"Straight through, not rambling" embodies the noble quality of a gentleman who is reasonable, upright and does not cling to powerful people. This sentence comes from the Song Dynasty poet Zhou Dunyi's "Love Lotus", which means that the center of the lotus stem runs through, straight without bending, and there are no branches and vines. "Direct communication with the outside world" reflects the gentleman's understanding of things, and "not rambling" reflects the gentleman's integrity and not clinging to power.
