[原文]
6.1 大舜云:“诗言志,歌永言。”圣谟所析,义已明矣。是以“在心为志,发言为诗”,舒文载实,其在兹乎?诗者,持也,持人情性;三百之蔽,义归“无邪”,持之为训,有符焉尔。
[今译]
《尚书・舜典》里记大舜说:“诗是表达情志的,歌是延长它的音节的。”经过圣人的分析,意义已经很明白了。因此,“在心里的叫情志,用语言文字表达出来的叫诗”,运用文辞来表达情志,诗的意义就在这里吧?诗是扶持端正的意思,要端正人们的性情;《诗经》三百篇用一句话来概括,归结到“没有邪念”上,扶持端正的解释,是符合这个意义罢。
6.1 King Shun said,"Poetry carries sentiments in words, singing prolongs poetry." The sage-king's definition of poetry gave rise to the following exegesis: "Sentiments in the heart, poetry in words." Is this why poetry is considered the disciplining of language and the carrier of substance? The character for "poetry" means "to discipline": the disciplining of human nature. The Three Hundred Poems is summed up in one phrase: no evil thoughts. The exegesis of poetry as "to discipline" thus fits.
