1. Presented to Liu Jingwen (Su Shi of the Song Dynasty)
The lotuses are gone and there is no rain cover, and the chrysanthemums are still covered with proud frost branches.
You must remember that the good times of the year are the time of orange and green.
Notes?
Orange-yellow-orange-green time: refers to the time when oranges turn yellow and oranges are still yellow and green, which refers to the end of autumn and the beginning of winter in the lunar calendar.
Enlightenment from the Philosophy of Peilian
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". As a result, later generations often use this line of poetry to describe and appreciate 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 Furong Tower (Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty)
Entering Wu in the cold rainy night, I saw off my guest Chu Shangu in the bright light.
When relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, their hearts are 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.
Inspiration from the philosophy of integrity
This poem by Wang Changling uses the vast river rain and the lonely Chu Mountain to highlight the poet's desolate and lonely feeling when bidding farewell to his guests, and also expresses It reflects the poet's cheerful mind and strong 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 have "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 Yu Qian)
Thousands of hammers have carved out the deep mountains, and the fire is burning as if it is leisurely,
Don’t be afraid of being broken into pieces, you want to leave green and white in the world .
Enlightenment from the philosophy of Tulian
Noble emotions and tenacious will are not born with them, but like lime, they must withstand thousands of temptations and go through thousands of trials. Only through the training of being hammered, burned by fire, and shattered to pieces can innocence be formed and left in the world.
4. Bamboo and Stone (Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xie (xiè))
Stand firm on the green hills and not relax, the roots are still in the broken rocks.
After countless hardships, I am still strong, no matter how strong the wind is from the southeast or northwest.

5. Miscellaneous Poems of Jihai? (Qing Dynasty Gong Zizhen)?

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.
Spring silkworms will not run out of silk until they are dead, and wax torches will turn to ashes before their tears dry up.
When you look into the mirror at dawn, you are worried about the clouds on your temples. When you sing at night, you should feel the cold moonlight.
There is not much way to get to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent in visiting.
Inspiration from the philosophy of integrity
"Spring silkworms will not run out of silk until they die, and 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. If my heart does not miss lovesickness, it will be like a silkworm spinning silk. It will never end 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 to achieve others, and their lives will never end. , dedication is endless.

Inspiration from the philosophy of Tu Lian
In this poem, the chrysanthemum does not bloom at the same time as the other flowers, which shows its unique and extraordinary temperament and style. Although it is "independent and sparsely guarded", it does not feel lonely or lonely, 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".
