Born in Wuxian County, Suzhou in 1989, 1052 died in Xuzhou. Although this "all-rounder" lived only 64 years old, he wrote a brilliant chapter in the combination of military and political affairs, education, literature, calligraphy and charity in his life.
Fan Zhongyan, a great man, had an unfortunate childhood. He embarked on the road of being an official by studying hard. However, he was repeatedly criticized for insisting on "telling the truth" and never "choosing a side station" during the ups and downs of his career.
However, he has always faced life with perseverance, proudly rushed to the field he yearned for, and always adhered to noble sentiments, which can shine the most dazzling historical light. He was the most outstanding "all-rounder in civil and military affairs" in Song Renzong era, the first visionary politician, strategist and educator in the literary world of the Northern Song Dynasty, and also a great writer. Fan Wenzheng's official library has not only been handed down from generation to generation, but also preserved more than 300 poems and long-distance post stations and borders.
First, study hard, starting with the manager joining the army.
Fan Zhongyan's ancestors were very prominent. The ancestor Fan was once the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and by his father's generation, he was reduced to the secretary of the Wuning Army in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the second year of Fan Zhongyan's birth, his father died of illness and his family declined.
In order to survive, his mother Xie had to remarry the son Taishou Mountain, and Fan Zhongyan was renamed Zhu Shuo.
Fortunately, the family after mother's reorganization supported the young Fan Zhongyan to study, although she was poor. However, Fan Zhongyan had to study hard to maintain his hard-won reading opportunities.
Fan Zhongyan stayed up until he was 26 years old, and finally got all the admission tickets before the scientific examination, and was able to go to Beijing to catch the exam, the highest level. High school succeeded in one fell swoop, and with a score of 97, he was awarded the position of manager of Guangde Army to join the army, that is, the lowest-level clerk handling lawsuits and cases.
Fan Zhongyan is still very excited. After all, with the work in the establishment, he resumed his surname of "Fan", took his mother to Beijing to support the elderly and started his own business.
After nearly two years of hard work in his first post, Fan Zhongyan was recognized by the organization for his "honest management of prisons" and was immediately promoted to a cadre of "Wen". Soon after, due to his outstanding work performance, he was immediately promoted to a department-level leader, and "Qing Ji Army was promoted to an officer".
In the first few years, Fan Zhongyan worked very smoothly and had a bright future.
Second, go to the grassroots and return to Beijing after 6 years.
In this way, Fan Zhongyan worked as a departmental cadre for five years. At the age of 33, the organization trained him to exercise at the grassroots level. First, he served as deputy county leader Taizhou Xixi Salt Warehouse Supervisor, responsible for supervising the storage, transportation and resale of Huai salt.
After taking office, Fan Zhongyan saw that the seawall was in disrepair, so he proposed to build seawall defense, which was approved by the court. Therefore, in the third year when Fan Zhongyan was in charge of salt supervision, he was appointed as the county-level cadre "Xinghua County Order" and was also in charge of the weir repair project. This is the famous "Fan Gongdi".
During this period, Fan Zhongyan's mother died, and according to the regulations, she had to resign. Fan Zhongyan rushed back to Yingtianfu to attend the funeral. It happened that Teacher Yan Shu 1027 was appointed Yingtian House in Nanjing, and invited him to Yingtian Academy after the funeral to help with the education work.
As a result, Fan Zhongyan has nearly one year's teaching management experience in Yingtian Academy.
1028, 39-year-old Fan Zhongyan deeply felt the disadvantages of current politics at that time, and combined with his own ideas, boldly presented a letter to Song Renzong. It was suggested that the imperial court reform historical governance, abolish redundant staff and appease generals, which was appreciated by Prime Minister Wang Zeng. That is, Yan Shu was strongly recommended to Song Renzong, and Song Renzong attached great importance to it, so he called Fan Zhongyan back to Beijing as a librarian who enjoyed the treatment of departmental level cadres and specially collated royal classics.
Third, offending Empress Liu, the second grassroots.
1029, Fan Zhongyan saw that Queen Liu, who had been listening to politics for seven years, had no intention of returning, nor did she think about the consequences. He wrote a letter directly to Queen Liu: "Lafayette, you can enjoy your old age at any time and let the emperor handle state affairs by himself."
Fan Zhongyan's small proposal is tantamount to putting the authority of Queen Liu directly on the fire. This Fan Zhongyan is just a small "secret cabinet school", that is, the so-called not being told, and there is nothing worthy of praise.
Empress Liu was furious and immediately issued an "imperial edict" ordering the peasant to be driven out of Beijing.
Poor Fan Zhongyan "didn't sit hot" in Beijing, so he rolled back to work in county-level cities, almost starting from scratch.
This is Fan Zhongyan's Two Grassroots. He first served as a small deputy-level cadre, "Chief Justice He Zhongfu" for nearly two years, and then transferred to "Chief Justice Zhou Chen" for more than three years.
Four, offend Song Renzong, three grassroots.
1033, Liu died, and at the age of 24, he was able to lead the state affairs. Perhaps it was because of Fan Zhongyan's brave words that he ordered the 45-year-old Fan Zhongyan to return to Beijing to handle affairs. He was directly promoted to the position of "Right Division" and became a departmental leader.
Because of the severe drought in the world, he arranged for Fan Zhongyan to take a part-time job and open a warehouse in Jianghuai area for disaster relief.
During this period, when Queen Guo was managing the harem, she accidentally hurt her. Song Renzong was very angry. The prime minister took the opportunity to suppress Queen Guo, please, and suggested abolishing it.
This move made Fan Zhongyan, an honest man in honest and frank, "bow to his knees" and argued in court that there was nothing wrong with Queen Guo. Why do you say it will be abolished?
Naturally, Lv Yijian become angry from embarrassment, Song Renzong also not happy:
"Good Fan Zhongyan, you are unappreciative, and you are an idiot. You are out of sight, out of mind, and you don't have to worry about it. You'd better stay away and work somewhere else. "
As a result, Fan Zhongyan was sent to work in a prefecture-level city less than a year after returning to Beijing. These are his "three basic units".
Fan Zhongyan, with outstanding ability, did not sigh because of this, but worked hard happily. He first served as a well-known CPC leader in Zhou Mu, and then transferred to Suzhou. Both of them made remarkable achievements.
After entering Zhou Mu, Fan Zhongyan praised Zhou Mu as a good place in his letter to his teacher Yan Shu, and tried his best to promote its economic and social development to a higher level. "I am afraid that one day I will get rid of it." He also had a special liking for Tonglu County under his jurisdiction, and wrote many well-known poems, such as Xiao Sa Tonglu Ten Unique Poems, Tonglu Ten Unique Poems, Tonglu Huai Shang Three Poems and Tonglu Zhai Shu, which have been widely circulated so far.
In Suzhou, Fan Zhongyan promoted "county study", built water conservancy and dredged five canals, and successfully introduced Taihu Lake into the sea.
Five, offend the rights of Lv Yijian, look at the grassroots.
Because Fan Zhongyan has made remarkable achievements in Zhou Mu and Suzhou, especially in Suzhou, Fan Zhongyan's "Three Grassroots Work" lasted only three years.
/kloc-at the beginning of 0/036, Song Renzong transferred Fan Zhongyan back to Beijing and appointed imperial academy. Later, he was promoted to provincial and ministerial level leadership, that is, the mayor where the capital is located.
Fan Zhongyan returned to work in Beijing again, still performing his duties conscientiously, and bravely eliminating his shortcomings, which won the praise of the people in Beijing. "The court is not worried about Fan Jun, and the capital has nothing to learn."
However, Fan Zhongyan's active work offended Lv Yijian, and he always "zoomed in" to find his problems. When Fan Zhongyan presented a map of officials, he warned that "Emperor Renzong should personally take charge of the promotion of officials" and framed Fan Zhongyan for allegedly "cronyism" on the grounds of "saying things beyond his authority". This move touched the soft spot of Song Renzong, who was very worried that Fan Zhongyan would be disloyal. Under the psychology of "believing in its existence", Fan Zhongyan was demoted to "knowing Raozhou" and reduced to the leadership of the CPC.
Fan Zhongyan had to "go to the grassroots". At this time, not many people in the DPRK sent him farewell, and they no longer valued him, thinking that he would never "make a comeback" from then on.
May Yao Chen, a good friend, made a spiritual blessing to comfort him and suggested that he learn a lesson. Fan Zhongyan was deeply moved, but still said that he could not change his "outspoken" character, and returned Wu Fu, saying that he always adhered to the lofty righteousness of "preferring death to surrender and living silently".
So Fan Zhongyan went to Raozhou alone for another four years.
1040, Li Yuanhao, king of Xixia, defeated Song Jun at Sanchuankou because of the increasing border aggression. Seeing that the military situation was critical, Song Renzong hurriedly transferred Fan Zhongyan, who was full of knowledge, back to Beijing. He was appointed as the leader of Yongxing Army in Tianzhangge, and later promoted to the rank of "straight bachelor of Longtuge" at the provincial and ministerial level. Together with Han Qi, he served as the commander of border defense and "the appeasement deputy envoy of Shaanxi", and together with the coach Xia Song, he stopped the Xixia invasion.
Loyal Fan Zhongyan immediately took office and invited "Zhiyanzhou" to train "Kangding Army" to defend against the enemy. The following year, he wrote, "Strengthen the border defense and Xu Tutsi will recover." Under a series of tactics such as Fan Zhongyan's contact with the Qiang people, building a city and consolidating the military blockade, the Xixia army could not capture Dashun City for a long time and withdrew on 1042.
The famous fisherman Qiu Si was written by Fan Zhongyan during this period, expressing his warm military feelings:
The scenery in Qiu Lai is different, and Hengyang Goose is unknown. Around, the sound of the horn sounded, thousands of miles away, and the long smoke closed. A glass of turbid wine is Wan Li's home, but Ran Yan hasn't come home yet. Qiang tube covered with frost, people do not sleep. The general was white-haired and in tears.
Su muzhe Blue sky is also a word written by Fan Zhongyan at the same time, expressing his homesickness:
Blue sky, yellow leaves, autumn colors, cold smoke, green waves. The mountain reflects the setting sun and the sky meets the water, and the grass is ruthless, even outside the setting sun. Dark homesickness, thoughts of chasing travel. Every night unless, sweet dreams make people unable to sleep. The bright moon tower is lonely, and the wine turns into sorrow and tears.
Because of Fan Zhongyan's meritorious service in defending the frontier, Song Renzong named him a straight bachelor, a right remonstrator and an envoy of Shaanxi Province. The following year, he returned to Beijing to grant the government deputy envoy, and later served as the deputy country name "participation in politics."
Fan Zhongyan's political career reached its peak. With Song Renzong's strong support, he agreed to let him handle state affairs according to the letter. From 65438 to 0044, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu and other important officials formed the reformists and began to implement the national administrative reform. This is the famous "Qingli New Deal" in history.
Regrettably, the "Qingli New Deal" led by Fan Zhongyan has only been implemented for less than a year. When it was effective, it was jointly suppressed because the deepening reform touched the core interests of many vested groups, accusing Fan Zhongyan of selfishness and being suspected of "factional struggle".
Sixth, the "Qingli New Deal" failed, with five roots.
Song Renzong can't stop the powerful counterattack of vested interests. 1044, Fan Zhongyan was demoted to be the provincial and ministerial leader "Fu Xuan's envoy to Hedong, Shaanxi Province", and later he was demoted to be the CPC leader "Knowing the State" and "Knowing the State".
Fan Zhongyan worked in Dengzhou for nearly three years and made great contributions to "promoting education". The established Huazhou Academy has become a common practice in giving lectures.
The famous five-character quatrain "Fisherman on the River" was written by Fan Zhongyan when he went to Dengzhou to enjoy the scenery by the river, expressing his praise for the hard work of the people at the bottom:
Jiangshan associates with people, but loves the beauty of perch. Look at those poor fishermen, floating up and down in the big waves and rocking in the boats.
During this period, after his good friend Teng gave him a picture of Dongting Lake in Autumn Night, Fan Zhongyan touched the scene and wrote the famous Yueyang Loujiang with the scenery as a metaphor, expressing his feelings and thoughts of "worrying about the world first and enjoying the world later".
1049, Fan Zhongyan, 6 1 year-old, jumped ship and became a department-level leader of "Knowing Hangzhou", and began to care about the elderly and the things behind him. He used his savings to set up "Yitian", bought "Zhai Yi", set up "Yixue" and launched an unprecedented folk charity "Fan Yizhuang" to "care for the clan".
Fan's Yizhuang, from 1050 to the Republic of China, spanned thousands of years of history and effectively guaranteed the support of Fan's clan. During the period, it benefited from the generations of Fan's descendants. When Fan Chunren, the son of Fan Zhongyan, became prime minister, he vigorously developed Yizhuang; In the Ming Dynasty, the 16th Sun Guan went to Zhejiang as an assistant minister to study, and the 17th Sun Guan went to Fujian to attend a conference, both of which expanded Yizhuang. In the Qing Dynasty, the 20th Sun Fanmi Xun donated another 1,000 mu of land to expand Yizhuang. In the late Qing Dynasty, Fan's Yizhuang reached 5,300 mu, the highest at that time.
Fan Zhongyan worked in Hangzhou for nearly two years, and was promoted to "Assistant Minister of Household Affairs" and "Knowing Qingzhou". At this time, Fan Zhongyan was 63 years old and his health went from bad to worse. 1052, Fan Zhongyan invited himself to the nearby "Zhou Zhiying" due to illness. Fan Zhongyan died on his way to Yingzhou at the age of 64.
After Fan Zhongyan's death, Song Renzong personally wrote the tablet of praise for the virtuous in Myanmar, and posthumously awarded it as the minister of war, the king of Chu, and the "Zheng Wen" of posthumous title, enjoying the treatment of vice-state.
