Origin Story

东汉时期,有一个名叫樊英的人,他精通《五经》和各种术数,隐居在壶山南面。许多人都慕名前来拜他为师,但他对官府的征召置之不理。后来,汉顺帝听说他的名声,便派人用隆重的礼节征召他。樊英不得已才来到洛阳,顺帝为他设下盛大的宴会,对他礼遇有加,简直是奉若神明。顺帝还任命他为光禄大夫。然而,令人遗憾的是,樊英为官之后并没有什么显著的政绩。

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Fan Ying who was proficient in the Five Classics and various arts. He lived in seclusion south of Hu Mountain. Many people came to him seeking to be his disciples, but he ignored the summons of the imperial court. Later, Emperor Shun of Han heard of his reputation and sent envoys to summon him with great respect. Fan Ying reluctantly went to Luoyang, where Emperor Shun held a grand banquet for him and treated him with great honor, almost like a god. Emperor Shun then appointed him to the post of Guanglu Daifu. However, it is regrettable that Fan Ying did not achieve any significant accomplishments during his term in office.
