Story:
During the Jin Dynasty, Yang Tan, a renowned figure from Mount Tai, was highly esteemed by Chancellor Xie An, and they shared a very close friendship.
When Xie An was seriously ill, he often entered the capital through the Xizhou Gate, and Yang Tan frequently accompanied him.
After Xie An's death, Yang Tan was overcome with grief. He ceased all forms of entertainment for several years and even refused to walk the Xizhou Road again, as it brought back painful memories.
