Features: The content of this book: True Alliance Zhao Daling entrusts his wife to leave his mother: Poem: Who says that alliances are easy, If not deep, the bonds of friendship are not strong. It is rare to bind with gold, and hard to bind with faces, but it is hard to bind with hearts. The long friendship of Yang and Luo is no more, And Fan and Zhang are not to be hoped for today. In ordinary times, the eyes of the ignorant are not white, But when they encounter Kongfang, their hearts turn black. Like the ups and downs of the waves, many good friends turn into enemies. Fill your hands with wine and listen to my newly composed poem, Let me pour out my heart. This poem speaks of the fickle nature of human hearts and the difficulty of making friends. Because friendship is one of the five relationships, whether scholars, farmers, artisans, or merchants, they follow their kind, and it is inevitable for each to have friends. But the old customs are no more, and human feelings are shallow. Those who are generous with wealth and money, and who readily promise help in times of trouble, are rare. Most measure friendship by the amount of gold. Therefore, rich friends end, while rich and poor friends do not.
