Life of the characters

Yuan Yin, a character in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is said to be the son of Yuan Kai and the younger brother of Yuan Shu. In the second year of Xingping (195 AD), he was appointed by Yuan Shu as Taishou of Danyang. Later, he was expelled because sun CE pacified Jiangdong. In the fourth year of Jian'an (199 A.D.), Yuan Shu died. Because he was afraid of Cao Cao, Yuan Yin led Yuan Shu's trilogy, took his coffin and his wife to Wancheng, and went to Lujiang Prefecture Liu Xun. Six months later, the city of Anhui was destroyed by sun CE, and Yuan Yin and others moved to Wujun.
