People who are addicted to taking in this world don't avoid goods to enrich their rooms. I don't know if I'm tired for myself, so as not to accumulate. Even if you are lazy, you will be abandoned, and if you migrate, you will get sick. If you can afford it, but you don't like it, you will respect your position and get a lot of money, but you will be insatiable, so that you will be close to danger and you will not know how to quit before you die. Although its shape is big, its name is also named, and wisdom is a bug. It's enough to mourn your husband! (Selected from Liu Zongyuan's Biography of Slugs in Tang Dynasty)

Translation:

Now those insatiable people in the world, when they see money, don't avoid it and use it to increase their property. They don't know that wealth and commodities have become their own burdens, but they are afraid that the accumulation of wealth is not enough. When they collapsed due to negligence, some were dismissed from office, and some were exiled to remote areas, which was considered as suffering. If they are used, they don't think about repentance. They think about improving their status and increasing their wages every day. They are insatiable and almost fall to their death. They see those who commit suicide because they are desperately corrupt officials, and they don't know how to learn from them. Even though they look huge and are called "people", they are as knowledgeable as bugs. It's so sad!
