Incorruptible
The breeze blows with both sleeves and the body is light, so I don’t feel alarmed when I knock on the door in the middle of the night. Observe the law, resist temptation driven by greed, and learn from the lotus to be well-off. The infinite spring scenery must eventually end, and the autumn dews are cold and the swans cry sadly. Don't wait until the flowers in the morning have faded, only to cry in the evening.
Bamboo and Stone
Stand firm on the green hills and never relax, their roots are still in the broken rocks. It has endured thousands of blows but is still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south.
Poem of Refusal of Gifts
The breeze blows with both sleeves toward the sky, not carrying an inch of Jiangnan cotton. Ashamed, the soldiers and the people paid tribute to each other, and shed tears like springs in front of the horses.
