how to get all messages of a bulit-in function in mma?

For example, I want to get all messages of Sin.

The messages for built-in functions are often not loaded until they have been issued at least once. For such functions, you might try inspecting Messages.m:

NotebookOpen @
  FileNameJoin @
    { $InstallationDirectory
    ,"SystemFiles"
    ,"Kernel"
    ,"TextResources"
    ,"English"
    ,"Messages.m"
    }

or

FindList[
  FileNameJoin @
    { $InstallationDirectory
    ,"SystemFiles"
    ,"Kernel"
    ,"TextResources"
    ,"English"
    ,"Messages.m"
    }
, "NDSolve"
]
