Where the histories differ
The locations where Fan Zhongyan was demoted to prefect differ
- histories differIn the History of Song, the annals and the biographies disagree about which prefecture Fan Zhongyan was demoted to for speaking on matters.
In the History of Song, Annals of Renzong II, it is recorded: 'On the day bingxu, Tianzhangge Daizhi Fan Zhongyan was accused of satirizing ministers, stripped of office, and demoted to Raozhou.' But in the History of Song, Biographies of Ren Zhongzheng, Zhong Shi, Zhou Qi, Cheng Lin, Jiang Zun, Fan Yong, Zi Qitan, Zhao Zhen, Ren Bu, Gao Ruonao, Sun Mian, it is recorded: 'At that time, Fan Zhongyan was stripped of office for speaking on matters and demoted to Muzhou; Yu Jing and Yin Zhu discussed rescuing Zhongyan and were successively demoted and expelled.' One says demoted to Raozhou, the other says demoted to Muzhou; the two records differ.
