Fan Zhongyan, a famous official of a generation, was born in Suzhou and died in Xuzhou. Why was he buried in Luoyang?

"Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." We can say that we are most familiar with Fan Zhongyan. "The Story of Yueyang Tower" is an eternal masterpiece, and it can definitely be compared with Wang Bo. , and this Fan Zhongyan is not only a writer, but also a famous minister. Living in the Song Dynasty, when he died, he was not buried in his hometown or in the capital, but ran to Luoyang. The reason was because his mother was buried in Luoyang before.

This Fan Zhongyan was not named Fan before, nor was he named Zhongyan, because his father passed away not long after Fan Zhongyan was born, and his mother took him to remarry someone else, so he changed his name. After that, Fan Zhongyan became famous, so he returned to his hometown to recognize his ancestors and rejoin the Fan family. However, because his mother remarried, she could not be buried with his father after her death, so Fan Zhongyan buried his mother in Luoyang. The main reason was the beautiful scenery.

So after his death, he was ordered to be buried in Luoyang so that he could serve his mother. Of course, another important reason is that he likes Luoyang very much. He believes that Luoyang has a dangerous terrain, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is a rare geomantic treasure.
