Brief introduction of the author

The ten and eighty volumes of Biography of the Later Han Dynasty were written by Ye Fan and Li Xian, Prince of Zhang Huai. This book is a concise and vivid narrative, which synthesizes seven historical materials of the later Han Dynasty circulated at that time, and refers to Justin's later Han Dynasty, thus replacing the previous later Han Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, some people compiled the Thirty Volumes of The Continuation of Han History in Jin Dynasty, Sima Biao, and Liu Zhao's comments into the Book of Later Han History. First, he added Empress Ji after Emperor Ji. From the Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were six queens. It is reasonable to write down their activities in the form of discipline, and it can also accurately reflect the political characteristics of this period. Secondly, Seven biographies have been added to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Party Insanity, Biography of Officials, Biography of Wen Yuan, Biography of Dugu, Biography of Magic, Biography of Yimin and Biography of Lienv. Ye Fan was the first historian to write biographies for women in biographical history books. What is particularly commendable is that the seventeen outstanding women collected in Biography of Lienv are not all chaste daughters, but also some talented women Cai Yan who do not meet the ethical and moral standards.
