燈前閒覆孟堅書,瞬息炎劉四百餘。
五聚井星才屬爾,一抔陵土竟何如。
早誇發縱輕烹狗,終藉吞舟失漏魚。
若使高皇為晉獻,可須莽卓始丘墟。
燈前閒覆孟堅書,瞬息炎劉四百餘。
五聚井星才屬爾,一抔陵土竟何如。
早誇發縱輕烹狗,終藉吞舟失漏魚。
若使高皇為晉獻,可須莽卓始丘墟。
在燈前閒來翻閱班固的《漢書》,
轉瞬之間,輝煌的漢朝已延續四百餘年。
井宿五星方才歸屬於你(漢朝),
如今只剩一捧陵墓的泥土,究竟又能如何?
過早誇讚那放狗追獸的功勞,事成後卻將獵狗烹煮;
終究是網漏吞舟之魚,讓巨奸得以逃脫。
假使漢高祖是晉獻公那樣的君主,
難道還需要等到王莽、董卓出現才開始淪爲丘墟嗎?
Leisurely, before the lamp, I leaf through Ban Gu's book,
In a flash, the blazing Han spanned four hundred years.
Five clusters of stars, the Well, just then belonged to you,
But now, a handful of tomb soil—what is it, after all?
Too soon they praised the hound unleashed, then lightly boiled;
In the end, the net-meshing whale slipped through, a fish escaped.
If the High Ancestor had been a Jin-dynasty lord,
Would it have needed Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo to turn to ruins?
通過歷史閱讀,完成對王朝興替周期的個人認知重構。
夜讀《漢書》感懷漢代四百餘年基業,轉瞬已成歷史雲煙。
本詩為七言律詩,押平聲韻。
