The humble inscription quotes "Confucius: Why is it humble?" Quote the words of the ancients and wrap up the whole article, indicating that the humble room is "not ugly." Expressed his pursuit of the highest moral quality of feudal ethics at that time. Perhaps Liu Yuxi's highest requirement for his moral quality is to standardize and demand himself with the ethics affirmed by saints. This conclusion, regardless of the meaning of the content, is ingenious when combined with the meaning of the question. Because the feudal ethics is based on the Confucian moral standard as the highest moral standard, the affirmation of Confucius' sage also gave the best conclusion for his theory of moral quality. The paper should have arguments, and quoting Confucius' sage words as arguments was undoubtedly the best argument at that time, which was sufficient and irrefutable.

humble room inscription

Author Liu Yuxi Tang Dynasty

The mountain is not high, but there are immortals, so it is famous. The water is not deep, and the dragon is the spirit. I am a humble room, but I am virtuous. The moss marks are green on the upper stage, and the grass color is green in the curtain. Laughing and having a great scholar, no Bai Ding. You can tune the lute and read the golden classics. There is no confusion, and there is no cumbersome form. Zhuge Lu in Nanyang and Yunting Pavilion in West Shu. Kong Ziyun: What's wrong with it?

"Humble Room Inscription" is selected from 68 episodes of Quantang Wen, which was written by Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Humble Room Inscription integrates description, lyricism and discussion. By describing the quiet and elegant environment of the "humble room" and the elegant demeanor of the host, I express my feelings of being honest and clean. The article uses the techniques of contrast, line drawing, implication and allusion, and it has a strong sense of rhyme and rhythm. It is natural and smooth to read the stone, and the song is full of aftertaste, which makes people memorable. The article shows the author's attitude towards life, that is, he does not go along with the common customs, leads an honest and clean life, and does not seek fame and fortune. It expresses the author's noble and proud sentiment, and reveals the author's secluded interest in being poor and happy.

The article "My Humble Room" has not been included in all Liu Yuxi's collections. In recent years, it has been suspected to be a forgery. However, this article is frequently recorded in previous generations, and its contents are consistent with the author's actions, so it seems that it is still suitable for Zuowei Liu. This article was written in the history of Hezhou (824-826). "Records of Liyang": "Humble room, in the state, was built by Liu Yuxi, the secretariat of the Tang and Zhou Dynasties, with an inscription and a tablet written by Liu Gongquan." Inscription is a kind of ancient writing carved on utensils to warn oneself or to describe merit, and it is mostly used to praise merit and to remind others.

About the author:

He claimed to be a descendant of King Jing of Hanzhong Mountain. He once supervised the imperial history and was a member of the Wang Shuwen Political Reform Group. A famous poet in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, he is known as a "great poet". His family is a scholarly family passed down from generation to generation by Confucianism.
