北窗本意傲羲皇,老返園廬味更長。
犢健戴星耕白水,蠶饑衝雨採青桑。
俚儒朱墨開冬學,廟史牲牢祝歲穣。
從此鬢毛雖似雪,未妨擊壌頌虞唐。
北窗本意傲羲皇,老返園廬味更長。
犢健戴星耕白水,蠶饑衝雨採青桑。
俚儒朱墨開冬學,廟史牲牢祝歲穣。
從此鬢毛雖似雪,未妨擊壌頌虞唐。
北窗的本意是要效仿上古的羲皇,超然物外,
如今年老,返回田園廬舍,其中滋味更加深長。
健壯的小牛披星戴月,在泛著白光的水田中耕作,
飢餓的蠶兒冒著雨水,去採摘青翠的桑葉。
鄉里的儒生用硃筆和墨卷開設冬日的學堂,
掌管祠廟的官員用牲畜祭品,祈禱年歲豐收。
從此以後,我的鬢髮雖然白如霜雪,
但這並不妨礙我擊打著土壤,歌頌堯舜那樣的太平盛世。
The north window's intent was to rival the ancient sage,
Now old, returning to my garden hut, its flavor grows more profound.
The sturdy calf plows the pale water under starlight,
The hungry silkworms brave the rain to gather green mulberry leaves.
Rustic scholars open winter school with ink and vermilion,
Temple keepers offer sacrifices, praying for a bountiful year.
Henceforth, though my temple hair resembles snow,
It does not hinder me from beating the earth and singing praises of sage rulers.
北窗意象體現了對生命週期的寧靜順應。
以北窗高臥自比羲皇上人,抒寫晚年歸隱田園的悠長滋味。
本詩為七言律詩,押平聲韻。
