Story:
Legend has it that during the Jin Dynasty, when Tao Kan was young, his father passed away. As they were preparing for the burial, a cow from their household suddenly went missing and could not be found.
While searching for the lost cow, he encountered an old man. The old man told him, 'On the front hill, I saw an ox resting in a hollow on the mountain. If you bury your father there, you will attain the highest official position.'
Tao Kan followed the old man's guidance and buried his father at that spot. Later, he indeed rose to become a high-ranking official.
