Its original name is "Danyang Collection", and it is also known as "Collection of Fan Wenzhenggong's Works". A collection of poems and essays. Written by Fan Zhongyan (989-1052) of the Northern Song Dynasty. Twenty volumes, four volumes as a separate volume, and five volumes as a supplement. Zhong Yan, named Xiwen, was orphaned when he was two years old. His mother remarried to the Zhu family. From his surname and given name, he was said to be from Wuxian County, Suzhou (now part of Jiangsu Province). When he was promoted to Jinshi by Dazhong Xiangfu, his surname was changed. Yan Shu was recommended as the school manager of Mi Pavilion. He was once a member of the civil service, Wai Lang, a deputy envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy, and a governor who participated in politics. When he was in office, he was honest and outspoken, and observed the sufferings of the people. Together with Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu and others, he suggested to Renzong ten things such as reforming the official system and paying attention to agriculture and mulberry. Because of being slandered, he died of illness on the way to Yingzhou. His posthumous title is Wenzheng, and he is known as Fan Wenzhenggong in the world. It was compiled into a book in the fourth year of Yuanyou (1089), with a preface by Su Shi. It contains two volumes of Fu, three volumes of poetry, five volumes of discussions, odes, notes, and books, five volumes of sacrificial texts, inscriptions, and tomb lists, and five volumes of tables. A total of 268 poems and 165 essays were collected. The four volumes of "Bieji" were compiled by Qi Huan in the 13th year of Chunxi (1186). They include one volume of poems, two volumes of poems and a preface. A total of thirty-seven poems were collected. The five-volume "Supplement" was collected and compiled by Sun Nengjun, a descendant of Zhongyan during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It contains one volume of memorials and prefaces, one volume of lyrics, one volume of inscriptions and postscripts, and two volumes of inscriptions and memorial texts. Zhong Yan specializes in poetry, lyrics, and prose, and many of his works have rich political content. The famous "Yueyang Tower" expresses his ambition of "worrying about the world's worries first, and rejoicing after the world's happiness". The text mostly uses four words, mixed with couplets, descriptive narrative and magnificent scenery, and has been passed down through the ages. His poetry and poetry are also magnificent in realm and desolate in style, breaking through the elegant style of poetry in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. There is a version of "Sikuquanshu", a version of "Zhuzaotang Sikuquanshu", and a Yingming version of "Sibu Congkan" (titled "Collected Works of Fan Wenzhenggong").
Reader comments
This "Fan Wen Zheng Ji" is very good! Fan Zhongyan's literary attainments are truly admirable, and his poems and prose are very contagious. Especially in "Yueyang Tower", the sentiment of "worry before the world's worries, and rejoice after the world's happiness" resonates with me. I think he is not only an excellent writer, but also a responsible politician. His works are like a mirror, allowing us to see our own responsibilities and missions. I like his writing, and I also like his persona. This book is really worth reading!
