? There are many celebrities in the world who are remembered by people, their famous quotes are used as mottos, and their mantras are widely recited. What I want to talk about this time is Fan Zhongyan, a figure in our school’s study tour.
? Fan Zhongyan was buried in Yichuan County, Luoyang City. There is a 8.9-meter-high statue of himself at the entrance of his cemetery. It is magnificent. When you walk into his cemetery, you will see a total of 998 trees called Platycladus arborvitae, with an average age of 100 years. There are many stone tablets in his cemetery, among which Qi San Jue Stone is the most famous.
? If you continue walking inside, you will see an ancestral hall named Fan Wenzheng, which contains Fan Zhongyan’s works "Yueyang Tower" and "Moss Curtain Cover" as well as photos and newspapers of other leading cadres who came here. . Walking out of the first two small rooms on both sides of the ancestral hall, these two small rooms tell the story of Fan Zhongyan's life. Let us get to know him better:
? Fan Zhongyan was a writer, politician, and military strategist in the Northern Song Dynasty. His father died when he was two years old, and his mother remarried and changed her name to Zhu Shuo. Fan Zhongyan entered his official career at the age of 27 and worked successively in Taizhou, Xinghua, Naizhou, Suzhou, Raozhou, Runzhou, Yuezhou, Yanzhou, Yaozhou, Qingzhou, Pizhou, Hangzhou, Qingzhou and other places. During this period, he went to Beijing several times under imperial edicts and served as the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, School Manager, Right Secretary of Admonition, Magistrate of Kaifeng, Deputy Privy Secretary, and Participate in the official affairs. He "lived high in the temple and worried about the people" and tried his best to work for the people and eliminate the disadvantages. Whatever you do, you must do your best? Translate Bo Tianxia.
"Be concerned about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the happiness of the world"? Not only was Fan Zhongyan an honest official, he also had strict requirements for his children. He wrote to his family members and asked them to warn their children to "be an official with a pure heart and not seek personal gain" to create a good family tradition.
Through this study trip, I understood many truths and began to reflect on myself. Why can Fan Zhongyan not seek personal gain, care about the people, and be indifferent to fame and fortune? And why can't those corrupt officials do it? They harmed the people and did everything for their own benefit, eating and drinking every day. When have you ever thought about those people who have no food to eat and no warmth to wear in the wind and rain? I am reflecting on whether I am that kind of person, whether I have done those things, and whether I can be like Fan Zhongyan without seeking fame or profit. I believe I can do it in the future.
