In the first year of Jingyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1034), Fan Zhongyan returned to his hometown to pay homage to Fan's ancestral hall. After living in Suzhou for a few days, Fan Zhongyan decided to buy a piece of land next to Suzhou Nanyuan, build a house here and go back to his hometown when he was old.
According to the custom of his hometown, before breaking ground, Fan Zhongyan invited Mr. Feng Shui to have a look. Mr. Feng Shui told Fan Zhongyan: "This is a treasure trove of Feng Shui. If you build a house here, your future children and grandchildren will be able to pass the imperial examination and prosper from generation to generation. "
If you were someone else, you would be overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Fan Zhongyan immediately gave up the idea of building a house. You don't understand, Fan Zhongyan explained:
"My home is expensive. If everyone is taught here, you will have nothing."
Fan Zhongyan means: If I build my own private house on this treasure land, it will only make my family rich. If it becomes an official school in Suzhou, all students in Suzhou will come here to study, and there will be many talents in the future.
A year later, Fan Zhongyan asked the court to build the land of Nanyuan as an "official school". Hundreds of years later, Fu Xue in Suzhou had a far-reaching impact on Suzhou and even the whole country. During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Suzhou produced 43 top scholars, half of whom came from Fu Xue, Suzhou. Besides the champion, there are thousands of other scholars.
Zheng s evaluation of Xue Men Ji;
"The study of counties and counties in the world flourished in the Song Dynasty, but it began in Wuzhong. Fan Wenzheng founded the school with his house, and Hu Yan 'an was appointed as the teacher. Since then, culture and education have flourished. "
In other words, the prosperity of local official schools in Song Dynasty began with Fu Xue founded by Fan Zhongyan in Suzhou. With the development of Suzhou Fu Xue, culture and education are flourishing all over the world!
As one of hundreds of millions of scholars in the history of China, Fan Zhongyan's decision greatly prospered China culture. His pattern and contribution are unparalleled. Today, the author is full of tears and introduces you to a nearly "saint" Gong!

Fan Zhongyan, whose name is Wen Xi, is from Wuxian, Suzhou. Before Fan Zhongyan, Suzhou Fan was not famous. Moreover, Fan Zhongyan didn't recognize his ancestors until later. For a long time, Fan Zhongyan was surnamed Zhu instead of Fan. "Song Shi Fan Zhongyan Biography" records:
Zhong You was lonely at the age of two, and his mother was more suitable for Changshan Zhu, according to his name.
In the words of now, Fan Zhongyan's life is hard.
