Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was young. At the age of four, he moved to Changshan with his stepfather and studied hard at Liquan Temple. Because my family is poor, I cook porridge with two liters of millet. After congee stayed up all night and solidified, I cut it into four pieces with a knife, two in the morning and two in the evening, and then cut some pickles to accompany the meal. As an adult, Fan Zhongyan went to Yingtian Academy to study hard. When you are tired and sleepy in winter, wash your face with cold water. When he has nothing to eat, he drinks gruel to make a living. Fan Zhongyan never complains about the sufferings that ordinary people can't stand.
After studying hard, Fan Zhongyan finally became a scholar and official in the eighth year of Xiangfu in Dazhong (10 15).
2, rigorous scholarship
Fan Zhongyan wrote an epitaph for others. When he finished writing and was ready to send it, he suddenly thought, "This inscription can't be read by Athena Chu." The next day, Fan Zhongyan gave the inscription to Athena Chu. After reading it, Athena Chu said, "Your article is already very famous, and future generations will follow your article as an example. Can't help but be cautious. Now you write about transshipment as a secretariat and knowing the state as a satrap. Although elegant and ancient, there is no such official name now, and future generations will inevitably wonder. This is the reason why vulgar scholars argue. "
Hearing this, Fan Zhongyan sighed and said, "Thank you for reading it, otherwise, I almost made a mistake."

Achievements:
1, local governance performance
Fan Zhongyan became Taizhou and recruited more than 40,000 people to rebuild the sea weir. From the fifth year of Tianxi (102 1 year) to the fourth year of Tiansheng (1026), the new dike spans the three countries of Tong, Thailand and Chu, with a total length of about 200 miles. At that time, people's life, farming and salt production were guaranteed, and it also played an important role in "preventing disasters" in later generations.
2, the army thought
In the first year of Kangding (1040), Fan Zhongyan was transferred to the northwest front line and served as the frontier defense coach. In view of the vast territory, sparse population, staggered valleys and dangerous terrain in the northwest, Fan Zhongyan put forward the strategy of "active defense", that is, building castles in key areas, strengthening fortifications and training border guards in order to achieve the goal of defending as the offensive.
3. Literature-Ci
There are five poems written by Fan Zhongyan. Although the number of the first song is small, it is a household name and occupies an important position in the development of Song Ci. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in the Northern Song Dynasty to Song Renzong, enjoying life has gradually become a fashion, and lyrics with eroticism as the main creative theme have also become prosperous. Fan Zhongyan became a poet during the reign of Renzong, and his ci works are rich in content and different in style, both directly writing eroticism and jumping out of eroticism, which is a profound trace left over from the transitional period.
