Confucius' words are quoted here to prove that "humble room" means that "humble room is not humble, and sages live in it." Echoing the last article, "I am humble, but I am virtuous." Turning the word "ugly" upside down and reaching the perfect state of "not ugly" is the finishing touch of the full text, which highlights the author's noble and proud sentiment and poor and happy interest.

The full text is only 8 1 word. By praising the humble room, the author expresses his ambition to be a noble person, care for the poor and not collude with the secular. The article has distinct levels, starting from the mountains and rivers, pointing out the theme of "I am a humble room, but I am virtuous and fragrant", and then starting from the outdoor scenery, indoor people and things in the room, rendering the elegant realm of the humble room and introducing the residence of ancient Junyan. The ancient sage's words strengthened the meaning and ended with questions, with a long aftertaste.

Creative background:

The author participated in Wang's "Yongzhen Innovation" and opposed the separatist forces of eunuchs and buffer regions. After the failure of innovation, he was demoted to Anhui and Zhou Xian as a secretariat. When he saw that the author was demoted, he deliberately made things difficult for him. Hezhou county magistrate arranged for him to live in Chengnan River. Instead of complaining, the author is very happy. He also casually wrote two sentences and posted them on the door: "Face the river, look at the white sails, and compete with the state."

The magistrate of a county was very angry when he learned that he ordered the staff in the office to move the author's residence from the south gate of the county to the north gate of the county, and the area was reduced from three to one and a half. The new house is by the Desheng River, with weeping willows nearby, and the environment is OK. The author still didn't care, but looked at the scenery and wrote two sentences on the door: "weeping willows are beside the Qinghe River, and people are in Liyang and their hearts are in Beijing."

The magistrate of a county saw that he was still carefree and indifferent, and sent someone to transfer him to the county center, giving him only a hut with only one bed, one table and one chair. In half a year, the magistrate of a county forced the author to move three times, each time the area was small, and finally it was just a room. The author then angrily wrote this "Humble Room Inscription" and had a stone tablet carved and stood in front of the door.
