Li Xin was the fifth son of Mao Zeng. He was pure and chaste and had high ideals, but he was weak and sickly when he was young and refused to marry or take up a career in government. He lived in Linhai, near the tomb of his brother, the Shizhong. Since he had a high reputation, Prime Minister Wang wanted to invite him to a position of honor, so he appointed him as an official in the government. When Xin received the letter, he said with a smile, "Maohong has lent me another cup of wine!"

Those who serve in the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Academy shall be seated three seats apart from each other, and may be asked questions. At the end, they shall lean against the wall. If the list of things is not finished, they shall not be asked. In all schools, the spring officials shall offer sacrifices to their ancestors, and the autumn and winter officials shall do the same. All newly established scholars must offer sacrifices to the sages and teachers; and when they do things, they must use money. All offerings must be made in harmony, otherwise it is not necessary for the country. All great music must be played to support the elderly. All those who speak in the suburbs must select the virtuous and gather talents. Some may be promoted by virtue, some by deeds, and some by words. All musical performances are sworn in, waiting for the next talk. If one of the three has achieved it, then he shall be promoted to a higher level, and according to his order, he shall be called a suburban person and kept away. It is the same as Chengjun and taking a title from the upper lord. When a newly established scholar has raised instruments and coins, he shall then offer food without dancing or giving instruments, and then leave. He shall be in the East Sequence, and offer once, without any interjection. Teach the crown prince.

Hao Long served as a military officer in the Southern Barbarian Army under Duke Huan of Qin. On the third day of March, Hao Long met with the army and wrote a poem.

He answered, "The barbarians call fish 'fish'." Huan Gong asked, "Why do you write in the barbarian language when you write a poem?" Long said, "I came a thousand miles to join you and was appointed as a military officer in the barbarian government. How can I not write in the barbarian language?"
