Character life:

In the first year of Jianwu (25 years), Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, so Yan Guang lived in seclusion on the Fuchun River in Tonglu and fished every day. Since then, this place is the Diaoyutai in Yan Ziling, Tonglu. Liu Xiusixian was very nostalgic, so he ordered him to visit Yan Guang all over the country. Qi reported that a man dressed in sheepskin was fishing in Zehe River. Liu Xiu suspected that it was Yan Guang, so he sent a special envoy to prepare a car and Meng Xuan, and he began to work in Luoyang, Kyoto.

After giving advice to the doctor, Yan Guang refused to accept it, so he retired to Fuchun Mountain (now Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province) to study and fish. Later generations named the place where he fished Yanling Sese. In the seventeenth year of Jianwu (4 1), the court called him once, but Yan Guang refused. Yan Guang died at home at the age of 80. Liu Xiu was deeply grieved and was buried in Guqianhu, Zhao County, and his tomb was in Chen Shan (Kexingshan).
