大乙興仁獸網中,鳴條一戰遂成功。
歸來猶自懷慙德,事與唐虞已不同。
大乙興仁獸網中,鳴條一戰遂成功。
歸來猶自懷慙德,事與唐虞已不同。
成湯仁德,將網中的野獸放生;
鳴條一戰,便成就了偉大的功業。
歸來後,他內心依然懷有謙遜的美德,
但時勢已與堯舜時代大不相同。
Tang the Great, with mercy, spared the beast in the net;
At Mingtiao, one battle sealed his victory set.
Returning home, he still felt shame within his heart,
For times had changed from Yao and Shun's enlightened art.
仁德與武力在政權更迭的博弈中取得平衡。
讚頌商湯仁德興兵,於鳴條之戰推翻夏桀,建立商朝。
本詩為七言絕句,押平聲韻。
