淮川鎖支祁,民免其魚苦。
誰謂旌陽翁,功可配神禹。
小試青蛇鋒,橫絕長蛟膂。
聚彼數州鐵,鑄此千尺柱。
沉江壓餘妖,妥首敢掀舞。
波濤永息民按堵,只恐人間有周處。
淮川鎖支祁,民免其魚苦。
誰謂旌陽翁,功可配神禹。
小試青蛇鋒,橫絕長蛟膂。
聚彼數州鐵,鑄此千尺柱。
沉江壓餘妖,妥首敢掀舞。
波濤永息民按堵,只恐人間有周處。
淮河曾鎖住水怪支祁,
百姓因而免遭淪爲魚鱉的苦難。
誰說許旌陽真人的功業,
能夠與大禹治水的神功相配?
他略試青蛇劍的鋒芒,
便橫斬了長蛟的脊骨。
匯聚各州的無數鐵料,
鑄就這千尺高的鐵柱。
沉入江中鎮壓殘餘妖孽,
妖怪俯首,豈敢再興風作浪。
波濤永遠平息,人民安居樂業,
只恐怕人間還會出現周處那樣的禍患。
The Huai River once held Zhi Qi in chains,
And saved the people from the flood's dire pains.
Who says the deeds of Master Jingyang old,
Could match the Great Yu's, in legends told?
He tried his sword, a serpent's fang so keen,
To cut the giant serpent's spine unseen.
Then iron from many a state he did amass,
To cast this pillar, towering tall and vast.
Sunk in the river, demons it did quell,
Their heads bowed low, no more to surge and swell.
Waves calmed forever, people dwell in peace,
Yet fear remains: a Zhou Chu might not cease.
鎖鎮水怪體現了古人對自然力量的治理智慧。
歌頌治水功績,使百姓免受水患之苦。
本詩為七言古詩,押平聲韻。
