4. If you throw away the black gauze, you will not be an official. The bag is fluttering and the sleeves are cold. ——Zheng Banqiao "I tell you to return home and paint bamboos to say goodbye to the gentlemen and people of Weixian County"

"If you throw away the black gauze hat, you will not become an official." The poet uses the black gauze hat to symbolize the official position. Throwing away the black gauze hat means giving up the official position.

5. The breeze blows with both sleeves toward the sky, so as not to hinder Yama’s short and long words. ——Yu Qian's "Poetry on Entering Beijing"

Through this poem, the poet expresses his belief that he is an honest official, not afraid of people's comments, and sticks to his moral bottom line. This image of integrity and incorruptibility has an important impact on people's understanding of the image of officials and the establishment of moral standards in later generations.
