遷善以美身,講學以盡性。
能為可行爾,用舍固有命。
天方斲斯文,魯叟虛歷聘。
黎元則可哀,窮死吾何病。
遷善以美身,講學以盡性。
能為可行爾,用舍固有命。
天方斲斯文,魯叟虛歷聘。
黎元則可哀,窮死吾何病。
通過改過遷善來完善自身,
通過講習學問來窮盡本性。
只能盡力去做可行之事,
被任用或捨棄本由天命註定。
上天正在摧殘這禮樂文明,
孔子當年也是徒然四處應聘。
黎民百姓的境遇實在可哀,
我窮困至死又有何心病?
To better oneself by embracing virtue,
To explore learning and fulfill one's nature.
One can only strive for what is attainable;
To serve or withdraw is fated by heaven.
Now Heaven seems to ruin this culture's thread,
Like Confucius, who roamed with offers vain.
The common folk—their plight is truly sad,
But in my poverty and death, what pain?
將個人修養納入對理想社會治理的認知框架。
闡述修身向善、講學窮理的人生追求,體現了儒家注重道德完善與學問探究的價值觀。
本詩為五言古詩,押平聲韻。
