白居易不仅是唐代的一位著名诗人,而且还是一位清廉勤政的官员。在任杭州刺史期间,由于白居易为官清廉,为当地老百姓做过很多好事,因此深受当地民众的拥戴。三年后,白居易辞去官职,告别杭州,回到家乡。一天,白居易吃过早饭走进书房,很自然地拿起书桌上两块取自杭州天竺山的石头观赏起来。看着看着,他的心头猛然一震,感觉自己做了一件很不光彩的事,对不起杭州、对不起天竺山。于是,他提笔写下一首满含自责的诗句。 Bai Juyi is not only a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, but also an honest and diligent official. While serving as governor of Hangzhou, Bai Juyi practiced a lot of good deeds for the local people due to his honesty and dedication. Therefore, he was deeply supported by the local people. Three years later, Bai Juyi resigned from office, bid farewell to Hangzhou, returned to his hometown. One day, Bai Juyi went to the study after having eaten breakfast and naturally picked up two pieces of stone on his desk taken from Tianzhu in Hangzhou. Looked at, his heart suddenly startled, I feel I did a very disgraceful thing, I’m sorry Hangzhou, I’m sorry Tianzhushan. So, he wrote a pen filled with self-blame verses.
