In this regard, there was a man named Yin Hao in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who gave another explanation by his own experience. According to the historical records, someone asked Yin Hao: "If you will be an official and dream of a coffin (if you will be an official and dream of a coffin), you will get rich and dream of shit. Why?" Yin Hao's explanation is: "The official is stinky, so he will get the official and dream of the corpse; Money is dirt, so you will get money and dream. " His explanation became a famous saying for a while. I want to send a coffin board, which may be where the auspicious meaning comes from. But Yin Hao is cynical and despises "official wealth", so his words are amazing.
Yin Hao is an official of the second generation, but he doesn't like being an official and regards officials as "smelly and rotten". He is lofty and quiet, and likes reading Laozi and Zhuangzi. But he is really a talented person. The court asked him to be an official many times, but he ignored him. People who know him in the DPRK are anxious: "If you can't afford it, you can't afford it!" Deep source is Yin Hao's word, which means, Yin Hao, if you don't come out to be an official, you just don't care whether the people in the world live or die. Later, Yin Hao finally came out to be an official. This man who was brainwashed by the philosophy of Zhuangzi and Zhuangzi didn't know what it was like to be an official before he became an official. As soon as he sat in the official position, he became addicted. It's not enough for the official to be the secretariat of Yangzhou. How big is Yangzhou? Several provinces than now! He is a civilian, but he still wants to make contributions by dancing with guns and sticks, and he has the ambition to restore the Central Plains and hit the Yellow River. Yin Hao, who was originally lofty and quiet, used to ask him to be an official, but now he is chasing fame and fortune with a whip.
Sima Qian put it well: "When you enter the palace, you will see jealousy." Say an ordinary woman. As soon as she entered the palace, she became a woman like Lv Zhi and Wu Zetian. An ordinary man becomes a man like Reese and Zhao Gao as soon as he becomes an official in the DPRK. There is a man named Huan Wen, who grew up in Yin Hao and grew up naked. He has always been a good friend, but now he has become a colleague and a "political enemy", and no one refuses to obey anyone. Huan Wen once asked Yin Hao, "What is your comparison with me?" Yin Hao evaded the importance: "If anyone is stronger, I still want to be myself!" The closer you get, the more jealous you get. So the two of them hit it off.
Yin Hao is a civil servant, and fighting is not his strong suit. In 353 AD, he led his troops to the Northern Expedition, and the first battle was a fiasco. After years of northern expeditions, there were many battles and defeats, and there were complaints from top to bottom. So Huan Wen seized the opportunity to participate in a book of Yin Hao. The history book says: "When he heard of his defeat, he was guilty of being generous, and he was abolished as Shu Ren and moved to Xinyang County, Dongyang." This book is hard enough. Yin Hao's official position and title were rolled to the end, and he became a common people, and he was also exiled to a remote place. Yin Hao returned to the "no official, but light weight" before he became an official. But now it's not what it used to be. Now, although it's quiet on the surface, it's like boiling soup in my heart. I'm sitting alone all day and feeling bored, and I don't say a word. Although my family can't see his sadness of losing his official position, they see him "writing empty books all day." "Empty book" is a very funny word, which means "comparing pictures" in the air with your hands. The family looked at it for a long time and saw that Bihua was "strange". I am so depressed that I can't speak, pointing to the sky and painting the earth, sad!
Huan Wen remembered the friendship of riding a bamboo horse when he was a child, and thought that Yin Hao was really learned and talented, but he couldn't command a war. He should have done a good job as a civil servant and shouldn't have treated him like that, so he wrote to Yin Hao, intending to let him come out as an official again. When Yin Hao received the letter, the depression in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she immediately wrote back to Huan Wen. The letter was written, "There are fallacies, and dozens of people open and close, competing for empty letters." Yin Hao was so excited that he was afraid of improper wording, so he took out the letter and read it before putting it in, put it in and then took it out, repeated it dozens of times, and didn't put it in the last time. Huan Wen received an empty envelope, suddenly annoyed and broke up with him.
Yin Hao didn't wait for an official's reply, and finally died of depression.
god wants to play a trick on a person, even the parties will feel dumbfounding. I used to ask him to be an official, but now I know what it's like to be an official. "Thinking" about an official becomes a disease. It turns out that officials are not "smelly and rotten", but a feast that makes people mourn.
