Fan Pang was an official and celebrity in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His ambition was to clarify the world. During the famine in Jizhou, corrupt officials were rampant and the people rebelled constantly, so he was taken by an imperial envoy to inspect the counties. When he arrived at his post, he told many words to corrupt officials. Those who kept order and stole goods ran away at the sight of the wind. Master Lu Xun moved to Guang Guang and abandoned his post because of disagreement with Chen Fan.
Later, it was founded by Qiu. Because there were more than 20 people and 2,000 stone dignitaries at that time, the court was not allowed to go again. The magistrate heard his name and asked Cao Cao for a tribute. The government, big or small, made up its mind. Therefore, the county said: "Ru Nan Taishou, Nanyang Zongzhu Fan Xuzhi." During his tenure, he suppressed local strongmen, reduced unhealthy tendencies, made friends with too many students, opposed the eunuch's autocracy, and was falsely accused by eunuchs of appointing a "model party."
After nine years in Huan (166), he was arrested at the same time with others because of the party ban, and was tortured and indomitable. After being released and returned, Nanyang scholars welcomed them by thousands of people, and were praised as one of the "eight cares" of celebrities by Tai students. In the second year of Jianning (169), the party disaster reappeared, and the court severely punished party member. Under the imperial edict, the county magistrate Guo Yi wanted to abandon his official position and flee. He resigned from his hometown and died in prison. He is only thirty-three years old.
