居在吳，晉隆安初，王恭起兵討王國寶，時廞丁母憂在家，恭檄令起兵，廞即聚眾應之，以女為貞烈將軍，以女人為官屬。 The family was living in Wu when, early in the Jin Long'an era, Wang Gong took up arms against Wang Guobao. Yin was then at home in mourning for his mother, but Gong's summons called for troops and Yin at once mustered men to answer it. He made his daughter General of Chaste Valor and staffed his command with women.
