我们吃死猪肉?!
《猪吃死人肉》 寒山
猪吃死人肉,人吃死猪肠。
猪吃死人肉,人吃死猪的肠子;
猪不嫌人臭,人反道猪香。
猪不嫌死人的肉臭就吃了,人们吃了这些猪的肉之后还觉得猪肉是香的。
猪死抛水内,人死掘土藏。
猪死了之后,人们將他们抛在水里泡,人死了之后挖个坑洞藏入土中;
彼此莫相啖,莲花生沸汤。
如果彼此之间不要相互吃来吃去,莲花也能在沸腾的汤中生长出来。
注释:
1)“莲花生沸汤”是由佛经里“火中生莲”变化而来。《维摩诘经·佛道品》中说:“火中生莲花,是可谓稀有,在欲而行禅,稀有亦如是。”
很有趣的一首诗,是我上HC112《中国俗文学》负责为班上同学讲解的。乍看这首诗,觉得“猪吃死人肉,人吃死猪肠。猪不嫌人臭,人反道猪香。”有点让人反胃。不是吗?你想一想人和猪在这里的食物链(food chain)关系:
人(肉很臭)—〉猪(吃了臭人肉)—〉人(吃以臭人肉为食的猪)—〉猪(又吃臭人肉)……
但人却不知道他们吃的猪曾经以臭人肉为食……(恶心……)所以寒山最后劝道:“虽然要每个人都不吃猪肉很难,难如要莲花在沸腾的汤里长出,但要是个人能做到的话,是十分难能可贵的。”
寒山是一番苦心啊,但从小吃惯了肉,要人们改吃素还真难。
