Some eulogies or cautionary words describing life stories are mostly used to praise and exhort others. Later, it gradually evolved into an independent style, generally using rhyme. 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".

Edit the translation of this paragraph.
Mountains are famous not because they are high, but because there are immortals (alive); The water is not in its depth, and the dragon has an aura. This is a humble house, but I (the owner of the house) have a high moral character (so I don't feel humble). The moss is green and grows to the steps; The grass is green and reflected in the curtains. I talk and laugh with knowledgeable people, and there are no uneducated people. I live here and can play the unpretentious piano and read Buddhist scriptures. No loud music disturbs the ears, and no official documents make the body (mind) tired. My home is like Zhuge Liang Caotang in Nanyang and Yang Ziyun Xuanting in West Shu. Confucius said, "What's so simple?"
