He served as a local official in Chenzhou for eight years during his career, known as the "Three Terms in Chenyang." Zhou Dunyi was not only a prominent Confucian scholar but also an incorruptible official, laying a foundational theory for China's culture of integrity. His famous essay "Ode to the Lotus" is a masterpiece of integrity-themed literature and a reflection of his lifelong values. The work has had a profound and lasting influence on Huxiang culture and future generations.
