[原文]

8.1《诗》有六义，其二日“赋”。“赋”者，铺也;铺采摘文，体物写志也。昔邵公称:“公卿献诗，师箴瞍赋。”传云:“登高能赋，可为大夫。”诗序则同义，传说则异体。总其归塗，实相枝干。故刘向[云]明“不歌而颂”，班固称“古诗之流也”。

[今译]

《诗经》的体制和表现手法有六种，第二种叫“赋”。“赋”是铺叙;铺叙辞藻，创作文辞，体察物象，抒写情志。从前召公说:“公卿献诗，乐官献箴，盲人念诗。”毛诗的传里说:“登高能够作赋，可以做大夫。”《诗序》讲赋和铺叙说相同;《诗传》讲赋成为另一种体裁。总观赋的趋向，实在是由诗的一枝发展成本干的赋体。所以刘向说明“不唱而朗诵的是赋”，班固称为“赋是从《诗经》中发展出来的一个支派。”

8.1 The Book of Poetry has six elements, the second being fu or rhyme-prose. The character for fu is related to "unfold": It unfolds literary patterns and the art of language to describe scenery and human feeling. Lord Zhao once said, "Lords and ministers present poetry, musicians submit admonitions, and the blind give recitals." Mao's Commentary on the Book of Poetry states, "He who can write rhyme-prose on ascending to the height can be an official." Mao's Preface designates fu as one of the six elements of the Book of Poetry, but Mao's Commentary treats it as a different genre. In fact, these two senses are as closely related as the trunk and branches of a tree. That is why Liu Xiang considered fu as "that which can be recited but not sung" while Ban Gu claimed that it developed from the Book of Poetry.
