桃徑共無言,整冠防未然。
折枝如薺苦,沉水若朱研。
東苑瓊芳細,南居玉質堅。
高穹指為姓,合冠百嘉先。
桃徑共無言,整冠防未然。
折枝如薺苦,沉水若朱研。
東苑瓊芳細,南居玉質堅。
高穹指為姓,合冠百嘉先。
在桃李無言的小徑上,
整理衣冠以防患於未然。
折下李枝,味道如薺菜般苦澀,
沉入水中,顏色似研磨的硃砂般紅豔。
東苑之中,瓊花般精細芬芳,
南居之地,玉質般堅實溫潤。
高遠的蒼穹指定它為姓氏,
它理當冠於百種佳果之先。
In the peach path, we share a wordless air,
Adjusting caps to guard against what may ensue.
Plucking a branch tastes bitter as shepherd's-purse,
Sinking in water is like cinnabar ground anew.
In eastern gardens, its fine jade-like fragrance grows,
In southern abodes, its jade-like substance stands firm.
The high heavens point to it as a surname,
It rightly leads all fine fruits, taking the first term.
強調慎獨修身,蘊含對行為風險的預先治理。
以李樹桃徑並置,暗喻君子慎獨修德,防患於未然。
本詩為五言律詩,押平聲韻。
