Fan Zhongyan's Family Instructions Calligraphy

A word? Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later? Let Fan Zhongyan be called an almost perfect ancient official in the hearts of the world. However, if we really want to talk about Fan Zhongyan's history and his descendants, many people may still be unfamiliar with it. Some people say that among Fan Zhongyan's descendants, there are 80 champions and 400 scholars, and the Fan family has flourished for 800 years.

However, we will find that this is actually impossible after a little textual research. Fan Zhongyan (989~ 1052), a native of Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province, was a famous politician and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Fan Zhongyan was born in a poor family since childhood, but he was always ambitious and brilliant. He passed the imperial examination and entered his official career, becoming a famous writer and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Fan Zhongyan proposed it when he was still a scholar. Take the world as your responsibility? Did this rhetoric have its own later? Worried and optimistic? Known as a famous minister admired by a generation.

Fan Zhongyan in history, when he first entered the official career, had been a local official for more than ten years, and his position was not high. However, Fan Zhongyan worked hard and seriously, and local governance was in good order, with considerable political achievements. Later, the court decided to reuse Fan Zhongyan and transferred him to North Korea as a right admonition.

When Fan Zhongyan was an official in the DPRK, he was famous as an honest official. He is incorruptible in politics, and politically advocates eliminating malpractices and carrying out reforms. However, Fan Zhongyan's reform touched the dignitaries, so he was eventually relegated. Fan Zhongyan, far from the center of political power, became more and more brilliant in poetry, leaving many classic poems.

However, although Fan Zhongyan had a remarkable life and attached great importance to the education of future generations, the imperial examination was still very competitive after all. Even if Fan Zhongyan's descendants are clever, it is absolutely impossible to get 80 top scholars and 400 Jinshi.

You know, in the imperial examination, palace examination was the first scholar, often once every three years, and it was obviously impossible to stop the imperial examination in the Yuan Dynasty. Besides, you should know that even Fan Zhongyan himself didn't win the first prize. If his descendants are really better, how can everyone not know?

It is said that Fan Zhongyan's descendants have produced many champions and scholars, probably based on his admiration for Fan Zhongyan! The real history is that Fan Zhongyan's sons are really excellent, among which Fan Chunren is the official prime minister, and he is proud of his father. However, the whole fann family, really didn't have any champion, also didn't have hundreds of jinshi.
