Lot 77公冶长受劫
中平鸟语能通公冶长
南山得个虎抬羊
其身虽在于缧絏
到底非关自己殃
Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
The poem gives Gongye Chang the ability to understand birds and introduces news of a tiger carrying a sheep on the southern mountain. It then shows him confined while stressing that the trouble is not attributed to his own wrongdoing. Ability, external involvement and personal responsibility remain distinct, without a detailed account of the case.
The central idea
Unusual ability is followed by confinement, yet the poem insists that misfortune is not proof of guilt. Its theme is unjust involvement and the limits of judging by appearances. It does not establish that someone is plotting against the reader.
