Anecdote of Fan Zhongyan when he was studying, the story of Fan Zhongyan reading

Broken tooth painting porridge. When this person was a child, his family was poor, and when he was studying, he could only break a few pickled vegetables a day, and when a pot of gruel solidified, it was divided into 4 equal portions, and he ate a piece of porridge and a few pickled vegetables at a meal, and then ate the last piece at night.

Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was two years old, and his family was poor and had no support, so his mother remarried Changshan Zhu. When I grew up, I knew my family background, and I was moved to cry goodbye to my mother, and left to Nandu to enter the school. He studied hard day and night, never unbuttoned his clothes and slept well for five years, often faint and tired, washed his head and face with cold water, often couldn't even eat a meal of gruel, and didn't start eating until the sun was past noon every day.

Finally, the essentials of Broadcom's "Six Classics" have generous ambitions for the world, and he often says to himself: "Scholars should worry before the world is worried, and Li Caile after the world is happy." ”

1. In the eighth year of Song Zhenzong's Dazhong Xiangfu (1015), Fan Zhong drowned in the Jinshi, was received by Zhenzong Zhao Heng, and went to the banquet of the imperial gift. In the following decades, Fan Zhongyan made remarkable political achievements, such as pacifying the locust plague in Jianghuai and building the "Fan Gong Dike".

However, due to the fact that he likes to "pick thorns" for the high-level, the official career is like taking an elevator, up and down, up and down. When Zhang Xian's Empress Dowager Liu E was in power, he accused Renzong Zhao Zhen for a while that he should not lead a hundred officials to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday.

After a while, he asked the Queen Mother to return to power, and was demoted to Suzhou; After Zhao Zhen became pro-government, he was reused, but he wrote books one after another to discuss state affairs, ridiculed the evils of the times, and demanded reforms, but offended Prime Minister Lu Yijian and then degraded Raozhou.

2. Fan Zhongyan was unwilling to bend when he was an official in the court many times, fought against evil forces, and was demoted several times. When he was relegated to Raozhou, he suffered from lung disease. Soon, his wife Li also died of illness in Raozhou.

A friend who was an official nearby sent him a song "Lingwu Fu", saying that the people in the court regarded his several outspoken words as ominous calls. Tell him to keep his mouth shut in the future and be just a bird that soars high.

Fan Zhongyan immediately wrote a song "Lingwu Fu", and replied, no matter how people hate the dumb voice of the crow, I would rather die than live silently.

3. Someone once heard Fan Zhongyan's prayer in a spiritual shrine:"Will I be Prime Minister in the future? "God said no.

Asked again:"I can't be a prime minister, how about being a good doctor? "Whether as a prime minister or as a good doctor, although the nature of work is different, the benefit of the people is the same.

Fan Zhongyan's idea of being a good doctor without being a prime minister is indeed the essence of the intellectuals' thinking of that era. "Resolutely run away"It is said that Fan Zhongyan learned of his life experience when he was twenty years old, and resolutely ran away from home to the south"Ying Tianfu Academy"Read and learn.

4. When Fan Zhongyan was studying in Nanjing, Emperor Zhenzong passed by Yingtianfu, and people rushed to visit Zhenlong Tianzi, even the teachers and students in the academy were no exception. Fan Zhongyan was the only one who sat still, only concentrating on reading his sage books.

His classmates, who had been friends with him, said to him, go and see the Son of Heaven, what a rare opportunity. But Fan Zhongyan only casually said, "It's not too late to see you in the future", and continued to read without even raising his head.

In the second year, he really entered high school, and when he took the palace examination, he had the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven. Not only that, but later he also participated in the imperial banquet held by the emperor.

5. When Fan Zhongyan was demoted to Zhejiang as an official, a small official Sun Juzhong died in office, his family was poor and young, and he could not return to his hometown due to lack of travel expenses. Fan Zhongyan gave hundreds of taels of money, and hired a boat to send the coffin and the family back to their hometown.

He sent an old official to escort him. In order to avoid being blocked by the checkpoint on the way, he handed over a poem and instructed, "Pass the checkpoint and take this out." "Shiyun:

Ten mouths carry Pan Juchuan, and the warmth and heat go to sadness when they come. If Sekitsu wants to be known as a surname, this is an orphan and widow ship. ”

1. Draw porridge with broken teeth.

Fan Zhongyan lost his father at an early age, and moved to Changshan with his stepfather when he was four years old, and studied hard at Liquan Temple. Because of the poor family, they used two liters of millet to cook porridge, and after the porridge solidified overnight, cut it into four pieces with a knife, eat two pieces in the morning and evening, and then cut some pickled vegetables to accompany the food. When he was tired and sleepy from studying in winter, he washed his face with cold water, and when he had nothing to eat, he drank gruel to survive.

The difficult life that ordinary people can't bear, but Fan Zhongyan never complains.

After hard study, Fan Zhongyan finally entered the Shi and the first in the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1015), and the official went to the governor's office.

2. Rigorous study.

Fan Zhongyan wrote the epitaph for others, and when he was about to send it after writing the letter, he suddenly thought: "This inscription can't help but let Yin Su read it." The next day, Fan Zhongyan handed the inscription to Yin Zhu for a look, and Yin Zhu read it and said:

Your article is already very famous, and future generations will follow your article as a model, so you can't be careless. Now you write the history of the transfer envoy and the governor as Taishou, although it is elegant and ancient, but now there are no official titles, and future generations will inevitably be puzzled, which is the reason for the controversy among the vulgar literati. ”

After hearing this, Fan Zhongyan sighed and said, "Thank you for watching it, otherwise, I would almost make a mistake." ”
