Story Sima Qian, a famous historian and writer in the Western Han Dynasty, once co-wrote a biography for two ministers under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
One is Ji An, a native of Puyang, who was once a "horse washing prince" when Emperor Jingdi was in power, a "prefect of the East China Sea" when Emperor Wudi was in power, and later a "master teacher". The other is that Chen Ren, Emperor Jingdi was the "Prince Scheeren" and Emperor Wudi was the "Agricultural Order".
These two ministers are both honest officials. They used to rank among the nine ministers. They are famous, powerful and prestigious. People visiting their home are in an endless stream, coming in and out, very lively, and everyone is proud to make friends with them. But because they were too straightforward, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty later disagreed. They lost their official position and power, and no one came to visit them anymore. The Zhai Palace in Kaifeng used to be Ting Wei. When he was in office, the guests visiting his home were very crowded and the doors were crowded. Later, he was just an official and no guests came to visit. As a result, the door was cold enough to open a net to catch birds. The officialdom changed, and after a while, Zhai was reinstated. So, the guests want to visit him again. Cheng Gong was deeply moved and wrote a few words on the door: "Friendship is only known when you die; -poverty and wealth are a state of knowing each other; A responsibility is a shame, and friendship is seen. "
