陋室铭

陋室铭 . 刘禹锡

山不在高,有仙则名。Publish Post
水不在深,有龙则灵。
斯是陋室,唯吾德馨。
苔痕上阶绿,草色入帘青。
谈笑有鸿儒,往来无白丁。
可以调素琴,阅金经。
无丝竹之乱耳,无案牍之劳形。
南阳诸葛庐,西蜀子云亭。
孔子云:‘何陋之有?


In ancient China, the learned, people of great wisdom lived simply. Their home was just a roof over their head. They valued the experience of interacting with like-minded people over luxuries. To them, their home is not shabby at all.
