沧浪之水清兮,可以濯我缨; 沧浪之水浊兮,可以濯我足。这是一首古老的歌。在旧社会读过书的人大都很熟悉;解放后,由于吴伯箫同志的散文《菜园小记》引用了它,而这篇散文又一直选作初中课文,所以一代代中学生都能背诵它。它的思想内容不难理解,所以历来都无疑议。然而近来有一篇专门论述它的文章却得出了与其实际恰恰相反的评价。同时对孔子、孟子、屈原对它的态度也做了错误的解说。今做以下探讨和辨析,以免以讹传讹,贻误更多的教师和学生及其他古代文学爱好者。这是一首楚歌。

Canglang clear water, you can 濯 my Ying; Cang Lang water turbid, you can 濯 I foot. This is an old song. Most of the people who had read books in the old society were mostly familiar with it. After the liberation, because of the quotation from Comrade Wu Baoxiao’s “Cai Yuan Xiao Ji” which was cited as the junior high school text, junior middle school students of this generation could recite it. Its ideological content is not difficult to understand, so it has always been no doubt. However, a recent article devoted to it has come to the exact opposite of its reality. At the same time, Confucius, Mencius, Qu Yuan also made a wrong explanation of its attitude. The following discussion and analysis of the following, so as not to erroneous assertions, delaying more teachers and students and other ancient literary enthusiasts. This is a good song.
