Bao Zheng's "Inscription on the Wall of Duanzhou Prefecture Hall"

Work Description

Wall Inscription at the Prefectural Office in Zhou By Bao Zheng of the Song Dynasty A clear mind is the foundation of governance; An upright path is the way to live. Fine timber will one day become a pillar; Refined steel never bends into a hook. When granaries are full, mice and sparrows rejoice; When grass is gone, hares and foxes grow anxious. The annals preserve this lesson: Do not bring shame to those who come after.
