[1] Du Bo's great-grandson, Shi Hui (士会, posthumously called Fàn Wuzi (范武子)), distinguishes himself by defeating the neighboring tribes as Commander in Chief of the Jin army and is ennobled as Duke of Sui and Duke of Fàn.
[5] Fàn Quan institutes the civil system for Jin, making it the earliest kingdom during the Spring and Autumn period to do so.
Around 473 BCE, the line of Fàn Li moves to the new capital of Yue in Wu (in what is now Suzhou province).
Shortly after, Fàn Li resigned from the chancellorship of Yue and married Xi Shi, one of the renowned Four Beauties of ancient China.
From this position, he halted the rise of the warlords who had accumulated large fortunes, assembled armies, and crowned themselves monarchs during the Warring States period.
[7] Modern-day Fàn County (范县) is located in the Puyang prefecture of north east Henan province.
[citation needed] Members of the Fàn family continue to thrive across a variety of different domains.
