炎風駕京塵,久旱氛祲惡。
羲和鞭日車,光焰赫飛躍。
羣生困熬暴,嘉穀坐焦灼。
高堂袒裼臥,汗下如鞭索。
安知於此時,乃見嘉樹落。
狂飄隨煙雲,急灑動林薄。
蕭然宇宙間,昏霧一疏瀹。
雖忻意暫豁,所嘆施未博。
雷霆司天令,何乃久寂寞。
微陰雖自復,陽亢不為卻。
安得躋帝閽,一鼓造化橐。
太上方厲政,進賢登謇諤。
日將太平近,此變不應作。
吾徒勿咨嗟,坐看雨時若。
炎風駕京塵,久旱氛祲惡。
羲和鞭日車,光焰赫飛躍。
羣生困熬暴,嘉穀坐焦灼。
高堂袒裼臥,汗下如鞭索。
安知於此時,乃見嘉樹落。
狂飄隨煙雲,急灑動林薄。

太上方厲政,進賢登謇諤。
日將太平近,此變不應作。
吾徒勿咨嗟,坐看雨時若。
炎熱的風捲起京城的塵土,
久旱不雨,災異之氣十分惡劣。
羲和鞭策著太陽車運行,
它的光芒熾烈,如火焰般飛躍。
衆生困於灼熱的暴曬,
美好的穀物徒然焦枯。
在高堂上人們袒露身體躺著,
汗如雨下,如同被鞭子抽打。
怎料想就在此時,
竟看到嘉美的樹木落葉紛紛。
狂風追隨著煙雲而來,
急雨灑落,搖動著叢林草木。
蕭瑟之中,天地之間,
昏濁的霧氣一下子被疏解滌盪。
雖然欣喜,心情暫時開朗,
可嘆息這雨施予得還不夠廣博。
雷霆是執掌上天號令的,
爲何長久地沉寂無聲?
微薄的陰雲雖自行聚集,
但太陽的亢烈並未退卻。
如何才能登上天帝的宮門,
鼓動那造化萬物的風箱?
皇上正努力推行善政,
進用賢才,提拔正直敢言之士。
太平之日即將臨近,
這樣的災變不應發生。
我們這些人不要嘆息哀傷,
且坐看雨水是否應時而降。
The scorching wind drives dust through the capital,
A long drought's baleful air grows ever more vile.
Xi He whips his sun-chariot on its course,
Its blazing flames leap and dance with fierce guile.
All living things suffer this roasting torment,
The fine grain sits scorched, utterly forlorn.
In high halls, people lie stripped to the skin,
Sweat pours down like lashes from a whip born.
Who could know that in this very hour,
We'd see fine trees shed their leaves in a shower?
A wild gale follows the smoke and clouds,
A swift downpour stirs the woods and shrouds.
Suddenly, across the vast universe,
The gloomy fog is rinsed, a blessing diverse.
Though joy brings a moment's relief to the heart,
I sigh that the grace has not played its full part.
Thunder and lightning hold Heaven's command,
Why have they lain dormant, silent in the land?
A faint shade of cloud may of itself restore,
But the sun's fierce heat does not withdraw.
How can I ascend to the Emperor's gate,
And drum the bellows of fate, to change our state?
The Supreme Sovereign now strictly governs the land,
Promoting the worthy, the loyal and grand.
The days draw near to an era of peace,
This calamity should surely cease.
Let us, my friends, not sigh in despair,
But sit and watch the timely rain with care.
自然周期中的治理智慧體現天人感應
久旱逢甘霖的喜悅與自然恩澤的讚美
