545 Fan Tsu-yü 范祖禹 (T. 淳甫 and 夢得. H. 華陽). A.D. 1041-1098. Graduating as chin shih, he assisted Ssŭ-ma Kuang in the compilation of his history; and when this was finished he received an appointment in the Imperial Library, and ultimately rose to be a Supervising Censor. He firmly opposed the employment of such a man as Chang Tun; and when his counsels were unheeded, he applied for a provincial post and died in exile.
