七步诗
曹植 〔两汉〕
煮豆燃豆萁，豆在釜中泣。
本是同根生，相煎何太急？（版本一）
煮豆持作羹，漉菽以为汁。(菽 一作：豉)
萁在釜下燃，豆在釜中泣。
本自同根生，相煎何太急？（版本二）
| Boil bean burn bean stalk Bean in pan in cry Actually from same root grow Mutual boil why so fast |
Boiling beans burns the beanstalk, Beans inside the pan cry: We’re both grown from one root, Why so fast to boil each other? |
