蜀魄湘魂万古悲,未悲秦相死秦时。
临刑莫恨仓中鼠,上蔡东门去自迟。
蜀魄湘魂万古悲,未悲秦相死秦时。
临刑莫恨仓中鼠,上蔡东门去自迟。
望帝(蜀魄)与舜妃(湘魂)的悲恨流传万古
却不必为秦朝丞相死于秦时而悲
临刑时不要怨恨粮仓中的老鼠(指发迹契机)
(应悔)离开上蔡东门(故乡)去打猎,自己本就太迟了
The souls of Shu and Xiang, sorrow through all ages lie
Yet not for the Qin Prime Minister's death when Qin was nigh.
Facing execution, don't hate the granary rat
Leaving Shangcai's east gate, you yourself were late, at that.
韦庄读《史记·李斯列传》有感。
批判李斯未能洞察权力博弈的本质周期,终致悲剧。
借李斯临刑之叹,揭示功名富贵终成空幻的悲剧命运。
万古悲 · 临刑 · 秦相 · 恨
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
