河南辛普明僑居會稽，自少與兄共處一帳，兄亡，以帳施靈座，夏月多蚊，普明不以露寢見色。 Xin Puming of Henan, living in Kuaiji, had shared one canopy with his brother from boyhood. When his brother died he gave the canopy to the spirit seat. In mosquito-ridden summers he slept in the open without complaint.

兄將葬，隣人嘉其義，賻助甚多，普明初受，後皆反之。 As his brother's burial approached, neighbors admired his devotion and gave generously. Puming accepted at first, then returned everything.
