"Fan Wenzheng's Official Essay Collection" is a collection of poems and essays by Fan Zhongyan (989~1052) printed in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is the earliest extant version of the Fan Collection. In addition to the Fan Collection, there are also Southern Song Dynasty Qiandao carved and revised editions, Yuan Tianli, and Zhizheng Fan's family school Sui Hantang inscriptions, etc., all of which are 20 volumes.
Fan Zhongyan, the word Xiwen, a native of Wu County (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), was born in the second year of Duangong (989), lost his father at the age of two, and his mother remarried the surname of Changshan Zhu, so the name Zhu said. In the eighth year of Song Zhenzong's Dazhong Xiangfu (1015), he was promoted to the rank of Shidi, and later changed his surname. Knowing the border counties, Renzong Chaoshi to the privy deputy envoy, the governor of the political affairs, presided over the famous "Qingli New Deal", put forward ten political reform plans, but was not allowed by the old faction, so he let the prefecture, Dengzhou, Hangzhou, Qingzhou and other places to know the state. Its "worries and worries of the world first, and joy and joy of the world after the world" have been spread through the ages. Huang You died in the fourth year (1053), at the age of sixty-four, and was called "Wenzheng", known as "Fan Wenzheng". In his short life, he unswervingly pursued his life ideals and political opinions, and was highly praised by his current and future generations. The essays and poems are extraordinary, and they are the image externalization of his mind and emotions. Renzong personally wrote his tombstone and said "the monument of praise". Not only were the famous politicians, military strategists and literary achievements of the Northern Song Dynasty impressive. For details, see the 314th biography of the "History of the Song Dynasty".
Fan Zhongyan has four sons, all well-known, Chunyou, Chunren, Chunli, pure, especially the second son Chunren has the style of his father, Zhezong Yuanyou when the official worships Shangshu right servant and Zhongshu Shilang, and later "Zhongxuan". After Fan Zhongyan's death, his posthumous manuscripts were sorted out by his sons. In the fifth year of Emperor Renzong's reign (1054), only one year after Fan Zhongyan's death, Fan Chunren compiled the seventeen volumes of the "Sonata" and the two volumes of "The Government on Affairs", see Han Qi's "Anyang Collection" volume 22 "Wenzheng Fan Gong's Preface". The rest of Fan Zhongyan's manuscripts were compiled into 20 volumes by his sons, and Su Shi wrote a preface in the fourth year of Zhezong Yuanyou (1089), saying that this collection was "268 poems and 165 texts".
This twenty-volume posthumous manuscript was called "Danyang Collection" at the time, and Song Zhao Xiben's "Junzhai Reading Chronicles Appendix" volume download "There are twenty volumes of "Danyang Collection", Mr. Dongpo prefaces". This is the book now. However, Song Chao Gongwu's "Junzhai Reading Chronicles" Yuan Benjuan has four volumes of "Fan Wenzheng Danyang Edition" eight volumes", and "Su Zizhan Narrative is a collection", and "Danyang Edition" covers the "Danyang Collection", but the difference in the number of volumes is large. "Song History, Art and Literature" includes 20 volumes of "Fan Zhongyan Collection" and 8 volumes of "Danyang Edition".
Fu Zengxiang's "Tibetan Garden Group Books Eye Record" volume 13 said that this book "Song Xuanxia, trees, and police, all of which are not written in words, and Huan characters are not avoided, and they are engraved before Qinzong." In the sentence "Hangu Spring Chongxu" in the fifth volume of "Yiyun Feng Feng Yan Shangshu See Mail", the word "Xu" lacks the last two strokes, avoiding the Song Zhezong's obscurity, and "Ji", "Qian", "Structure", and "Prudence" are not lacking pens, so there is no doubt that it is the Northern Song Dynasty. This Northern Song Dynasty inscription "Fan Wenzheng Gongwen Collection" 20 volumes, the title at the end of the volume is "Fan Wenzheng Gongwen Collection", not "Danyang Collection", and the book mouth is only titled "Collection Volume 1", and the frontispiece of Su Shi's "Narrative" and the entire volume of Volume 1 are copied. Volumes 2 to 20 are the original Song carvings, with occasional transcriptions. Each volume begins with a breakdown of the volume, followed by the main text.
There are three lines of inscription in front of this volume, and the cloud comes from "Fan's main Fengjia", "the original Song seal", and "the first book is lost". The inscription was written in "Ding Youxia", which was the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, but I don't know whose hand it was. This "Fan Zhufeng" should be Fan Zhongyan's 19th grandson Fan Nengjun, Qing Kangxi 46 years (1707) for the Wenzheng Academy, once with Fan Zhongyan 21st Sun Fan Shichong together to engrave the year of Hantang "Fan Wenzheng Gongzhong Xuangong Complete Works". After the Republic of China, this book was dispersed from the Liao family in Jiading, and was obtained by the famous bibliophile Fu Zengxiang. The original preface and volume 1 were missing, and Fu Shi asked you to copy and supplement the words according to the number of words in this book. In 1984, Zhonghua Book Company photocopied and compiled into the "Three Editions of the Gu Yi Series". It is now in the collection of the National Library of China.
