Translation of Classical Chinese: Yi Sheng, there are many watches in the world, including centigrade watch, Fahrenheit watch, and now there are honest watches. ..

There are so many watches in the world, such as centigrade watch and Fahrenheit watch, and now there is an honest watch. This is a joke. Honest officials and the people mean that honest officials are role models for the masses.

The List of Honest Officials and People is an exam topic written by Liang Qichao, which means that honest officials are models for the people.

As a result, a big straw bag official misunderstood his meaning and thought it was a thermometer, so he wrote such a paragraph.
