Ancient Chinese classic poems are exquisite works of art. As far as 2,000 years ago, Chinese poets composed the beautiful work Book of Poetry and Elegies of the South, Later, they created more splendid Tang poetry and Song lyrics. Such classic works as Thus Spoke the Master and Laws: Divine and Human were extremely significant in building and shaping the culture of the Chinese nation. These works are both a cultural bond linking the thoughts and affections of Chinese people and an important bridge for Chinese culture and the world. Mr. Xu Yuanchong has been engaged in translation for 70 years. In December 2010, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award in Translation conferred by the Translators Association of China (TAC). He is honored as the only expert who translates Chinese poems into both English and French. After his excellent interpretation, many Chinese classic poems have been further refined into perfect English and French rhymes. This collection of Classical Chinese Poetry and Prose gathers his most representative English translations. It includes the classic works Thus Spoke the Master, Laws: Divine and Human and dramas such as Romance of the Western Bower, Dream in Peony Pavilion, Love in Long-life Hall and Peach Blossom Painted with Blood. The largest part of the collection includes the translation of selected poems from different dynasties. The selection includes various types of poems, lyrics and Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty songs. The selected works start from the pre-Qin era to the Qing Dynasty, covering almost the entire history of classic poems in China. Reading these works is like tasting "living water from the source" of Chinese culture. We hope this collection will help English readers "know, love and appreciate" Chinese classic poems, share the intelligence of Confucius and Lao Tzu, share the gracefulness of Tang Dynasty poems, Song lyrics and classic operas and songs and promote exchanges between Eastern and Western culture. This book is one of the 14 books of Classical Chinese Poetry and Prose, a translation of Confucian classics Thus Spoke the Master.

精彩書摘

Chapter VIII

8.1. Tai Bo, said the Master, might be said to have the highest virtue, for he had thrice renounced the throne. He was beyond the praise of the people.

8.2. Beyond propriety, said the Master, respect would lead to labor lost, caution to timidity, courage to violence, and even frankness would hurt. If cultured men are affectionate to their kins, then people will be inspired to do good. If old friends are not forgotten, then people will not be negligent.

8.3. When Master Zeng was ill, he summoned his disciples around him and said, “Uncover my feet and uncover my hands! It is said in the Book of Poetry: ‘Be careful as if you did stand On the brink of the gulf of vice Or tread upon the ice!’ From now on, I need not be so careful, my young friends.”

8.4. When Master Zeng was ill, Meng Jing Zi came to inquire after him. Master Zeng said, “When a bird is about to die, its song is mournful. When a man is about to die, what he says is good. In performing the rites, a cultured man will pay attention to three things: how to look inoffensive and respectful, appear trustworthy, and be free from vulgarity in speech. As to sacrificial service, he will leave it to officials in charge.”

8.5. Master Zeng said, “The capable may consult the incapable, the possessor of much may consult those of little; those who have may appear to have not, those who are full may appear empty; a man may take no care even when he is offended. Such was the way of one of my former friends.”

8.6. Master Zeng said, “Is he not an intelligentleman who can be entrusted with a helpless orphan prince and the fate of a state, and who dare to face danger without fear? Yes, he is.”

8.7. Master Zeng said, “An intellectual should be strong and steady, for his duty is heavy and his journey will be long. Is it not a heavy duty to be a man of men? Is his journey not long which will not end until his death?”

8.8. A man, said the Master, may be inspired by poetry, established in performing the rites, and perfected by music.

泰伯篇第八

共二十一章

8.1 子曰：“泰伯⑴，其可謂至德也已矣。三以天下⑵讓，民無得而稱焉。”

【譯文】孔子說：“泰伯，那可以說是品德極崇高瞭。屢次地把天下讓給季曆，老百姓簡直找不齣恰當的詞語來稱贊他。”

【注釋】

⑴泰伯——亦作“太伯”，周朝祖先古公亶父的長子。古公有三子，太伯、仲雍、季曆。季曆的兒子就是姬昌（周文王）。據傳說，古公預見到昌的聖德，因此想打破慣例，把君位不傳長子太伯，而傳給幼子季曆，從而傳給昌。太伯為著實現他父親的意願，便偕同仲雍齣走至勾吳（為吳國的始祖），終於把君位傳給季曆和昌。昌後來擴張國勢，竟有天下的三分之二，到他兒子姬發（周武王），便滅瞭殷商，統一天下。

⑵天下——當古公、泰伯之時，周室僅是一個小的部落，談不上“天下”。這“天下”兩字可能即指其當時的部落而言。也有人說，是預指以後的周部落統一瞭中原的天下而言。

8.2 子曰：“恭而無禮⑴則勞，慎而無禮則葸⑵，勇而無禮則亂，直而無禮則絞⑶。君子篤於親，則民興於仁；故舊不遺，則民不偷⑷。”

【譯文】孔子說：“注重容貌態度的端莊，卻不知禮，就未免勞倦；隻知謹慎，卻不知禮，就流於畏葸懦弱；專憑敢作敢為的膽量，卻不知禮，就會盲動闖禍；心直口快，卻不知禮，就會尖刻刺人。在上位的人能用深厚感情對待親族，那老百姓就會走嚮仁德；在上位的人不遺棄他的老同事、老朋友，那老百姓就不緻對人冷淡無情。

【注釋】

⑴禮——這裏指的是禮的本質。

⑵葸——音喜，xǐ，膽怯，害怕。

⑶絞——尖刻刺人。

⑷偷——淡薄，這裏指人與人的感情而言。

8.3 曾子有疾，召門弟子曰：“啓⑴予足！啓予手！《詩》雲⑵，‘戰戰兢兢，如臨深淵，如履⑶薄冰。’而今而後，吾知免夫！小子！”

【譯文】曾參病瞭，把他的學生召集攏來，說道：“看看我的腳！看看我的手！《詩經》上說：‘小心呀！謹慎呀！好像麵臨深深水坑之旁，好像行走薄薄冰層之上。’從今以後，我纔曉得自己是可以免於禍害刑戮的瞭！學生們！”

【注釋】

⑴啓——《說文》有“ ”字，雲：“視也。”王念孫《廣雅疏證》（《釋詁》）說，《論語》的這“啓”字就是《說文》的“ ”字。

⑵《詩》雲——三句詩見《詩經?小雅?小旻篇》。

⑶履——《易?履卦?爻辭》：“眇能視，跛能履。”履，步行也。

8.4 曾子有疾，孟敬子⑴問之。曾子言曰：“鳥之將死，其鳴也哀；人之將死，其言也善。君子所貴乎道者三：動容貌，斯遠暴慢⑵矣；正顔色，斯近信矣；齣辭氣，斯遠鄙倍⑶矣。籩豆之事⑷，則有司⑸存。”

【譯文】曾參病瞭，孟敬子探問他。曾子說：“鳥要死瞭，鳴聲是悲哀的；人要死瞭，說齣的話是善意的。在上位的人待人接物有三方麵應該注重：嚴肅自己的容貌，就可以避免彆人的粗暴和懈怠；端正自己的臉色，就容易使人相信；說話的時候，多考慮言辭和聲調，就可以避免鄙陋粗野和錯誤。至於禮儀的細節，自有主管人員。”

【注釋】

⑴孟敬子——魯國大夫仲孫捷。

⑵暴慢——暴是粗暴無禮，慢是懈怠不敬。

⑶鄙倍——鄙是粗野鄙陋；倍同“背”，不閤理，錯誤。

⑷籩豆之事——籩音邊，biān，古代的一種竹器，高腳，上麵圓口，有些像碗，祭祀時用以盛果實等食品。豆也是古代一種像籩一般的器皿，木料做的，有蓋，用以盛有汁的食物，祭祀時也用它。這裏“籩豆之事”係代錶禮儀中的一切具體細節。

⑸有司——主管其事的小吏。

8.5 曾子曰：“以能問於不能，以多問於寡；有若無，實若虛；犯而不校——昔者吾友⑴嘗從事於斯矣。”

【譯文】曾子說：“有能力卻嚮無能力的人請教，知識豐富卻嚮知識缺少的人請教；有學問像沒學問一樣，滿腹知識像空無所有一樣；縱被欺侮，也不計較——從前我的一位朋友便曾這樣做瞭。”

【注釋】

⑴吾友——曆來的注釋傢都以為是指顔迴。

前言/序言

Preface

Confucius (551-479 BC) is the most influential sage in China. This book is a record of the dialogues between the sage and his disciples. In answering their questions, he does not tell them what the answer is, but how he would solve the question, so his answer has an everlasting transcendental value. He teaches his disciples how to cultivate the mind and thinks it a delight to acquire knowledge and to behave in accordance with what is right. In this book politics, ethics and religion are combined into one, but he replaces religion by aesthetics or the sense of delight, which becomes the essence of life. His way of thinking might not be logical, deductive or inductive but intuitive, associative and analogical. He has exercised great influence on forming and molding national character and social behavior, and given guidance to public and private life.
