The first paragraph is a couplet, which means that it is good to have the desire to ride the wind and waves (that is, to point out the success), but you must be patient. Only by studying hard in Hanchuang (that is, learning cultural knowledge) can you realize your wishes.

The second paragraph says that you should work with sincere people and learn knowledge from things other than books. The words without words refer to practice outside books.

The third paragraph is about being humble and humbly referring to bamboo. It is a pun, which means that bamboo is hollow, and it also means that people must be modest. Bowing your head means an attitude of humility, and looking up means an attitude of pride.

The fourth paragraph is that the reason why the sea can accommodate hundreds of rivers is because it has capacity, and it means that people must be magnanimous. The reason why Qianren cliff can stand majestically is because it has no worldly desires; Only when people have no worldly desires can they achieve the state of righteousness and awe-inspiring justice.

When Lin Zexu was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, during the period of opium ban, he wrote a couplet in his government office: "A sea that embraces all rivers is tolerant, and a person who stands on a wall with no desires is strong." This couplet is vivid and has profound meaning. The first couplet earnestly warns oneself that one must listen to all kinds of different opinions in order to get things done well and remain invincible; the second couplet strengthens oneself, as an official must resolutely put an end to selfish desires in order to be upright and upright like a mountain in the world. The spirit advocated by Lin Zexu is admirable and serves as a lesson for future generations.

I take the content of this couplet as my motto. On the one hand, I admire the tolerance and magnanimity it promotes, and on the other hand, it also encourages me to eliminate selfish desires and serve the public wholeheartedly. As the 21st century approaches, we must not only inherit the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, but also strive to adapt to the requirements of the new era. Therefore, it is extremely important to have clear principles for conducting ourselves in society.

"The sea is open to all rivers and is big", which means to be open-minded and broad-minded, which is also a sign of a person's self-cultivation. There used to be a saying in China that "the prime minister's belly can make a boat sail." Regardless of whether those prime ministers are all broad-minded people, people regard those who have a broad mind as broad as the sea as respectable people.

The "desire" in "Standing against the wall and having no desires will lead to strength" means the desire to get something or to achieve a certain goal. Desire is a physiological instinct of human beings. If people want to live, they will have various "desires". However, there must be a measure for everything. If there are too many and too big desires, greed will arise; if there are too many and too big desires, it will be difficult to satisfy the desires. Those who are greedy are often obsessed with the desire for money, material things, lust, power, etc., and they pursue endless pursuits, and eventually indulge in lust and cause disaster.

Chinese traditional culture emphasizes "acting bravely when seeing justice" and "sacrifice one's life to be benevolent". That is to say, one must have the spirit to dare to sacrifice everything personally in order to uphold justice. The upright character is the embodiment of this spirit and the goal pursued by sages in ancient and modern times in terms of moral cultivation. Lin Zexu once wrote a couplet in his handwriting to encourage himself: "The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great; standing on a wall of thousands of feet, without desire is strong." The first couplet warned himself to listen to various different opinions, and the second couplet strengthened himself to put an end to selfish desires and be a good official who is upright and uncompromising. "Being strong without desires" reveals a truth: if you eliminate selfish desires, you will be fearless; if you are fearless, you will be upright and upright.

If people want to live, they will have various "desires". It is also natural for people to have seven emotions and six desires. "Being strong without desires" does not mean that people are not allowed to have desires, but that selfish desires must be restrained. If you restrain your selfish desires, you will be able to have few desires and a pure heart, and be indifferent and keep your ambitions; if you restrain your selfish desires, you will be able to remain strong and upright, and your integrity will last forever.

Today, facing the complicated world and various temptations from all sides, how do we deal with it? The admonition "Be strong without desire" can be used as a guide for conduct. If a person has no desire to be self-exalted. That is to say, if a person has no selfish desires, his character will naturally be high and pure, and will not be stained by dust.

There are still fake, evil, and ugly phenomena in society. Purifying society and purifying the atmosphere is a long-term and important task that we must shoulder. The ethics of "being strong without desire" will enable us to discern the direction in the fog that blinds our eyes. Moving forward bravely will enable us to uphold justice in the fight against evil and defeat the enemy. "Being strong without desire" makes people like green pines and green cypresses, not afraid of rolling dark clouds, not afraid of rain, storms and violent winds, standing erect in the world and never being broken.

People should respect each other and treat others with integrity in order to gain respect from others. Only on the basis of integrity can success be achieved, and then some lives will be meaningful. On the contrary, you are a failure, can you still be brilliant?
