女修玄鸟开嬴始,附庸于周自非子。
由襄寖强三十世,末命昭庄逾崛起。
杀降溅血长平坑,返戈尽篡天王城。
黩兵不戢恃彊大,物忌太盛终当倾。
邯郸贾人识奇货,发谋不惜千金破。
窈窕尊前歌舞人,腹中已孕秦家祸。
怙势陵威奋余烈,怨气愁声九州裂。
虎暴狼贪天使然,六国未灭嬴先灭。
天道何曾长助彊,岂知用柔能胜刚。
君不见后来项羽战无敌,却使山河归汉王。

君不见后来项羽战无敌,却使山河归汉王。
女修吞食玄鸟卵,开启了嬴姓的起始,
作为周朝的附庸,是从非子开始。
经由秦襄公,逐渐强盛了三十代,
到秦昭王、庄襄王的末命,终于超常崛起。
在长平坑杀降卒,鲜血飞溅,
返戈一击,尽数篡夺了周天王的城邑。
穷兵黩武不知收敛,倚仗强大势力,
事物忌讳过于鼎盛,终究会倾覆。
邯郸的商人识别出奇货可居,
谋划不惜花费千金来破除障碍。
窈窕的尊前歌舞女子,
腹中已怀上了导致秦家灾祸的种子。
仗恃威势欺凌他人,奋扬剩余的暴烈,
怨气与愁声使九州大地崩裂。
如虎的残暴、如狼的贪婪是上天使其如此,
六国还未灭亡,嬴姓的秦国却先灭亡了。
天道何曾长久帮助强大者?
岂知运用柔顺反而能战胜刚强。
君不见后来的项羽战斗无敌,
却使山河最终归属了汉王刘邦。
The Mystic Bird and Nü Xiu began the Ying clan's rise,
As vassals to the Zhou, starting from Feizi's ties.
Through Xiang, they grew strong for thirty generations' span,
Till Zhao and Zhuang's last decree saw a greater clan.
Blood soaked the trenches of Changping where surrendered men fell,
Then rebels seized the royal city, a treacherous spell.
Unchecked by war, they trusted in their power and might,
But what prospers too much must crumble from its height.
A merchant of Handan saw a rare treasure's worth,
And schemed, not sparing gold to bring it forth.
Graceful dancers before the cups, with song and play,
Already carried in their wombs the Qin's doom's sway.
Relying on might, they roused the remnants of their flame,
Cries of grief and wrath tore the nine lands in blame.
Tiger's fury, wolf's greed—Heaven's will laid bare,
Six states not yet fallen, but Ying's line met despair.
When did Heaven's way ever long favor the strong?
Who knew that yielding soft could overcome the hard and long?
Have you not seen Xiang Yu, later, in battle peerless, stand,
Yet mountains and rivers returned to the Han king's hand?
追溯权力起源,展现早期政治博弈的图景。
追溯秦之先祖起源与附庸周室的历史。
