丈夫何事怕饑窮,況復簞瓢亦未空。
萬卷詩書真活計,一山梅竹自清風。
丈夫何事怕饑窮,況復簞瓢亦未空。
萬卷詩書真活計,一山梅竹自清風。
大丈夫爲何要害怕飢餓與貧窮?
更何況粗茶淡飯也還未曾斷絕。
那萬卷詩書才是真正的活計與依靠,
滿山的梅花與翠竹自有清風吹拂。
Why should a man fear hunger and poverty?
Especially when his simple fare is not yet gone.
Ten thousand volumes of verse and prose are his true livelihood,
A mountain of plum and bamboo offers its own pure breeze.
安貧樂道是儒家士人治理心性的基礎。
勸慰兒輩安貧樂道,保持精神富足。
本詩為七言絕句,押平聲韻。
