The first floor goes from "Mountains are not high" to "Only I am virtuous", using mountains and rivers as an analogy to lead to a humble room. "Not high" and "not deep" are used to set off "humble", "immortal" and "dragon" are used to set off "virtue", and "name" and "spirit" are used to set off "xin", implying that the shabby house is not shabby. The humble room becomes "lovable" because of the "virtue" of the owner. This is the bright spot where the humble room shines. This clarifies the purpose of the short article.

The second layer describes the characteristics of the humble house, from "green on the upper steps with moss marks" to "the labor shape of a calf without a case". First, the natural environment is quiet and quiet. Moss marks can "go up" the steps, grass color can "enter" the curtain, and the words "up" and "in" are more vivid. Moreover, one green and one green, the colors are clear and beautiful, and full of life. The natural environment of the humble room looks unique and elegant, like a "paradise". Second, the people he interacts with are good. Since the people who "talk" and "talk" are all Confucian scholars, it is natural to imagine the virtue and talent of the owner of the humble house. This is a good contrasting technique. However, the sentence "There is no idle relationship between people" shows that the ancients valued the Confucian way of making friends that "no friends are as good as oneself", which to some extent reflects the author's self-admiring and arrogant ideological tendency. Third, the taste of life is elegant. "Tune the plain qin and read the Golden Scripture", written from the front, is a literal writing, expressing the calmness and elegance of the owner of the room; "No messy ears of silk and bamboo, no labor of reading the case" written from the negative side, is an imaginary writing, expressing the owner of the room Aversion to worldly life. In short, the author describes the scene in the room, the people in the room, and the things in the room, all with the purpose of showing that "only I am virtuous and kind", implying that a shabby house is not shabby. This also provides a factual basis for the following conclusion of "Why is it so bad?"

The third level summarizes the full text. First, "Zhuge Lu" and "Ziyunting" are used as analogies, which reflects the author's ideological state of describing himself as an ancient sage, implying that a humble house is not a humble one. Then he quoted Confucius's words, "How can a gentleman live in a shabby house?" The finishing touch summarizes the whole text, which echoes the "Only My Virtue and Heart" at the beginning of the chapter, and effectively expresses the author's noble sentiments of living in a shabby house and not considering it shabby.
