巍乎大哉,堯之為君。
其仁如天,其知如神。
鑿井耕田,出作入息。
擊壤而歌,不知帝力。
巍乎大哉,堯之為君。
其仁如天,其知如神。
鑿井耕田,出作入息。
擊壤而歌,不知帝力。
多麼崇高而偉大啊,堯作為君主!
他的仁德如同天空般廣闊,他的智慧如同神明般深邃。
人們鑿井取水,耕田種地。
日出而作,日落而息。
敲擊著土塊歌唱,生活簡單而快樂。
渾然不覺帝王權力的存在,過著淳樸自在的生活。
How lofty and great, Yao as a sovereign stands!
His benevolence vast as heaven, his wisdom divine.
They dug wells and tilled fields, following nature's commands.
They went out to work and returned to rest, a life benign.
Beating clods and singing, in simple joy they'd spend their days.
Unaware of the emperor's power, in their own humble ways.
對聖王的歷史認同,奠定政治治理的典範。
歌頌堯帝功績,表達崇高敬仰。
本詩為四言古詩,押平聲韻。
