洪水橫流四海饑,教民稼穡務三時。
後王欲識艱難業,讀取豳風七月詩。
洪水橫流四海饑,教民稼穡務三時。
後王欲識艱難業,讀取豳風七月詩。
洪水氾濫,天下饑荒,
他教導百姓農耕,致力於春、夏、秋三季的農事。
後世的君王若想了解那創業的艱難功業,
就應去誦讀《詩經·豳風》中的《七月》這首詩。
Floodwaters raged across the land, and famine plagued the seas;
He taught the people farming, toiling through the seasons three.
If later kings would know the hardship of that founding deed,
They should read the "Bin Wind" ode, the "Seventh Month" to heed.
農耕文明的治理智慧,奠定華夏生存根基。
描繪洪水肆虐、民生饑饉,后稷教民農耕以救時艱。
本詩為七言絕句,押平聲韻。
