Mountains don't have to be high, and immortals become famous mountains; The water doesn't have to be deep. With a dragon, it becomes supernatural. This is a humble house. As long as I have good moral character, I won't feel humble. Moss green, growing to the steps, green grass, reflected in the curtains. I am talking and laughing with learned scholars, not shallow mediocrity. You can play the unpretentious guqin and read Buddhist scriptures. No loud music disturbs my ears, and no official documents make me physically and mentally exhausted. It seems that Zhuge Liang Caotang in Nanyang and Yang Ziyun Xuanting in Xishu.

Edit the source and author of this paragraph.

Liu Tang Yuxi (772-842), born in Luoyang, was a writer, poet and philosopher in the Tang Dynasty. I have been in politics all my life, and I have been an official who monitors the imperial history. Later, I was demoted to many places to be a secretariat. Although his official career was not smooth at that time, his experience during this period laid a broad foundation for his later writings. Liu Yuxi returned to Luoyang in the first year of Daiwa in Tang Wenzong (827), and his career began to be smooth. In his later years, as a guest of the prince, he divided the company into Du Dong (Luoyang) and added to the history of the school. Liu Mengde's collected works have forty volumes. This article is selected from The Whole Tang Poetry.

Yuxi has been studious since she was a child. In addition to studying classics, he also dabbled extensively in calligraphy, astronomy and medicine. Poetry is the most famous of his literary creations, and Bai Juyi said that his "writing style is wonderful, not in front of poetry" ("Bai Liu's Singing Interpretation"). He occupies an important position in the ancient prose movement. At that time, the literary world was dominated by Li Ao and Han Yu and regarded as a generation. Liu said that he was "good at theory", with clear ideas, sufficient arguments and beautiful writing. The prose is concise (this passage is quoted from Liu Yuxi's biography).

Liu Yuxi lived in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Due to the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty formed a social situation in which eunuchs monopolized power, vassal regimes and cronies fought. He is quite dissatisfied with this social reality. He once participated in the political reform led by Wang, but ended in failure, resulting in a bumpy career and repeated relegation. However, he did not give in to the powerful, but showed his integrity and contempt for the powerful with a civilized mentality. This article can be said to be the author's bitter ridicule of the prevailing social customs and self-evident mentality at that time. "Humble Room Inscription" was written after he was demoted to secretariat.
