In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Yin Hao. Because he once held the post of "Zhong Jun", he was called "Yin". He used to be "General Jianwu", in charge of military forces in Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou. Later, he was dismissed from office because of the failure of the battle and exiled to Xin' an (now Zhejiang Province). Yin Hao is very knowledgeable. He likes Laozi and Yijing, and he can make it clear with quotations.
Yin Hao has a nephew named Han and Compaq. He is clever and good at talking. Yin Hao likes him very much, but he is very strict with him. When Yin Hao was exiled, Compaq left with him. Once, Yin Hao saw him giving a speech to others. After listening carefully, Compaq completely copied his own words and relayed what he had said. Without his own original ideas, he showed a smug look. He said unhappily, "Compaq felt great before he even got the dirt behind my teeth." I really shouldn't. "
Yin Hao (303~356), a native of Changping County (now Xihua County, Henan Province), was the son of Prime Minister, General, talkative Taishou and Guangluxun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

anecdote
Talk to Shang
When Xie Shang, the general of Zhenxi, was young, he heard that Yin Hao was good at talking and went to visit him. Yin Hao didn't elaborate too much, just gave Xie Shang a little truth and said hundreds of words; Not only the manners are charming, but also the words are colorful, very touching and shocking. Xie Shang is so focused and yearning that he can't help sweating. Yin Hao calmly ordered his men: "Take a towel to wipe Xie Lang's face."
Speaking of forgetting food.
Sun Anguo went to talk to Yin Hao, and they argued back and forth, trying their best to make both sides impeccable. The waiter didn't want to eat when he served the food. Food is cold and hot, cold and hot. This has happened several times. Both sides struggled to shake off the dust, so that all the hairs of the dust fell out and the food was full. At night, both sides didn't even expect to eat. Yin Hao said to Sun Anguo, "Don't be a stubborn horse, I want to wear your nose!" Sun Anguo replied, "Didn't you see a cow with a broken nose? Beware of people grinding your cheeks! "
Unreasonable rhetoric
Yin Hao once went to Danyang to talk with Liu Yin and talked for a long time. Yin Hao was a little indefensible, so he always used some floating words to deal with it, and Liu Dan no longer replied. After Yin Hao left, Liu Wei said, "Hillbilly, you must learn from others to make such remarks!"
Metaphysical culture in Wei and Jin Dynasties
When Yin Hao was a long history under Yu Liang, he once went to Beijing, and Prime Minister Wang Dao called everyone together for him. Huan Wen, Zuo Changshi Wang Meng, Lantian Hou Wangshu and Zhenxi General Xie Shang were all present. Wang Dao left his seat to untie the dust hanging on the tent belt and said to Yin Hao, "I want to talk to you today and analyze Hyunri." After two people chatted, it was already midnight. Wang Dao and Yin Hao argued back and forth, and nothing else took part. After a hearty debate, Wang Dao sighed, "I've been talking about Hyunri, but I still don't know where Hyunri originated. As for theme and metaphor, they can't be opposite. This is exactly what happened in the Qing Dynasty! "
humanity
Yin Hao asked: "What kind of nature nature nature gives to human beings is unintentional. Why are there fewer good people and more bad people? " No one here can answer. Only Danyang Yin replied, "It's like pouring water on the ground. Water just flows around and never happens to be square or round. " At that time, everyone appreciated it and thought it was a famous saying.
Debate ability
Zhi Daolin and Yin Hao are both in the residence of Sima Yu, king of Huiji. Sima Yu said to them, "You can try to have a debate. However, the issue of gender relations is probably a strong fortress in Yin Hao, so you should be careful! " When Zhi Daolin began to discuss this issue, he changed his direction and pushed the issue of talents far away. However, after several rounds of arguments, I entered Hyunri, Yin Hao. Sima Yu patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "This is his specialty. How can you compare with him! "
Burning medical books
Yin Hao was proficient in medical skills, so he dropped out of school in middle age. There was a servant, who was always bossing around, suddenly kowtowed to him and knocked his head off. Yin Hao asked him what happened, and he said, "Life-threatening things, but after all, you shouldn't say them." After questioning for a long time, he said, "The villain's mother is nearly a hundred years old. She has been ill for a long time. If you are grateful to the adults for taking your pulse, there is a way out. After the job is done, even if you are killed, you are willing. " Yin Hao was moved by his sincere filial piety and asked him to bring his mother here and give her a prescription. I just took a dose of medicine, and I'm fine. From then on, Yin Hao burned all the medical books.
