【 No feeding 】 (Qing) Zhang Quan

"A grain, my name; A penny is the essence of the people. One point wider, one more point for the people; Take a penny, I'm worthless. Who knows that the usual communication, shame really hurts; If it is not ill-gotten gains, where does this come from? "

Translation:

"One grain" is small, but it involves my honor; Although "a dime a dime" is small, it is the essence of the people. If you are lenient to the people, the people will be more blessed.

Ask the people for another penny, and I will be worthless. Although communication is human nature, it is shameful to come from an unclean route. Because if it is not ill-gotten gains, where do these gifts come from? So no feeding.
