却总觉书不够多;
家境贫寒无钱买书,只好到市集去阅读。
今人收藏书籍,多得堆满了房屋;
书签垂着红牙装饰,手却从未触碰。
别驾一生以古人为师,
传癖与书淫使他沉迷于九经书箱。
像卢仝那样腹中撑起五千卷,
又如邺侯李泌插架三万轴藏书。
像河东的安世擅长补亡残缺典籍,
伏日时郝隆便晒腹中学问。
年轻时在科场学有余力,
同辈推崇他,举荐他掌管秘书之职。
挥毫疾书如蚕食桑叶般迅速,
袖手旁观似獭祭鱼般冷静审视。
十年未曾持紫荷囊担任显官,
校勘书籍正应是在天禄阁。
投身于文书簿籍暂且如此吧,
饱读五车诗书却自嘲学识疏阔。
近来听说新堂已落成,
急雨打芭蕉发出秋日声响。
请你扫净床榻靠近灯火,
莫要歌颂长灯架,且歌咏短灯架的微光。
The ancients craved books, yet books were scarce;
Poor and penniless, they read in the market's embrace.
Modern men hoard books till they fill every space;
With red labels and dangling tags, untouched they remain.
The Assistant Governor has always taken the ancients as his guide,
A bibliomaniac, his passion for the classics cannot hide.
Like Lu Tong, whose gut held five thousand scrolls' lore,
Or Lord Ye, whose shelves boasted thirty thousand more.
Like Hedong's Anshi, skilled in restoring texts lost,
Or Hao Long, who sunned his belly on Dog Days at no cost.
In youth, his learning surpassed the exam hall's demand;
His peers praised him, recommending him for the Imperial Library's stand.
His brush raced swiftly, like silkworms devouring leaves with haste;
He watched with folded sleeves, as otters lay out fish in taste.
For ten years, he hasn't held the purple lotus bag of high station;
His proofreading belongs in the Heavenly Archives' lofty station.
He threw himself into clerical work, merely to pass the days;
He feasted on five cartloads of books, boasting of his erudite ways.
Lately, I hear his new hall is complete;
The urgent rain on plantain leaves makes autumn's beat.
I beg you, sweep the couch and draw near the lamplight's gleam;
Don't sing of the tall lampstand, but of the short one's humble beam.
资源匮乏下的知识获取,体现认知突破的渴望。
描绘古人因家贫无钱购书,只得就市阅读的勤学场景。
本诗为七言古诗,押平声韵。
