He was a native of Xiagui (下邽) in Shaanxi. In his days of prosperity, his gates were thronged; yet when he was dismissed, a sparrow-trap might have been set in his courtyard. Upon his reinstatement in office, the friends would have returned; but he closed his doors to them, and posted a notice to the effect that true friendship endures even through poverty and disgrace.
