The north wind blows: "The north wind blows, blowing the cypress branches in front of my garden. The tree is strong and not afraid of the wind, and its integrity is still self-possessed. The heart has not wavered despite the frost, and the sun has returned and the scenery is getting better. Idle flowers The wild grass is still luxuriant, what will happen to the cypress trees when the wind blows? "How long will it last when the north wind blows?" In this poem, Yu Qian uses the cypress trees in the north wind as a metaphor for people's perseverance, expressing that no matter what kind of adversity they are in, they should be strong. A life attitude of "morality and self-restraint". During Yu Qian's tenure as an official, this upright spirit was reflected in many places. In the past, officials from all over the country had to go to Beijing to attend meetings, and most of the people who came to the meeting presented silver. However, Yu Qian never brought any gifts every time he came to Beijing to perform affairs. Someone advised him: "You are unwilling to send gold and silver, why can't you bring some local products?" Yu Qian smiled smartly, shook his sleeves and said, "There is only the breeze."
