买地不肥实,其繁系耕凿。
良田少锄理,兰焦香亦薄。
勿以听者迷,故使宫征错。
谁言三岁童,还能分善恶。
孜孜日求益,犹恐业未博。
况我性顽蒙,复不勤修学。
有如朝暮食,暂亏忧陨获。
若使无六经,贤愚何所托。
买地不肥实,其繁系耕凿。
良田少锄理,兰焦香亦薄。
勿以听者迷,故使宫征错。
谁言三岁童,还能分善恶。
孜孜日求益,犹恐业未博。
况我性顽蒙,复不勤修学。
有如朝暮食,暂亏忧陨获。
若使无六经,贤愚何所托。
购买的土地如果不肥沃坚实,
它的丰饶就依赖于辛勤耕作。
良田如果缺少锄草打理,
兰花也会枯焦,香气淡薄。
不要因为听者迷惑,
就故意使宫商音调错乱。
谁说三岁的孩童,
还不能分辨善恶?
我每日孜孜不倦求取进益,
仍担心学业不够广博。
何况我天性顽劣愚蒙,
又不勤奋钻研学问。
这好比每日的朝食与暮食,
暂时短缺就担忧没有收成。
假使世上没有六经,
贤者与愚人又将依托什么?
If land bought is not fertile and rich,
Its abundance depends on plowing and digging.
Good fields, if seldom hoed and tended,
Even orchids wither, their fragrance grows thin.
Do not, because the listener is confused,
Deliberately make the musical notes wrong.
Who says a child of three years old
Cannot yet distinguish good from evil?
Diligently seeking improvement each day,
I still fear my learning is not broad.
Moreover, my nature is stubborn and dull,
And again, I am not diligent in study.
It is like morning and evening meals:
A temporary lack brings fear of ruin and loss.
If there were no Six Classics,
On what would the wise and foolish rely?
王建以耕凿为喻,强调学习与修身的重要性。
诗人将治学比作治理良田,指出认知的深度依赖于持续不懈的耕耘。
以耕种比喻治学,强调勤学修德的重要性,指出经典是贤愚之别的根基。
