The source of this classic comes from the Biography of the Book of Jin Yin Haochuan: "One is knowledgeable and clear, the other is weak and has a good reputation. You are so metaphysical, and you are so old and easy. Resign if you talk generously, and win if you write an article. The reason for generosity is for the romantic talker. Or ask Hao,' What's the point of being an official dreaming of coffins and getting rich dreaming of dung?' Hao yue:' the official is corrupt, so he gets the official and dreams of the corpse. Money is dirt, so you will get money and dream of dirt. "People think this is a famous saying."
Yin Hao (AD? ~ 356), Chen Jun, a native of Jin Dynasty, was deeply rooted. Jian Wendi (Sima Yu) served as General Jianwu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was the secretariat of Yangzhou. At that time, Huan Wen was in power and even feared him. Therefore, Jian Wendi regards Yin Hao as a confidant and competes with Huan Wen. So Huan Wen bears a grudge against Yin Hao. In the 6th year of Yonghe (AD 350), Yin Hao became a general, commanding military affairs in Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and in the 9th year of Yu Yonghe (AD 353), he led the army to the Northern Expedition. As a result, he was defeated and all the military storage equipment was lost. Huan Wen took the opportunity to impeach Yin Hao and depose Yin Hao as Shu Ren.
Yin Hao is knowledgeable and distinguished. When I was young, I had a good reputation, especially good at the subtle meaning of Buddhism and Taoism. His uncle Yin Rong likes Laozi and Zhouyi. When arguing with david moses, Yin Rong beat david moses, but when writing an article, Yin Rong was better. Therefore, Yin Hao has become the object of reverence for those who like to talk. Someone once asked Yin Hao: "Before I went to be an official, I dreamed of a coffin; Before I got the money, I dreamed of feces. What is the reason? " Yin Hao replied: "The official position is rotten, so I dreamed of the body when I was about to become an official. Money is dirt, so when you want to get money, you will dream of dirty things. " At that time, people thought Yin Hao's words were wise words.
