Why does If This Is the History of Song Dynasty say that Fan Zhongyan was the first person in 300 years? Why not Wang Dan?

Wang Anshi called Fan Zhongyan "the teacher of my life" in "A Tribute to Fan Yingzhou". Lv Zhong said: "The first Confucianism talked about the characters of the Song Dynasty, with Fan Zhongyan as the first." He was not only a famous politician and commander in chief in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also an outstanding writer and educator. The Li Qing Reform led by him became the prelude of Wang Anshi's Xifeng Reform. He improved some military systems and strategic measures to make the western border defense stable for a long time; A large number of scholars he recommended laid the foundation for the academic prosperity of the Song Dynasty. His thought of worrying about the world first and the moral integrity of people with lofty ideals are brilliant spiritual wealth in the history of Chinese civilization; Zhu called him "the first-rate figure in the history of heaven and earth"! Wang Dan has never been so evaluated. Thank you for adopting it.
