Since the Han Dynasty, officials have been appointed. The husband rules the world, and the people of the four seas are defeated and sick. It is also important for him to make a statement. If you are an official, you will always be big and give up its details; First urgent, then slow; Patent country, not for personal gain.

In ancient times, there was no special translation of the inscriptions and notes of the suggestion court to persuade Wang to be an official. From senior officials or doctors to ordinary people engaged in handicrafts and commerce, they can convince the king. It was not until the prosperity of the Han Dynasty that the title of remonstrator was given. Entrust the political affairs of the world, the people of the four seas and the pros and cons of the country to the remonstrator and let him tell everything correctly. (Advising officer) The responsibility is quite heavy! To be a good exhorter, we should pay attention to the important aspects and abandon the subtle aspects; Put the urgent things ahead and the unimportant things behind; Only contribute to the country and don't put yourself first. People who are eager for fame are bound to covet profits. (If so, you will become an admonition officer) How far is it? In the early days of Tianxi, Zhenzong issued a letter and set up six remonstrances to supervise the emperor's behavior. During the celebration, Qian Jun began to write the name of the admonition officer on a special document, and I was worried that the name would be erased after a long time. In the eighth year of Jiayou, the name of the admonition officer was engraved on a stone.

Comment on the inscription of the admonition court This paper discusses the responsibility and importance of the admonition officer. The author thinks it is very important to remonstrate with the emperor, so it is necessary to set up remonstrance officers. Because of the great responsibility of the remonstrator, we must be cautious and loyal, and carve the name of the remonstrator on a stone for the supervision of people at that time and later.

Explain that the author dares to speak frankly and does not flatter; Loyalty and condemnation of traitors, not for personal gain. In the "Inscription of the Court of Advice", he asked the admonition officer to "aim high, be stingy with details, be anxious first and then slow down; Patent country, not for personal gain. People who pursue fame are still eager for profit. What a difference! He once said that there is nothing he can't tell others about what he has done in his life. His integrity and frugality have always been praised by the public.
