Sima Qian wrote in "Historical Records": "Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit." "Fame and wealth" are closely related to everyone. We treat fame and wealth There should be a right attitude.

In order to survive, Tao Yuanming initially worked as a minor official in the state, but because he couldn't stand the bad style in the officialdom, he soon resigned and returned home.
Later, in order to make a living, he successively held some low-status official positions and lived a life of inactivity and officialdom.
Tao Yuanming served as an official for the last time, when he was already past his "forties". On the recommendation of his uncle Tao Kui, he once again served as the magistrate of Pengze County.
Once, the county sent a postal supervisor to learn about the situation. Someone told Tao Yuanming: Those are people sent from above, and they should be dressed neatly and respectfully to greet him.
After hearing this, Tao Yuanming let out a long sigh: "I don't want to be humble and courteous to these guys just for the five dollars' salary of a small county magistrate." After saying that, he resigned from his official position and went home.
