Introduction to the work "Humble Room Inscription" is selected from 608 episodes of "Full Tang Literature". "Ming" was originally carved on ancient metal vessels and inscriptions.
Some eulogies or cautionary words describing life stories are mostly used to praise and exhort others. Later it gradually developed into an independent style. Due to its unique historical origin, this style is short and concise. According to the classification of China's ancient style, "Ming" is a practical writing. If you understand the meaning of the inscription, you will understand the meaning of the question, that is, to praise the humble room, and the content included is to praise the noble character of the people in the humble room. In fact, it is to praise the reality of moral quality in the name of humble room, which is what the author really means. Express your ambition by holding something, so as to clarify the author's attitude towards life and outlook on life. This is quite similar to Ailian's Theory.

This paper only uses the meaning of "what is a humble room" and also includes the meaning of "a gentleman's residence". Here, Confucius is quoted to prove that "a humble room is a gentleman's residence, and a humble room is not humble." Echoing the last article, "I am humble, but I am virtuous." "Turning the word" ugly "over completely and reaching the perfect state of" not ugly "is the crowning touch of the full text. It highlights the author's noble and proud sentiment and poor and happy taste.

Mountains don't have to be high, and immortals living there will become famous mountains; The water doesn't have to be deep. If there is a dragon, it will become supernatural water. This is a humble house, but I don't feel humble because of my noble character. The moss is green and grows to the steps; The grass is green and reflected in the bamboo curtain. Talking and laughing are all knowledgeable people, but not knowledgeable people. Here you can play the unpretentious piano and browse Buddhist scriptures. No music, no official documents.

Liu Yuxi
Liu Yuxi
Liu Yuxi (772-842) was born in Luoyang, Henan. The word Meng De, who claimed to be a Lushan native in his later years, was an active participant in the ancient prose movement, a writer, philosopher and politician in the Tang Dynasty, and was known as "Liu Binke" and a poet. Liu Yuxi was born in Jiaxing (then Suzhou) and Luoyang (now Henan). He said that he was born in Zhongshan (now Dingxian County, Hebei Province). A great poet, writer, philosopher and progressive thinker in Tang Dynasty. Liu Yuxi lived in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. In his later years, he served as the crown prince's guest, proofreading etiquette minister, making friends and writing poems, and living a leisurely life. After his death, he was posthumously appointed Minister of the Interior. There are more than 800 poems in existence. His poems study folk songs, reflect people's life and customs, have a wide range of themes, and draw lessons from the implicit, simple and beautiful characteristics of Bashu folk songs in style, which are fresh and natural, healthy and lively, and full of life interest. His satirical poems often use allegorical excuses to attack and suppress the innovative dignitaries in Yongzhen, which involves a wide range of social phenomena. In his later years, his style became more subtle, ironic and unobtrusive. There are more than 40 poems with folk songs, including Liu Binke's poetry anthology (called Liu Mengde's poetry anthology). When Liu Yuxi was in Luoyang, he and Bai Juyi jointly created the inscription "Recalling Jiangnan". There are more than 800 poems in existence. His poems study folk songs, reflect people's life and customs, have a wide range of themes, and draw lessons from the implicit, simple and beautiful characteristics of Bashu folk songs in style, which are fresh and natural, healthy and lively, and full of life interest. His satirical poems often use allegorical excuses to attack and suppress the innovative dignitaries in Yongzhen, which involves a wide range of social phenomena.
The real author is Cui Mian.
Cui Mian is the real author of Humble Room Inscription. The author of the traditional masterpiece Humble Room Ming and various selected books, such as Liu Mengde's Collected Works, Selected Prose of Past Dynasties and Selected Translation of China Ancient Literature, are all recognized as Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty. The editors of teaching materials and teaching reference books echo each other, and the teachers echo each other, transmitting the wrong information from the wrong place to the wrong place, which has been maintained to this day. Look up Liu Yuxi's biography in China Personal Names Dictionary: "Deng Zhenyuan's second branch of Jinshi Hongci. Official regulatory advice. Attached to the king, he was demoted to Sima Langzhou, and he wrote more than ten Zhi Zhu Ci poems, which are famous in Wuling. I have been calling back for a long time. He also wrote a poem "Xuandu View", which is related to ridicule. Out of Bozhou secretariat, easy to Lianzhou, and moved to Kuizhou. Later, he was admitted to Suzhou by the secretariat of Hezhou, where he served as a doctor of subject and guest and a bachelor of scholar. Move the prince's guests again. Yu Xi relies on talent and wastes it, so he adapts himself to the article. Su Shi's poems are good, especially in the later period, Bai Juyi was promoted to a poet. Huichang China-Canada calibration department minister passed away. There are "Collected Works of Liu Bin" and "External Collection". " In his biography, Liu Yuxi only wrote Zhu Zhici and Guan, but did not mention My Humble Room Inscription. The mood of writing Zhuzhi Ci is the same as that of being despised at that time. According to the biography of New Tang Book 168, "Xi 'an and the defeat, western Henan reduced Lianzhou to the secretariat, and before it arrived, it abolished Langzhou Sima. When the state meets barbarians, the customs are very poor. This family likes witches and ghosts, and every temple has a poem "Zhi Zhu Ci" ... Yuxi said that Qu Yuan lived in Yuan, and Hunan intercropped "Nine Songs" to make Chu people welcome God. But with his voice, he wrote more than ten Zhi Zhu words. " Liu Yuxi was demoted to Langzhou, and the situation was similar to that of Qu Yuan. Therefore, it is completely in line with the objective reality to write Zhi Zhu Ci for Qu Yuan by imitating the Nine Songs. If there is an inscription on the humble abode, it should be included in Liu Binke's Collected Works or Waiji, but I didn't see this article in these two episodes. Who is the author of My Humble Room? Look up "Biography of Cui Mian" on page 905 of China Personal Names Dictionary: "Cui Mian, a native of Chang 'an, Tang Dynasty, has a good handwriting. When you are a scholar, you will be the first person to raise morality. Cenxi (assistant) hid himself in his tools and said, "Today, I admire you. Deeply understand the Book of Rites, explain the number of beans in the ancestral temple in detail, and offer advice to the six relatives. Lu Yi, who was thrifty by nature, scattered clans and didn't live in houses. See his ambition by reading My Humble Room Inscription. Die' filial piety'. "It turns out that Cui Mian is the real author of Humble Room Inscription. This evidence is not enough. Please check the volume of New Tang Book 129 again. Cui Mian said: "I am sincere. Be filial, talented and knowledgeable. When Xuanzong was an official, he rode on the left as a regular waiter, a secretary supervisor and a prince guest. I deeply understand the Book of Rites ... I am thrifty and self-reliant, and Lu Yi follows the clan and doesn't live in a house. I taste the book of humble abode and see my ambition. " There is no doubt that Cui Mian's Dictionary of China's Names comes from the historical materials "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty". It conforms to Cui Mian's talent, life, nature of "frugality" and "not living in a house", and it is true to write "humble room inscription" to express his ambition. To sum up, the real author of "Humble Room Inscription" is not Liu Yuxi, but Cui Mian, so we should correct the mistakes and restore the true colors of historical materials.
Appreciation of editing this passage
Theme of the work
Starting from the theme, Humble Room Ming expresses the humble room by describing the life interests of people who communicate in the humble room. "Humble Room Inscription" shows the author's life attitude of not colluding with the secular, leading an honest and clean life and not pursuing music and entertainment. It expresses the author's noble and proud moral integrity and reveals the author's poverty and happiness. "Ming" is a kind of writing carved on objects in ancient times, which is used to warn oneself or state achievements, and later developed into a style with rhyme characteristics. Cui Mian's prose is concise, profound and unique. Humble Room Inscription is one of his masterpieces. Judging from the title, the author is praising the humble room and writing an inscription for it. Actually, it's not. The author is lyrical by borrowing things. Through the description and praise of the humble room, this paper expresses the author's poor and happy thoughts and feelings in the humble room, and shows the noble integrity of not being greedy for wealth and not colluding with the secular. Noble and proud sentiment, poor and happy interest.
conceive
Viewed from the conception, Humble Room Inscription expresses its ambition by way of contrast. On the other hand, he never mentioned the ugliness of the humble room, but only wrote the ugly side of the humble room. The ugliness was because of virtue, which naturally achieved the purpose of expressing feelings. Expressed the author's noble and proud moral integrity and poor and happy taste.
theme
The full text of 8 1 word can be said to be poor in writing and revealing. The opening words 16 set the tone for the full text. "The mountain is not high, there is a fairy by this name. The water is not deep, and the dragon has spirit. " On the surface, "fairy" and "dragon" add color to the landscape, but in fact they are the masters of my humble abode. The Master of the Humble Room lives in a humble room, but his spiritual thoughts are so rich: The Scholars, The Book of Jin and Su Qin not only describe the ugliness appreciation pursued by the Master of the Humble Room from the aspects of making friends, learning and enjoying, but also the richness of the words Hong, Jin and Su, which are also out of touch with ugliness appreciation. As he himself said, "I am humble, but I am virtuous." He described his noble thoughts and morality with a fragrant aroma, highlighting that the owner of a humble room is not pursuing wealth (no fuss), nor fame and fortune (nothing for nothing), but a clean heart, elegant taste and virtue. The author compares his humble room to Zhuge Lu and Ziyunge, and sets an example to encourage himself. It also shows the author's heart of being poor and happy, so he says, "Why is there inferiority?" By praising the humble room, this inscription expresses the author's attitude towards life, his desire to maintain noble moral integrity, and his interest in life without seeking Wen Da. From this article, we can see that the author pursues elegance and spirit, which makes people feel that the humble room is not simple, that is, the words that directly describe the humble room are "moss marks on the top, grass is green in the curtain", which also makes people feel a little "simple" and gives people more of a hut covered by lush grass, full of vitality. Really, the full text of the humble room is only 8 1, which has three meanings. The first floor (1~3 sentences) points out the main idea by analogy: "I am a humble room, but I am virtuous." "Mountain" and "water" are used to describe the "house", and "fairy" and "dragon" are used to describe the "owner". The theme of the article is "only I am fragrant", but the humble room is unknown. The second floor (sentences 4~7) describes the living environment, guests coming and going, and daily life, revealing the connotation of "Dexin": the environment is beautiful and elegant, reflecting the quiet and indifferent mood of the room owner; A knowledgeable visitor shows the owner's elegant and refined feelings; The natural and comfortable life shows the owner's interest in poverty and happiness and his aversion to secular life, thus pointing out that "virtue and fragrance" are the reasons for "ignorance in humble rooms" The third layer (sentences 8~9) compares my humble room with Zhuge Lu and Ziyunge, and ends the whole article with Confucius' words, implicitly expressing the author's elegance as a gentleman, echoing the "only I am fragrant" at the beginning.
means of expression
The author quoted He Lou's intention of "humble room is not humble" and "being honest only", which dominated the whole article. In terms of expression, Humble Room Inscription integrates description, lyricism and discussion. By describing the elegant environment of the "humble room" and the elegant demeanor of the master, I express my noble and quiet feelings. The writing techniques of Humble Room Inscription are complicated, including comparison, sketch, suggestion, allusions, metonymy and analogy. Rhyme, strong sense of rhythm. It reads naturally and smoothly, and the song is full of echoes, which makes people memorable. Judging from the sentence pattern, Humble Room Ming is mainly parallel prose, with neat sentence pattern, clear rhythm and harmonious phonology, giving people a visual aesthetic feeling. However, the sentence "What is humble?" The inscription in my humble room is also a loose sentence. Therefore, in the sentence structure, "Humble Room Ming" is a combination of parallel prose, which makes the article have a bright rhythm, patchwork language, cadence, harmonious and pleasant feeling to read, and gives people the aesthetic feeling of music. At the same time, the article is mainly composed of five words, with four words and six words in the middle, so the sentence patterns are uneven and the article rhymes to the end. Judging from the clues, the concept of "only I am fragrant" runs through the whole paper: at the beginning, it leads to "only I am fragrant", then it expresses "only I am fragrant" from the aspects of room environment, communication and daily life, and finally sets off "only I am fragrant" with "Zhuge Lu" and "Zi". This is the author's subjective feeling.
Writing method
With the help of humble reasoning, the article expresses the noble character of the author with lyrical style. He sees reason in everything and shows emotion in the scene. It can be said that "love is born of scenery, and scenery is born of love." In this way, the author's leisure and the beautiful scenery of the room are written implicitly and vividly. This article skillfully uses allusions. Take Zhuge Lu and Ziyun Pavilion for example, and quote Confucius: "What's wrong?" Explain that the humble room is not humble, thus enhancing the credibility and persuasiveness of the article's reasoning. In short, the author does not flaunt himself as a "gentleman" in the article, but respects morality and studies law as a gentleman, showing a detached and optimistic attitude towards life setbacks and career bumps. Only in this way, we regard it as a lyric poem praising the humble room to show its owner's indifferent and elegant life interest, rather than an essay explaining that the humble room is not humble.
Edit this paragraph and enjoy it.
first part
(1-3 sentence): The Book of Humble Rooms begins with mountains and rivers, which leads to the topic, which not only appears extraordinary, but also lays the foundation for the Book of Humble Rooms to praise merits in the future. The mountain may not be high or low, and the water may not be deep. As long as there is a dragon, you can be famous. Therefore, although you live in a humble place, you are "fragrant" because of your master's virtue. In other words, of course, the humble room can be famous because of the existence of people with high moral quality, and its reputation can be spread far and wide, and a stone can be carved to commemorate it. Ordinary landscapes give birth to dragons, and humble rooms can of course spread incense through people with high moral quality. This skill of using force is really wonderful, and it can also be described as the author's original creation. In particular, the fairy dragon is the crowning touch of the landscape, and the conception is wonderful. "I am a humble room, but I am virtuous and fragrant", which begins with a fairy tale of mountains and rivers. The author turned his pen and went straight to the subject, which seemed abrupt, but when I looked back, it was seamless, because the comparative sentence above just paved the way for the introduction of this sentence. It also points out the reason why the humble room is not humble, which is the word "good faith" From this point of view, the author wrote this essay after repeated thinking, which is definitely not a temporary inspiration. A quatrain can be an epiphany, but the seamless connection is the accumulation and repeated deliberation of usual skills.
the second part
(4-7 sentences): These sentences describe the simple room environment and colorful daily life. "The moss on the stage is green, and the curtain grass is green. There is no Ding Bai who laughs and has a university. You can tune the pipa and read Jin Dian. There is no confusion of bamboo and bamboo, and the case has nothing to do. " It is the author's summary of the life of people with high moral quality. After the author's interest was clarified in the previous words, the reader's thoughts also entered a good situation. At this time, readers are more likely to accept the author's ideas. He hints at the author's quiet mind with the elegant color of green on the moss mark, and points out the eternal and vibrant life state in silence with the vitality of cyan, using metonymy rhetoric. Make friends, know friends, are noble people, study classics on the piano, and live a leisurely life. Away from noisy music and depressing official duties, such a leisurely life is really enviable. This kind of life style, which is both like a hermit and a secular life, is envied by nobles and yearned for by ordinary people. Through these descriptions, we can see a picture of a fairy's life and express the elegant life interest of the humble owner. Note: the sixth sentence is a positive description, indicating that the author is calm and calm; The seventh sentence is a negative description, which shows the author's rejection of secular life.
the third part
(8-9 sentences): The conclusion quotes "Kong Ziyun: What's the matter?" Quote the words of the ancients, wrap up the whole article, and explain that the humble room is "not ugly" Expressed his pursuit of the highest moral quality of feudal ethics at that time. Perhaps Liu Yuxi's highest requirement for his moral quality is to use the ethical norms affirmed by saints and demand himself. This conclusion, no matter what the content means, combined with the meaning of the question, is ingenious. Because feudal ethics takes Confucian moral standards as the highest moral standards, the affirmation of Confucius saints also gives the best conclusion for his moral quality theory. The thesis should have arguments, and quoting Confucius' sacred words as arguments is undoubtedly the best argument at that time, which is sufficient and irrefutable. "Nanyang Zhuge Lu, West Shu Zi Ting Yun". The author compares Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage in Nanyang with the Xuanting in Yang Zi Yun of Xishu, which leads to his humble abode and the meaning that Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiong are his companions. It also shows that the author regards these two as his role models and hopes that he can have noble moral conduct like them, which embodies his thought of taking the ancient sages as his own responsibility, and also implies that burrow is not humble. In fact, there is another meaning in Liu Yuxi's writing, that is, Zhuge Liang is waiting for the sage to come out in the hut in the middle of the country. What about Yang Xiong? But he is a scholar with fame and fortune and devoted himself to reading. Although he is a top official, his indifference to the ups and downs of official positions and money is a model for future generations. Liu Yuxi quoted the meaning of these two people. What he wants to express is: don't be chaotic in times of crisis, don't be afraid in times of crisis, stick to moral integrity, and don't be surprised by honor or disgrace. I don't want to go with the flow, but I want to show my ambition when I meet the wise Lord of SHEN WOO. If I don't have a wise Lord, I would like to be plain. This combination with the ups and downs of Liu Yuxi's officialdom is more in line with the actual situation. It can be said that the theme of this essay is to express the author's noble sentiment of being indifferent and not serving through the description and praise of the humble room, and to reflect his noble character of not colluding with the powerful.
