《三字經》（五）

文中子，及老莊。經子通，讀諸史。

考世系，知終始。自羲農，至黃帝。

號三皇，居上世。唐有虞，號二帝。

有左氏，有谷梁。經既明，方讀子。

相揖遜，稱盛世。夏有禹，商有湯；

周武王，稱三王。夏傳子，家天下。

四百載，遷夏社。湯伐夏，國號商。

六百載，至紂亡。周武王，始誅紂。

八百載，最長久。周轍東，王綱墮。

Three-Character Canon (V)

They are named Xun Zi and Yang Zi,
And Wen Zhong Zi, Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi.
With a thorough understanding of the above mentioned,
One can proceed to historical works.

From each phase of historical evolution,
Once can learn the ups and downs of each reign.
There lived Fu Xi and Shen Nong,
As well as Xuan Yuan.

They were called the Three Emperors,
Living long before in the good old days.
Yao and Shun reigned in the later years,
Who were called the Two Emperors.

There are three commentary authors:
Gong Yang, Zuo Qiuming and Gu Liang.
After having grasped the classics,
Once can read the works of other schools,

Both yielded the crown to capable men,
And their reigns were called the heydays.
There lived Yu in the Xia Dynasty,
And there appeared Tang in the Shang;

Together with King Zhou Wen and his son,
They were called the Three Great Kings.
After Yu was succeeded by his son,
All under heaven were ruled by one family,

And the Xia Dynasty lasted four centuries long,
Till there were revolution in the country.
The revolution against Xia was led by Tang,
Who founded a new dynasty called Shang.

Six centuries had passed
Before it was overthrown in the reign of Zhu.
Zhou Dynasty was founded by King Zhou Wu,
Who captured and beheaded cruel Zhu.

The Zhou Dynasty lasted eight centuries,
And it's the longest dynasty in history.
When the capital of Zhou was moved east,
The whole state began to go downward.
