2. Tao Mu: She was the mother of Tao Kan, a famous soldier in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 243-3 18).

Tao Mu made a living from textiles and adopted his son to study in Tao Kan. Zhan's family education can be said to be rigorous, teaching his son to cherish Yin and be eager to learn, establishing the ambition of making contributions, and edifying his son with loyalty, obedience and diligence as virtues.
Under the guidance of his mother, Tao Kan Jr. always took pleasure in poverty and was eager to make progress. Since he was a child, he studied at night with his mother and worked under the smell of chickens. So Tao Kan studied thousands of books and was proficient in the art of war. He was recommended as a county magistrate by Fan Kui, a good friend of his father's satrap, until he became an officer, commander and general, and made immortal contributions to stabilizing the turbulent political situation in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
