莫入州衙與縣衙,勸君勤理舊生涯。
池塘多放聊添稅,田地深耕足養家。
教子教孫須教義,栽桑栽柘勝栽花。
閑非閑是都休管,渴飲清泉困飲茶。
莫入州衙與縣衙,勸君勤理舊生涯。
池塘多放聊添稅,田地深耕足養家。
教子教孫須教義,栽桑栽柘勝栽花。
閑非閑是都休管,渴飲清泉困飲茶。
不要踏入州府和縣衙的大門,
我勸你勤勉打理舊有的營生。
在池塘多放養些魚,姑且能增添些賦稅,
將田地深耕細作,足以供養全家。
教育子孫必須教導他們道義,
栽種桑樹和柘樹,勝過栽種花草。
那些閒言碎語、是非紛爭都不要去理會,
口渴了就暢飲清泉,睏倦了就品茶休憩。
Stay away from the county and prefecture offices' gates,
I urge you to diligently tend your old estates.
Stock your ponds with more fish to slightly increase your tax yield,
Plow your fields deep and they'll ample sustenance will wield.
Teach your sons and grandsons principles, not just lore;
Plant mulberry and paper-mulberry trees, better than flowers you adore.
Let idle gossip and disputes be of no concern to you;
When thirsty, drink from the clear spring; when weary, sip tea anew.
勸導體現對基層治理複雜性的疏離態度。
勸誡農人遠離官府,專心務農,體現對田園生活的肯定與對吏治的疏離。
本詩為七言律詩,押平聲韻。
