Huang Antao, who served as the magistrate of Gaozhou in the fourth year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty, wrote "Poem on Gambling":

"I have given the beautiful house to others, but I cherish the fertile land for my grandfather. Everyone in the family shed tears Like the rain, when the time comes to get married, the clothes are too poor, and the waiter goes out to sell the stall again, and there is no smoke in the kitchen."

Wasting time and endangering health;

Drowning, the future is hopeless. >Staying up all night, feeling depressed;

Poison the society and the nation will suffer.

This poem is right. The "Eight Evils of Gambling" lists the harms in a comprehensive and shocking way.
