This person is Fan Zhongyan. I once lived in Changbai Mountain for three years and studied porridge every day. The second-generation classmates around me couldn’t bear to eat congee and pickle (this is the famous "Porridge Draining"). They brought him a hearty meal, but he smiled and refused: If I eat this delicacy, how can I stand it?
Self-discipline and self-control are the instincts of the strong.
He studied hard day and night, and stayed in bed without undressing for five years. How many people in the world can reach this state! That's why Fan Zhongyan was able to pick up his pen to write the high-spirited section of "The Orchid is in the Depths, I Qingfen All Day". The rough background did not make Fan Zhongyan complain about the world, but instead gave birth to a heart of worrying about the people and serving the country.
The heart of the truly strong is always born toward "light". Fan Zhongyan wrote freely and easily when he was struggling to study, "But if you don't lose the grace, why should Jiansong blame the mountain seedlings."
One time coincided with Song Zhenzong's entry to Yingtian. Many students wanted to see the emperor's demeanor. Only Fan Zhongyan was sitting and reading. He said, "Sooner or later, the emperor will take the initiative to summon me. Are you afraid of not seeing me? "
But, in this case, what if it can't be realized?
Fan Zhongyan did not self-hypnotize like today's successology speakers, but rather realistically said: "If you don't be good, you will be a good doctor."
Fan Zhongyan (October 1, 989-June 19, 1052 [1]), written in Greek. His ancestral home in Yuzhou, he later moved to Wu County, Suzhou. Northern Song Dynasty reformer, statesman, military strategist, educator, writer, thinker.
Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was young, and his mother remarried the Changshan Zhu family, so he changed his name to Zhu Shuo. In the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1015), Fan Zhongyan studied hard and became the first, [2] awarded Guangde Army Manager to join the army. Later, he served as the county magistrate of Xinghua, the school manager of the secret pavilion, the judge of Chenzhou, the prefect of Suzhou, and the prefecture of Quanzhi Kaifeng. He was repeatedly criticized for being fair and straightforward. In the first year of Kangding (1040), he and Han Qi served as deputy envoys of Shaanxi economic and political appeasement, adopting the policy of "Training Fields for a Long Time" to consolidate the northwest frontier defense. In the third year of Qingli (1043), Yuan Hao asked for peace, the western side affairs were calmer, Renzong called Fan Zhongyan back to Beijing, first granted the deputy envoy to the privy, and then worshipped as the political affairs minister, in September, Fan Zhongyan and others launched the "Qingli New Deal". Soon after, the New Deal was frustrated, and Fan Zhongyan invited himself to go out of Beijing, and he had known Pizhou, Dengzhou, Hangzhou, and Qingzhou. In the fourth year of Huangyou (1052), he changed his knowledge to Yingzhou and passed away on the way to help the sick. He was sixty-four. Tired gift to Taishi, Zhongshuling and Shangshuling, Chu Guogong, posthumous title "Wenzheng", known as Fan Wenzheng.
Fan Zhongyan has outstanding political achievements and outstanding literary achievements. He advocated the thought of "worry and worry before the world, and happiness after the world" and the morals of people with lofty ideals, which have a profound impact on future generations [3]. There is "Fan Wenzheng Official Collection" handed down.
After Fan Zhongyan's death, his posthumous posthumous title was upright. This is the highest evaluation of a person in ancient times. It is only when he reaches the three immortal realm of "standing morality and meritorious service" that he deserves such a honor.
An extraordinary young man born to "light"
"The world's worries and worries, and the world's happiness and joy", Fan Zhongyan left in the entry of the famous "Yueyang Tower" entry, which has set an insurmountable spiritual benchmark for Chinese scholars and scholars.
But Fan Zhongyan, who walked out of the "wang bombing" life, caught a card that couldn't be worse when he was just born.
He was still ignorant, his father died, and his mother took him to remarry to a family named Zhu.
Perhaps it was his mother's good life style that affected him. Fan Zhongyan knew how to be thrifty since he was a child. Seeing the extravagance and wasteful habits of Zhu's children, Fan Zhongyan could not help but preach to them.
Who knows, the children of the Zhu family responded impatiently: We spent our own family's money, and you are not from our family!
It doesn't matter if he kindly touched his nose, but the key is that Fan Zhongyan knew that he was not father Zhu's own.
This inevitably has the feeling of being under the fence and leaning on others.
Fan Zhongyan made up his mind to change his destiny. At the time, the most effective way was to read books and refer to the imperial examination.
He said goodbye to his mother and went to Yingtianfu to study.
The life of studying is very difficult. Fan Zhongyan only cooks a bowl of thick porridge every day. After it is cold, he divides it into four pieces. In the morning and evening, he takes two pieces, mixes a few pickles, and continues reading after eating. This is the famous "cutting porridge".
The second-generation official classmates around him really couldn't bear it. They brought him a hearty meal, but he refused with a smile: If I eat this delicacy, how can I stand to eat chaffy vegetables in the future?
Self-discipline and self-control are the instincts of the strong.
When Song Zhenzong's entry came to Yingtian, many students wanted to see the emperor's demeanor. Only Fan Zhongyan was sitting and reading. He said, "Sooner or later, the emperor will take the initiative to summon me. Are you afraid that you won't see me?"
But, in this case, what if it can't be realized?
Fan Zhongyan did not self-hypnotize like today's successology speakers, but rather realistically said: "If you don't be good, you will be a good doctor."
The bumpy background did not make Fan Zhongyan complain about the world and others, but gave birth to a heart of worrying about the people and serving the country.
The heart of the truly strong is always born toward "light". Fan Zhongyan wrote freely and easily when he was struggling to study, "But if you don't lose the grace, why should Jiansong blame the mountain seedlings."
Ning Ming died and lived silently
Fan Zhongyan's efforts paid off. Not only did he pass the Jinshi exam, he also entered the center smoothly.
Because of a coincidence, the emperor at the time remembered him.
Song Renzong's entry came to the throne for a long time, and the entry of Empress Dowager Liu was still "listen to politics". No minister dared to break the silence and persuade the queen dowager to return to the emperor.
But Fan Zhongyan dare!
刘太后盛怒之下，将范仲淹贬去了外地。
别人遇到这种情况，免不了心情抑郁，范仲淹却顺势而为，在外地又是兴修水利、又是劝课农桑，干得风声水起。
三年之后，刘太后去世了，宋仁宗亲政，他想起了那个为他自己说过话的范仲淹，就把范仲淹召了回来。
当时，看到宋仁宗对当初依附刘太后的一些大臣进行清理，一些趋炎附势的投机分子大肆攻击已故的刘太后。
但刚正不阿的范仲淹却又站出来为太后说话。
所幸，仁宗皇帝算是个明白人，范仲淹要求刘太后还政和维护刘太后，看似相互矛盾，其实范仲淹的每次进谏都是着眼于家国天下，无关私利，只为大局。
由此，仁宗皇帝对范仲淹的好感再度增加。
好友梅尧臣词条写了一首《灵乌赋》词条送给范仲淹，劝说老范在朝堂不要太耿直，要学会报喜不报忧，闭上“乌鸦嘴”。
“硬核”老范立即回了一首同名的《灵乌赋》，表达尽管大家不喜欢乌鸦的哑哑之声，但无论如何他都要坚持正义，坚持真理，霸气回言道：“宁鸣而死，不默而生！”
这比美国人帕特里克·亨利词条说出那句经典的“不自由，毋宁死”，早了740年。
真正的政治家
从范仲淹对刘太后的态度来看，他的脑子中没有什么“站队”的概念，只有“站对”的想法。
这就让他在官场上，逆境大于顺境。
他上书弹劾吕夷简，选拔人才不公正，吕夷简将他贬到外地。
多年后，他重回朝堂，宋仁宗让他和吕夷简和解，他说：“臣乡论盖国家事，于夷简无憾也。”
我向来对公不对私，没有错，不道歉。
在陕西做地方官的时候，由于处于与西夏战争的前线，范仲淹作为一个文官，表现出了他的军事才能。
他改革军制，擢拔了狄青词条、种世衡词条这些名将，还步步为营，在边境修筑城防，结好其他羌族词条部落。
西夏人原本集兵范仲淹所在的延州词条城下，看到范仲淹的部署，不再打延州的主意了，说“今小范老子腹中自有数万兵甲。”
宋夏“定川寨”会战，宋军大败，西夏国词条主李元昊词条获胜后，挥师南下，进逼潘原，关中震动。
范仲淹在危急时刻，率领六千军队，驰援前线，宋仁宗听说后，悬着的心才放下：“若仲淹出援，吾无忧矣”，毫无意外，西夏军队随即撤出边塞。
后来，宋仁宗决心改革，第一个人事任命，正是把范仲淹调回中央，授官参知政事（副宰相）。
在皇帝心中，范仲淹是非常合适的改革领袖。
范仲淹一生的理想，担当良相的追求，此刻得以实现。
他抓住机遇，提出了十项改革方针，拿既得利益者开刀，澄清吏治，首当其冲。
范仲淹对贪污腐败、尸位素餐的官员，毫不客气，每次看到针对这些官员的调查报告，大笔一挥，就把这个官员拿下。
富弼说，一笔勾了他容易，可你知道他的全家都在哭吗？范仲淹毫不心软，回答说，一家哭总比一路（路，宋代地方行政单位，相当于现在的省）哭要好。
结果，相当一批大官僚、地方官和皇室权贵暗中开始串通，组织力量策划铲除范仲淹。
“庆历新政”不到一年，就以范仲淹等改革者被逐出京城而宣告夭折。
一代人的理想，自此失落。这是范仲淹一生中最郁闷的时刻。
改革失败后两年，，58岁的范仲淹在贬所邓州（范仲淹没到过岳阳楼，是通过滕子京词条寄来的画写的文章），写下闻名天下的《岳阳楼记》，表达了“不以物喜，不以己悲”、“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”的毕生追求。
在争名逐利的官场，很多人在意的是个人的荣华富贵，只有少数人真正心怀家国和百姓，而后者才是真正的政治家。
结语
同是改革者，王安石、张居正词条等人身后毁誉参半，而范仲淹则是“名节无疵”，堪称完人。
范仲淹曾说，做官“公罪不可无，私罪不可有”。
用现在的话说，政治上必须坚持原则，不怕得罪上级和皇帝，不怕受罪，而个人操守，则务求清白，决不能贪赃枉法，授人把柄。
这境界，世上有几人能及！所以范仲淹才能提笔写出“幽兰在深处，终日自清芬”的高风亮节。
正如电影《无问东西》所说：“这个时代缺的不是完美的人,缺的是从自己心底给出的真心、正义、无畏和同情!”
再来欣赏一下范仲淹的词吧：
《苏幕遮·碧云天》
碧云天，黄叶地，秋色连波，波上寒烟翠。
山映斜阳天接水，芳草无情，更在斜阳外。
黯乡魂，追旅思，夜夜除非，好梦留人睡。
明月楼高休独倚，酒入愁肠，化作相思泪。
《渔家傲·秋思》
塞下秋来风景异，衡阳雁去无留意。
四面边声连角起，千嶂里，长烟落日孤城闭。
浊酒一杯家万里，燕然未勒归无计。
羌管悠悠霜满地，人不寐，将军白发征夫泪。
《御街行·秋日怀旧》
纷纷坠叶飘香砌。夜寂静，寒声碎。
真珠帘卷玉楼空，天淡银河垂地。
年年今夜，月华如练，长是人千里。
愁肠已断无由醉，酒未到，先成泪。
残灯明灭枕头欹，谙尽孤眠滋味。
都来此事，眉间心上，无计相回避。
《江上渔者》
江上往来人，但爱鲈鱼美。
君看一叶舟，出没风波里。
