1. Eight verses about honesty and integrity
Author: Yang Xinmin
People’s hearts are mirrors
Is it greedy or honest?
Public opinion is a scale.
Ugly or beautiful?
Word-of-mouth verification.
The merits and demerits of right and wrong,
Heaven and earth are clear.
Good and evil will be rewarded eventually.
People’s hearts are like mirrors.
Official life
People’s hearts cannot be deceived,
Laws and disciplines cannot be violated.
Heaven and earth know good and evil,
Conscience must not be obscured.
Serving the country should be done,
We must bear in mind the suffering of the people.
Be a Ruzi Niu,
Be a gentleman in the officialdom.
Be cautious
Doing evil will be punished,
Accumulate virtue and do good deeds.
Heaven and earth know right and wrong,
You should reflect on yourself every day.
Integrity is respected by the people,
There is no room for cheating the people.
Don’t be harmed by greed,
Be magnanimous and pure for the rest of your life.
Eight points for being an official
Be indifferent to fame and fortune,
Be focused on the suffering of the people.
Downplay your political achievements,
Leave more of your descendants.
Be indifferent about money,
Be careful about laws and disciplines.
Make friends more quietly,
Learn more history.
Innocence
Allusions in history,
Literary stories of misfortunes and blessings.
The ethics of officialdom are low,
Regrets will last for eternity.
Don’t be greedy for fame and fortune.
Money is an external thing.
Be clean and leave your descendants alive,
Be diligent and hard-working for future generations.
Instructions at the door

Don’t violate discipline and be honest.
Self-reflection
Don’t be greedy, don’t gamble, don’t play for sex,
Be calm with simple meals.
Do not break the law and be strict with yourself,
Be diligent and thrifty and make contributions to your duty.
Be an official not for money,
Do your duty and fulfill the wishes of the people.
It is the duty of a public servant to work for the benefit of the people,
A clean life with no regrets.
Desire, greed and fear
Desire is like a pool of water in a dam.
If the dam breaks, the water will flow and it will be difficult to recover.

If the cage is opened, the beast will swallow people up.

How many evil consciences can you indulge in?

You must remember that the good times of the year are the time of orange and green.
Note: Orange-yellow-orange-green time: refers to the time when oranges turn yellow, and when oranges turn yellow and are still green, it refers to the end of autumn and the beginning of winter in the lunar calendar.
Enlightenment of the Philosophy of Honesty and Lianness Although the chrysanthemums have withered and fallen, there are still proud and unyielding chrysanthemum branches in the cold wind, frost and snow. The author praises the chrysanthemum's pride and cold resistance with the poem "The chrysanthemums are still with proud frost branches".
So much so that later generations often use this line of poetry to describe and praise the noble character of a man of integrity who has an awe-inspiring character and does not bow to evil forces. Our officials and politicians should also have such character.
2. Farewell to Xin Jian at the Furong Tower (Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty) The cold rain came to Wu at night, and the guest Chu Shangu was sent off at dawn. Relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other like a heart filled with ice in a jade pot.
Notes Pingming: Dawn. Chushan: refers to the mountains in Zhenjiang area.
Bing Xin: A clear and pure heart, a metaphor for a pure heart. Mao Hu: A teapot made of jade, a metaphor for nobleness and purity.
This poem by Wang Changling, inspired by the philosophy of integrity, uses the vast river rain and the lonely Chu Mountain to set off the poet's desolate and lonely feeling when bidding farewell to his guests, and also shows the poet's cheerful mind and strength. character. There is an intentional or unintentional echo between the solitary mountain standing in the river and the sky and the image of Bing Xin placed in the jade pot, which naturally reminds us of the image of the poet who is solitary and proud, pure and pure, and also tells us this kind of philosophy of incorruptibility.
To be a good and upright official, one must be "a heart of ice in a jade pot", that is, be pure of desire and spotless in the depths of the soul, and establish noble moral sentiments. 3. Song of Limestone (Ming Dynasty by Yu Qian) Thousands of hammers and thousands of hammers have carved out the deep mountains. If you take it easy to be burned by the fire, you are not afraid of being shattered into pieces. You want to leave green and white in the world.
The Philosophy of Integrity reveals that noble emotions and tenacious will are not born with them, but must be like lime, withstanding thousands of temptations, after being struck by thousands of hammers, burned by fire, and destroyed by fire. Only through the training of breaking one's body and bones can one be able to form one and leave one's innocence in the world. 4. Bamboo and Stone (Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xie (xiè)) The green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are still in the broken rocks.
Despite all the hard work, I am still strong, no matter how strong the wind is from the southeast to the northwest. The philosophy of Tulian reveals that noble emotions and tenacious will are not born with them, but they must be like lime, which can withstand thousands of temptations and be tempered by thousands of hammers, burning fires, and broken bones. , and leave innocence in the world.
5. Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai (Qing Dynasty, Gong Zizhen) The sun is setting in the day when I am about to leave, and I sing my whip to the east and point to the end of the world. Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers.
Notes ①The vast sorrow of separation: boundless sorrow of separation. Li: refers to leaving Beijing.
②Yin whip: the poet's riding whip. East Point: Point eastward.
At that time, the author left Beijing through Guangqumen in the east of Beijing. The philosophy of Tulian reveals that "falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flower." From the poet's point of view, as an individual, the life of a fallen flower has ended, but when it turns into spring mud, it can protect and nourish new ones. The life of the flower branch will be continued in the next generation, reflecting the new value of life, and will eventually give birth to a blooming and brilliant spring! All our officials and politicians should have a mind like Gong Zizhen's, dedicating everything they have to society selflessly, cultivating pillar talents, cultivating an atmosphere of integrity, and having no regrets even if they sacrifice themselves.
6. Untitled (Li Shangyin, Tang Dynasty) It is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered. The spring silkworm's silk will not be used up until it dies, and the wax torch will not dry until it turns to ashes.

Enlightenment from the Philosophy of Discipline: "The spring silkworms will not run out of silk until they die, and the wax torches will turn to ashes before their tears dry up." This is a famous line from Li Shangyin's poem that has been passed down through the ages. How many people have been moved and lamented by it.
My heart is like a silkworm spinning silk unless I die. Tears of lovesickness are like a candle burning on its own, it will only stop when it burns to ashes.
These two lines of poems were originally intended to describe the pain of lovesickness and to express the steadfast love that lasts until death. However, it also provides us with profound enlightenment on integrity.
Our people’s public servants, as social elites and advanced elements, should be like spring silkworms, making selfless sacrifices for the happiness of the people and social progress, spinning out the last strand of silk; they should be like candles, sacrificing themselves , Achieve others, live endlessly, and contribute endlessly. 7. Hanju (Southern Song Dynasty, Zheng Sixiao) The flowers are not in full bloom, but the fun of being independent and sparse is not exhausted.

③Sparse fence: sparse fence. Unfinished: endless.
④ "Ning Ke" sentence: It means that the chrysanthemum would rather hold its fragrance and wither on the branches. ⑤ He Zeng: Na Zeng, never.
North wind: cold wind. There is a pun here, and it also refers to the brutal power of the Yuan Dynasty.
Enlightenment of the Philosophy of Peilian In this poem, the chrysanthemum does not bloom together with other flowers, which shows its unique and extraordinary temperament and style.
Although it is "independent and sparsely guarded", it does not feel lonely or isolated, but is "not exhausted of interest".
The reason for this is that it has the noble moral integrity and spiritual state that it would rather "die with the fragrance on the branches" than "blow down in the north wind". Our politicians and officials are in office. 4. Famous quotes about integrity
