The Life of Characters in Fan Chengda's Works

Fan Chengda was born in Wuxian (now Suzhou, Jiangsu) on the fourth day of June in the first year of Jingkang, Song Qinzong (11June 26th, 2026). He was very clever since he was a child. He read the history of the Bible at the age of twelve and began to write poems at the age of fourteen.

In the 12th year of Shaoxing (1 142), Song Gaozong's biological mother, Wei (Queen Ren Xian), returned to North Korea from the State of Jin, and Fan Chengda was one of the best.

In the fourteenth year of Shaoxing (1 144), I studied in Jianzifu Temple in Kunshan, and I couldn't go out for ten years. He once took a phrase from the Tang Dynasty, "But where is the corner of the mountain" and boasted that this mountain is a layman.

Shaoxing twenty-four years (1 154), Fan Chengda Jinshi.

Shaoxing joined the army in Huizhou in the 26th year (1 156) and arrived in the spring of this year.

In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing (1 162), he went to Lin 'an to supervise Taiping Huimin and Heji Bureau.

In April of the first year of Longxing (1 163), he was appointed as the censor of Gao Zongsheng Government Council and concurrently served as the government office.

In February of the second year of Longxing (1 164), he served as a member of the Privy Council. /kloc-in October/February, he was appointed secretary of the province.

In March of the first year of Dadao (1 165), he served as the school librarian. In June, he also served as editor of the National History Institute. 1 1 month, transferred to Zuo Lang.

In February of the second year of Dadao (1 166), he served as the official minister of Shangshu. In March, he was framed for overstepping his rank, dismissed from office, and immediately took charge of the temple.

Avenue three years (1 167) in December, Fan Chengda was used as a satrap by the court.

Avenue four years in May (1 168), entered the palace to answer filial piety. Chen said that the content of strength includes Japan's strength, national strength and manpower. He thought it was consumed by an emergency at this time, and Xiaoxi adopted his suggestion. In July, I went to Chuzhou. In August, I arrived in Chuzhou. Fan Chengda made a righteous service for Chuzhou. Its law stipulates that: the people take Dubao as the unit, and according to the number of households and the situation of service, each household buys land according to the loss of money of the rich and the poor, and those who collect land to help the service take turns to serve. As long as the righteous service is achieved, it is convenient for both public and private.

Avenue five years (1 169) in May, the court called Fan Chengda as the foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites, the storyteller of Chongzheng Hall, the editor of the National History Institute and the judge of the records. During the reign of Xiaozong Trunk Road, it was stipulated that the number of stolen goods was silks, but the valuation was low and the conviction was heavy. Fan Chengda said: "In the Taiping era, each piece of silk was less than 1,000 yuan, but the valuation was several times higher. In the early years of Shaoxing, the price of silk rose by five points, and 3 thousand was enough. Silk is really expensive now, and it should be twice the price at that time. " Xiaozong said in surprise: "This is a legal provision that makes people embarrassed." So the price of silk rose to 4 thousand, and the punishment was lightened. /kloc-worked as a guest house manager and lecturer in October and February, and still served as an assessor of the hospital. When Song and Jin signed the Longxing Peace Conference, the court forgot to agree on the book collection etiquette, and Xiaozong once regretted it. In the sixth year of the main road (1 170), in May, Xiaozong appointed Fan Chengda as the living lang, acting as the scholar of Senior Minister Tang, Dr. Zuo Taizhong, the visiting scholar of Liquan, and the founding father of Danyang County. He once served as a national envoy, praying for the mausoleum of the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty and asking for more books. Fan Chengda's credentials only mentioned the mausoleum, so he invited and collected the book. Filial piety is not allowed. Before he left, he said to Fan Chengda, "I won't harm you if you don't form an alliance! It is reasonable to eat snow. "Chen Junqing, left, went to that position because he urged him to suspend his mission. Chen Liang, assistant minister of the official department, dismissed from office, blaming Juyunzhou (now Gao 'an, Jiangxi) for saying that it should not be dismissed. Director Li is too scared to do it. Fan Chengda left generously. At that time, the greeting messenger in Xu Jin appreciated Fan Chengda's name so much that he imitated Fan Chengda to wear a towel.

After Yanshan, Fan Chengda secretly drafted the paper, which was devoted to the ceremony of accepting credentials and put it in his arms. Fan Chengda presented his credentials for the first time, and his words were generous. When the rulers and ministers were listening carefully, Fan Chengda suddenly said, "Both dynasties became uncle and nephew, but the etiquette of collecting books was uncertain. I have a memorial hall here. " So I took out the hand board inserted at my waist. Jin Shizong was surprised and said, "Is this the place to submit credentials?" Government ministers from all over the country beat him with hand boards to help him up. Fan Chengda knelt still and must send credentials. Soon, when he returned to his residence, Jin Shizong sent a companion to make a statement for processing. Fan Chengda has been kneeling and presenting credentials, and the Jin Dynasty has been talking about it. The prince tried to kill Fan Chengda, but was stopped by the King of Yue, and Fan Chengda was able to keep his integrity. In September, Chengda returned to Song Dynasty. Rejected Song's invitation, only allowed Xiao Zong to move to the mausoleum, and agreed to return Qin Zong's tribute. After Fan Chengda returned to China, he wrote the Diary of Ambassador Kim. After returning home, Fan Chengda was appointed as the librarian in China. When Xiaozong wrote Cui Mianzhu's money case, even the scholar-bureaucrat's On Politics was given to the assistant minister. Fan Chengda said: "The imperial edict of On Politics was intended to strictly observe the law and discipline and rectify the long-standing abuses. Recently, Dali Temple has agreed to punish them, increasing them by one level in turn. This is not a harsh law for peace, but cruelty. " Xiaozong called what he said wise. Zhang said that he was appointed as a Privy Council member. Fan Chengda drafted a book, refused to issue a detention order for seven days, and gave advice. Finally, he blocked the appointment, but Fan Chengda was also transferred.

Avenue seven years (1 17 1), Fan Chengda wrote "Ying Ji Tang Zhi Jingjiang House (Guilin, Guangxi), Guangxi Messenger of Peace". This is the journey of "making friends with Nanzhai".

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month (1 172), Fan Chengda started from his hometown of Wu Jun (Suzhou), passed through Huzhou and Yuhang in the south, and went to Fuyang to enter the Fuchun River. When I was in Yuhang, I bid farewell to my relatives and friends who came from afar. The scene is extremely miserable. Before, I had to leave my seriously ill nurse in Yuhang. "When I was transferred, my mind was cut off. I believe that life is not as good as death. "

Two days after leaving, everyone is on New Year's Eve. "Send Fuyang. Qian Shan is covered with snow, and the river is blue. Good night, Ji. The wind is sharp and cold. Put on the cotton robe and hat made during the trip and look at the bow, which is difficult to understand. "

Return to Fuchunjiang River, enter Qujiang via Tonglu and Lanxi, then leave Zhejiang via Changshan County, enter Xinjiang in Jiangxi, pass Xinzhou (Shangrao), Guixi and Yugan to Nanchang, and board Wang Tengting; In the ninth year of Ganjiang (1 173), he went to Linjiang Army (Cinnamomum camphora) on January 12th and visited Xianglin on 14th. Fan Chengda was deeply impressed by several big plum trees and ancient beauty. After living in seclusion in Shihu in his later years, he devoted himself to the management of Shihufan Village, "with one third of his land and plum trees".

After crossing Linjiang Army, it entered Shui Yuan, a tributary of Ganjiang River, and entered Hunan via Yuanzhou (Yichun) and Pingxiang. The Pan-Xiangjiang River went south to Hengshan Mountain, named Nanyue Temple, which was not boarded due to illness, and then passed through Yongzhou and Quanzhou by land and entered Guilin on March 10. Among them, the land and water journey was 3,000 miles, which lasted for March. He wrote a volume of travel notes, taking the poem of Han Yu's "It is far better to fly to Guilin to visit immortals" and named it Lu Luan Lu.

At that time, Guangxi was relatively poor, relying entirely on salt, and Cao Chen took all the salt, so his county and city had the disadvantage of selling salt to the people at a higher price. Filial piety issued a letter to restore the banknote salt, and Cao Sikou kept the banknote salt and distributed it to his ministries equally, but the money did not arrive on time. Fan Chengda arrived in Guangxi and said, "Is there any more vital interest than this?" Xiao Zong, the minister of history, said: "We can force Cao Si to reduce the amount he takes to make it more comfortable for the counties, then we can ban selling branches and restraining distribution." Xiaozong adopted his opinion. A few years later, salt merchants in Guangzhou wrote to beg for the resumption of salt trading. The Prime Minister agreed with them and gave them a lot of money to help them. Many people feel bad, but this opinion was sent to the relevant departments for discussion, and ultimately failed to change Fan Chengda's method. The old law stipulated that the government should buy horses at a limit of four feet and three inches, and filial piety was increased to more than four inches. Fan Chengda said that the mutual market should not change suddenly after 40 years. In the second year of Xichun (1 175), Fan Chengda was appointed as the magistrate of Sichuan. On the way, he said, "Tubo and Qing Qiang invaded Lizhou twice, while Nuerjie and Fan Lie were especially cunning and despised China. I want to guide soldiers, build castles outside, explain the methods of training unity, and let everyone fight. These three aspects cannot be done without money. " Xiaozong gave Du Die 400,000 yuan. Before Fan Chengda took office, he changed from Sichuan Post to Back Office Post (Chengdu Road). Fan Chengda thinks that Lizhou is an important town in the southwest border, and it needs to add 5,000 soldiers who can fight. Please set up a road department supervisor. There are eighteen routes of Tubo invasion, all of which are fenced and guarded by troops respectively. Daughter Jie invaded the quiet village and sent 1000 soldiers from Feishan Army to stop it. It is estimated that they ran away in three days, and it turned out to be so. Wang Wencai, the commander of Baishui Village, privately married the daughter of barbarians and often took people to attack the border. Fan Chengda used four rewards to make barbarians doubt each other. Soon, Wang Wencai was captured and sent to prison, and Fan Chengda killed him immediately. There used to be 30,000 righteous men on the northern border of Shu. They are local militia. The prison army and the sheriff waited on them privately, and the commander-in-chief asked them to take turns guarding the border with the army. Fan Chengda tried to stop them, but it didn't happen. Sun Songshou and Fan Hanguang, celebrities in Shu, refused to be officials, and Fan Chengda praised their integrity. All available talents were recruited by Fan Chengda, who gave full play to his strengths, regardless of details. His outstanding letters of recommendation are often famous in the imperial court and spread to the second palace. Make friends with Lu You through writing and become friends who will never look back.

In the fourth year of Xichun (1 177), Fan Chengda left Sichuan as an envoy, set out from Wan Li Bridge in Chengdu at the end of May and entered Panmen in Wu Jun (Suzhou) in October. Different from the previous two preoccupied trips, although it is sad to be with colleagues and friends in Sichuan, the overwhelming emotion of this trip back to China is the joy and relaxation of "running back and forth". This trip is relatively simple: enter the Yangtze River along the Minjiang River, then pass through the Three Gorges, enter Jiangsu through Hubei and Jiangxi, and transfer from Zhenjiang to Changzhou and Suzhou. There are two volumes of travel notes on this trip, named Wu after Du Fu's Boating in Wan Li. Compared with the first two records, this book is the longest and the most important for future generations.

When he returned to Wuchang from Sichuan, he recalled that during this 13 year, he saw the Mid-Autumn Festival in eleven places. "This is different or Wan Li's". At that time, he thought: if you have to "go back to your hometown and hoe with the moon for the rest of your life." In the fourth year of Xichun (1 177), Fan Chengda fell ill and requested to pay homage. On May 29th, I left Chengdu. In October, he was summoned back to Lin 'an, and Xiaozong ordered him to be the minister of rites.

In the fifth year of Xichun (1 178), the minister of rites paid tribute. In April, Chinese doctors visited officials to learn about political affairs and have the right to supervise the revision of national history and calendar. In June, he was impeached by the remonstrating officer and was appointed to be in charge of the temple view.

In the seventh year of Xichun (1 180), he served as the secretariat and coastal ambassador of Mingzhou. He called for tens of thousands of dollars to be removed from the donation of seafood and his predecessor Wang Wei's Zhao Kai to reduce the consumption of manpower, and was approved.

In the eighth year of Xichun (1 18 1), in February, the court appointed Fan Chengda as a bachelor of Duanmingtang because of his "meritorious service in governing the county". In March, Ren Jiankang (now Nanjing) was the magistrate. In April, Fan Chengda arrived. As soon as Jiankang took office, he transferred 200 thousand stone rice saved by the army to help the hungry, and please subtract 50 thousand stone from the rent.

In August of the ninth year of Xichun (1 182), the imperial court "transferred an official" as a reward for his meritorious service in drought relief. 1 1 month, specially appointed by Dr. Tazhong. Wu Xu, a water thief, made an insurrection in secret, known as "General Jingjiang", and was captured and killed by Fan Chengda.

In the tenth year of Xi Chun (1 183), in addition to calling for opening warehouses to relieve hunger, it also ordered the domestic drive to catch migratory locusts. From the solstice of summer to autumn, he asked for resignation and retirement five times because of dizziness. In August of the same year, he was appointed as a Bachelor of Senior Minister and was promoted to Dong Xiao Palace in Lin 'an again. After Fan Chengda retired, he spent ten years in Shihu. In the 13th year of Xichun (1 186), he wrote his last masterpiece Sixty Poems of the Four Seasons, and in the 3rd year of Shaoxi (1 192), he wrote Wu Junzhi for his hometown.

In November of the fifteenth year of Xichun (1 188), it became well-known in Fuzhou. Fan Chengda resigned many times, but they were not allowed. He had to go to North Korea to be summoned, and he was honored, as well as two Su Shi poems written by Dan Sha in calligraphy. Prince Zhao Dun (played by Song Guangzong) also gave him the three characters "Palace of Eternal Life". Later, I discussed things in Yanhetang.

In the sixteenth year of Xichun (1 189), he went to Fuzhou and Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang) and claimed that he was ill. He asked to work in the shrine and was approved by the court. Later, he said to Guangzong, who was newly enthroned, "It's a great event in the world". In the same year, Wu Jun was named the founding Hou.

In the third year of Shao Xi's reign (1 192), Fan Chengda was added to the imperial court as a university student in Senior Minister's Hall, and he knew about Taiping House. Fan Chengda was not allowed to resign many times, so he had to take office in May. In June, the second daughter died, and Fan Chengda resigned and went home.

In the fourth year of Shao Xi (1 193), the Complete Works of Poems and Poems Written by Fan Chengda during his illness was completed, and his son Fan Xin was ordered to ask Yang Wanli for an order.
