Worry about the worries of the world before others, and enjoy the joys of the world after others

There are more than a hundred ancestral halls in the ancient town of Huishan, and the most well-known one is his. Fan Zhongyan, the first perfect man of the Northern Song Dynasty, who rose to the position of Prime Minister, was posthumously awarded the title of Wen Zheng (the highest evaluation for a civil official) after his death. 🏔Scenic Spot Introduction: Fan Zhongyan's ancestors served as prime ministers during the Tang Dynasty, but by his time, the family had declined. After passing the imperial examination, he served as an official in local government, known for his integrity and fairness. Later, he met his benefactor Yan Shu (whose son-in-law was Fu Bi) in Yingtian Prefecture, who recommended him to work in the central government. Due to his uprightness, he faced exclusion and was reassigned to local positions. Later, during the war between the Northern Song and Western Xia led by Yuan Hao, he became a military commander. He was once again entrusted with responsibilities and initiated the famous Qingli Reforms in response to the current situation. Ultimately, due to factional struggles, he was demoted again. At the request of his friend Teng Zijing, he wrote the timeless masterpiece 'Memorial to Yueyang Tower'! His life was full of ups and downs, setting an example for future generations, embodying the ideal of a scholar-official, remaining indifferent to personal gains and losses. The idiom 'one stroke erases all' originates from him. 📝Check-in Guide: The ancestral hall is large, with three courtyards and a rear garden.
