廬山記 4.116

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2095.4.116)

垢塵不污玉。靈鳳不啄羶。鳴呼陶靖節。生彼晉宋間。心實有所守。口終不能言。永惟孤竹子。拂衣首陽山。夷齊各一身。窮餓未為難。先生有五男。與之同飢寒。腸中食不充。身上衣不完。連徵竟不起。斯可謂真賢。我生君之後。相去五百年。每讀五柳傳。目想心拳拳。昔甞詠遺風。著為十六篇。今來訪故宅。森若在君前。不慕樽有酒。不慕琴無絃。慕君遺榮利。老死此丘園。柴桑古村落。栗里舊山山川。不見籬下菊。但餘墟中煙。子孫雖聞。族氏猶未遷。每逢姓陶人。使我心依然。

> Filth and dust do not sully jade; / The numinous phoenix does not peck at rank meat. / Alas, Tao Jingjie, / Was born between the Jin and Song dynasties! / In his heart there was truly something he upheld; / With his mouth, he ultimately could not speak. / I think forever of the sons of Guzhu, / Who brushed off their robes on Mount Shouyang. / Boyi and Shuqi were each alone; / For them, poverty and starvation were no hardship. / But the master had five sons, / Who shared his hunger and cold. / Within their bellies food was not sufficient; / Upon their bodies clothing was incomplete. / Repeated summons came, yet in the end he did not arise; / Such a man may truly be called a worthy! / I was born after you, / Separated by five hundred years. / Whenever I read the 'Biography of Five Willows', / My eyes envision it, my heart earnest and devoted. / In the past I once chanted of your legacy, / Writing sixteen pieces. / Today I come to visit your former home; / It feels solemnly as though standing before you. / I do not envy the cup having wine; / I do not envy the zither without strings. / I envy you for casting aside glory and profit, / Growing old and dying in this garden of hillocks. / Chaisang is an ancient hamlet; / Lili, its old mountain streams. / I do not see the chrysanthemums beneath the hedge; / Only the smoke among the ruins remains. / Though your descendants have declined, / The clan has not yet migrated away. / Whenever I meet someone surnamed Tao, / It makes my heart deeply moved as before.
