虞舜,瞽瞍之子,性至孝。父顽,母嚣,弟傲。舜耕于历山,有象为之耕,鸟为之耘,其孝感如此。帝尧闻之,事以九男,妻以二女,遂以天下让焉。
诗曰:
队队春耕象,纷纷耘草禽。
嗣尧登宝位,孝感动天心。
Yu Shun’s Filial Piety Moved the Heaven
Yu Shun, son of Gusou, a blind old man, was truly dutiful to his parents, though his father was foolish and stupid, his mother, stupid and treacherous, and Xiang, his younger brother, arrogant. When he was ploughing in the Lishan Mountain, elephants and birds, who were moved by his great filial piety, came to help him. Later, Emperor Yao learned of his deeds, and sent his nine sons to serve Shun, his two daughters to be his wife and concubine, and later, even his sovereignty was finally succeeded by Shun. |
