"Keep an eager guard over your behaviour;
翼翼矜矜，
For thence happiness will come.
福所以興。
Fulfil your duties calmly and respectfully;
靖恭自思，
Thus shall you win glory and honour."
榮顯所期。
The painting that illustrates this poem also has a high moral purpose and interestingly, although the lessons are ostensibly for women, they can also speak to men. When the Emperor refuses to be seduced by his vain wife, he sets an example of male judgement and strength. Dr Shane McCausland, a leading expert on early Chinese painting, has studied the Admonitions Scroll in detail:
而表現(xiàn)詩(shī)歌的畫(huà)作也有崇高的道德目標(biāo)。勸誡的對(duì)象不只是女性，也包括男性。皇帝拒絕妃子的引誘，表現(xiàn)了男性的決斷與力量。肖恩麥克索蘭博士是中國(guó)古代繪畫(huà)的知名專家，他曾仔細(xì)研究過(guò)《女史箴圖》。
"I think it's about positive criticism, he's trying to not tell people what not to do, but to tell them how to do something better, and each of the scenes describes ways in which ladies of the court could improve their conduct, their behaviour, their character. Admonition is really about learning, improving yourself, but in order to do that, if your audience is very jaded, I think you need to inject quite a lot of wit and humour into it, and I think that's exactly what this artist has done."It bears very closely on kingship, on the tradition of statecraft, of principled government. It's a really incredibly insightful portrayal of the human interactions which go to governing."
這是一種正面的勸導(dǎo)。藝術(shù)家的目的并不是想告訴別人哪些事不能做，而是告訴他們?nèi)绾文軌蜃龅酶谩Ｃ恳环鶊?chǎng)景都描述了宮廷女性應(yīng)如何改善自己的行為舉止、個(gè)性品行。畫(huà)的主題是關(guān)于學(xué)習(xí)與改進(jìn)。為了避免欣賞者對(duì)說(shuō)教感到厭煩，藝術(shù)家還加入了機(jī)智幽默的內(nèi)容。而且我認(rèn)為這正是藝術(shù)家們所致力于打造的。畫(huà)作的內(nèi)容與為君之道密切相聯(lián)，是對(duì)治國(guó)者與他人互動(dòng)模式富有洞見(jiàn)的描畫(huà)。
Unfortunately Empress Jia was impervious to the poem's moral message, and she carried on with her scandalous sexual exploits and her murderous activities. Some of her ruthlessness may have been warranted, since there were rebels stirring up civil war, and ultimately in 300 AD there was a successful coup. She was captured and forced to commit suicide.
但遺憾的是，賈皇后并不為詩(shī)文所動(dòng)，繼續(xù)過(guò)著荒淫的生活。她的冷酷也許在某種程度上情有可原，因?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)有藩王叛亂引起內(nèi)戰(zhàn)。公元300年政變成功，賈皇后被俘獲并賜死。
