Fàn Chéngmó 范承謨 (1635–1676), zì Jìngōng 覲公, hào Luóshān 螺山, posthumously Zhōngzhēn 忠貞 (“Loyal-Faithful”). Eldest son of the great Manchu-collaborator grand secretary 范文程 Fàn Wénchéng (1597–1666), banner-status xiānghuángqí Hànjūn (Bordered Yellow Banner of the Hànjūn). CBDB id 57356 confirms lifedates as 1635–1676 (the catalog meta gives 1624–1676, which is in error and should be read as 1635–1676 — the catalog dating is inconsistent with both CBDB and the Sìkù tíyào, which records Fàn passing the 1652 jìnshì and is therefore impossible if born 1624).
Career: served first as shìwèi (imperial bodyguard); in Shùnzhì 8 (1651, xīnmǎo), under the edict permitting bannerman sons to sit the examinations, took the jǔrén in that year and the following year rénchén (1652) the jìnshì, becoming a shùjíshì in the Hànlín, then Hóngwén yuàn biānxiū; rose to Governor of Zhèjiāng, then Governor-General of Fújiàn. In Kāngxī 12 (1673, guǐchǒu) — when the rebel feudatory 耿精忠 Gěng Jīngzhōng (one of the Sān fān 三藩 / Three Feudatories) broke against the throne in Fúzhōu, with the Provincial Governor Liú Bǐngzhèng 劉秉政 capitulating to the rebels — Fàn refused to submit, was imprisoned, and died holding the jié in 1676. The Kāngxī emperor personally directed the posthumous bestowal of the title Zhōngzhēn and the imperial cí with imperially-composed stele inscription. The Huà bì shī 畫壁詩 — verses Fàn wrote on the walls of his cell during his three-year imprisonment — were rescued by Wú Zhènfāng 吳震方 of Shímén and published in the Shuō líng 說鈴, becoming an early-Qīng monument to martyred loyalty.
