Fan Zhen (about 450-5 15) was born in Wuxin, Nanxiang (now northwest of Biyang County, Henan Province). A famous atheist thinker in the Southern Dynasties. According to "Biography of Fan Town in Liang Shu", he is the grandson of Wang VI, a general in North Jin 'an, "lonely and poor, filial to his mother". Before he was a weak champion, Wen and he got together and talked about it, saying that he would learn from scratch, learn without being a crowd, offer strange things and be a champion himself. ..... Since it is long, I know the classics, especially the three rites. "Qi Shi was Ning Man's main book, and later moved to Shangshu Palace, where he successively served as Ren Lingjun's long history, Yidu satrap and Shangshu Zuocheng. He is "straightforward by nature and loves to say dangerous things." Later, he was demoted to Guangzhou for disobeying the emperor's will and was forced to return to Zhongshulang.

In the sixth year of Tian Jian (507), Ren Zhongshu Shi Lang officially published The Theory of Deity Extinction. He asserted that it is impossible to become a Buddha without being dead, that people's wealth and poverty are not innate destiny, and that what goes around comes around is sheer nonsense. When Fan Zhen's "On the Extinction of Immortals" came out, there was an uproar in the government and the public. In order to eliminate its influence, the rulers once wrote down the imperial edict of "answering the theory of the extinction of officials and gods" and oppressed Fan Zhen with power; At the same time, more than 60 princes, dignitaries and monks were mobilized, and more than 70 articles were published to besiege Fanzhen. Jingling Wang Xiaoliang Zi was once again tempted by dangerous pressure, but Fan Zhen still insisted on his own theory and refused to give in. Jean Liang Zi said:' The extinction of God is irrational, but Qing insisted on it for fear of hurting the famous religion. With your great beauty, you are not suffering from Zhong Shulang, but you can destroy it if you stab it well. Zhen smiled and said, "It is enough to make Fan Zhen sell his theory and become an official. Why is it evil to be a scholar?" (Biography of Heather Fan Yun)
