When Yin Zhongkan was appointed to Jingzhou, Wang Dongting asked him, "Virtue is known as keeping everything intact, and benevolence is known as not harming things. Now you are the governor of China, and you are in charge of killing people. Isn't this contrary to my principles?" Yin Zhongkan replied, "Gao Yao created the system of punishment and exile, and he was not unvirtuous; Confucius was the chief prosecutor, and he was not unkind."

Holy Land

When Prime Minister Wang visited Yangzhou, he was greeted by hundreds of guests, all of whom had a favorable look on their faces. There were only a guest named Ren from Linhai and several Hu people with whom he had not yet gotten along. The Duke therefore went to Ren's border and said, "If you leave, there will be no one left in Linhai." Ren was overjoyed. As he passed by a Hu people, he snapped his fingers and said, "Lanjie, Lanjie." All the Hu people laughed, and everyone sitting there was happy.

Huan Xuanwu was born into a poor family. He lost a lot in a game of chess. His creditors demanded a lot of money from him. He wanted to find a way to get back on his feet, but he didn't know where to start. Yuan Dan of Chen County was handsome and versatile. Xuanwu wanted to ask for help from Dan, but Dan was in a difficult situation at the time and he was afraid that he would be suspected, so he tried to tell him. He agreed immediately without any regret. So he changed his clothes, put on a cloth hat and followed Wen, playing with his creditor. Tan had always been famous for his fine art, so the creditor came to the chessboard and said, "Why don't you do something like Yuan Yandao?" Then they started to play together. A throw of one hundred thousand can easily add up to millions. He threw his horse aside and shouted, as if no one was around. He raised his cloth cap and threw it to the man and said, "Do you know Yuan Yandao?"
