毛泽东·《七律·读封建论呈郭老（1973年8月）》英译

劝君少骂秦始皇，

焚坑事件要商量。

祖龙魂死业犹在，

孔学名高实秕糠。

百代多行秦政治，

十批不是好文章。

熟读唐人“封建论”，

莫从子厚返文王。

A Verse with Eight Seven-Character Lines

Reading On Enfeoffment, Presented to Guo the Elder

August 1973

Against the First Emperor Qin I advise you to make Jess condemnation,

On the event of Burning Books and Pitting Confucians there needs to be a consultation.

The Ancestral Dragon’s exploits remain despite his soul’s death,

And Confucianism is chaff in essence, albeit it enjoys high reputation.

Most of the one hundred generations carry out the Qin regimen,

And the Book of ten Criticisms is not a good publication.

Peruse “On Enfeoffment” by a person in the Tang Dynasty,

Return not from Zihou’s stand to King Wen’s position.
