Governor Lin appointed, during the opium ban, he had written a couplet in his own town hall: "the sea is tolerant of hundreds of rivers; the wall of a thousand refuges without desire is just," the couplet image vivid, profound meaning. The Union earnestly admonish themselves to listen to different opinions, in order to do things well, invincible; the second line of the temper themselves, when the official must resolutely put an end to selfish desires, because outspoken on the mountain, standing in the world. Lin advocated this spirit, worthy of respect, as a warning to future generations.

"The sea is tolerant", that is, to be open-minded and generous, broad-minded, which is a person, we have a very good performance. There is an old Chinese saying, in the past, the so-called "prime minister can sail in the belly". No matter who is the prime minister is not all there are frank people, but those who think like the sea has a broad view as an honorable person a note.

"The wall is a thousand feet without desire", in the "desire" means that they want something or want to achieve a certain purpose of the requirements. For the physical human instinct. People want to live, there will be a variety of "desire". However, everything has a scale. Longing for more, bigger, will be the original greed; desire too much, too big, inevitably, the gulch is hard to fill. For those who tend to be financial desires, material desires, desires, so fascinated by the power of the mind, they try to catch has not been, and finally moved to lustful thoughts of disaster.

Traditional Chinese culture emphasizes "bravery", "martyrdom". This should sacrifice everything in order to uphold the courage of the individual spirit of justice. The outspoken character is an expression of this spirit, and also a clause of the ancient sages' moral quest to achieve their goals. Lin has a handwritten encouragement for each of the hall couplets: "The sea accepts hundreds of rivers, tolerance is great; the wall stands a thousand refuges, no desire is just" The Union tells itself to listen to different opinions, and the second line to prevent tempering their own desires, to be outspoken and a good official. "No desire is just", which reveals a truth: remove the desire in order to be fearless; fearless, can be just.

People want to live, there will be a variety of "desire". People have feelings and desires, but also natural reason. "No desire is just" can not let people have a desire, but to restrain desire. Restraint of desire, desire can be pure heart, indifferent to save the record; restraint of desire can never be just in front, the obvious part forever.
