Examples of people who do not follow the crowd are:

1. Qu Yuan,

"The Emperor Gaoyang is a descendant of Miao, my emperor is called Boyong." A true Nobles care about the people, are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. With no choice but to be ruled by villains, his innocent heart was suspected and he was exiled. But he did not want to follow the crowd and chose to throw himself into the Miluo River.

2. Ji Kang

One song "Guangling San" cannot satisfy the sorrow and anger in my heart. I have no ambition, so I can only put my ambition into music and literature. Be leisurely and at ease in the spiritual world, and do not join in the troubled times with the thieves and ministers. Eventually he was framed and died.

3. Tao Yuanming.

Tao Yuanming, also known as Tao Qian, whose courtesy name is Yuanliang, is known as Mr. Jingjie. His hometown is Chaisang, Xunyang. He was a well-known great poet and poet from the late Eastern Jin Dynasty to the early Southern Song Dynasty. He had many excellent works spread throughout the world. Tao Yuanming once entered the official career and successively held official positions such as offering sacrifices to wine in Jiangzhou and joining the army in Jianwei.

In the first year of Yixi, Tao Yuanming had just passed his forties. Tao Yuanming, who was leisurely at home, could not withstand the persuasion of his good friends and once again became an official as the magistrate of Pengze County. This was also the last time Tao Yuanming took up an official position.

While in office for nearly three months, it happened that Xunyang County sent a postal supervisor to the local prosecutor's office where Tao Yuanming was serving. Liu Yun, the dispatched postal supervisor, was a very vicious man. His abominable reputation for greed was known to everyone within a hundred miles. In fact, he came here to accept bribes and corruption.

Every year, Liu Yun, the postal supervisor, would take advantage of the opportunity to inspect official duties and collect bribes from various counties and local people's anointing. Every time he returned, his luggage would be full. If the county officials did not hand over "gifts" to honor him, he would use this as an excuse to frame him.
