Tao Gong had great ambitions since he was young. His family was extremely poor, so he lived with his mother, Zhan. Fan Kui, a fellow countyman who was well-known, was selected as a filial and honest official and stayed at Kan's place. At that time, ice and snow accumulated day by day, and Kan's room was as dark as a hanging chime, while Kui had many horses and servants. Kan's mother, Mrs. Zhan, said to Kan, "You just go out and entertain the guests, and I will take care of the affairs myself." Zhan's hair fell to the ground, and the lower part was broken into two buns. She sold several bushels of rice, chopped down the pillars of the house, cut half of them into firewood, and ground the remaining hair into horse grass. Every day and evening, he provided fine food, so that his followers had nothing to lack. Kui was amazed at his eloquence and felt deeply ashamed of his kindness. The next morning he left, and Kan followed him closely, and they walked for about a hundred miles. Kui said, "The road is long, you should go back." Kan still did not return, so Kui said, "You can go now! We will talk about your good deeds in Luoyang." Kan then returned. Kui and Luo then praised them to Yang Zhi, Gu Rong and others, and they won great praise.

When holding the main utensils, one should hold them lightly as if he cannot hold them. When holding the main utensils, such as coins, jade tablets, and jade discs, one should use the left hand, and walk without lifting the foot, and the wheels of the wheels should drag the heels. When standing, the chime should be broken and the pendant should be dangling. If the master's pendant is leaning, the minister's pendant should be dangling. If the master's pendant is dangling, the minister's pendant should be dangling. When holding jade, those with a pendant should wear a sling; those without a pendant should wear a sling.
