Fan Ye (398[1] – 23 January 446[2]), courtesy name Weizong (蔚宗), was a Chinese historian, philosopher, and politician of the Liu Song dynasty during the Southern and Northern dynasties period. He was the compiler of the historical text Book of the Later Han. The fourth[3] son of Fan Tai (范泰), Fan Ye was born in present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang, but his ancestral home was in Nanyang, Henan. After his birth, he was made heir of another male relative Fan Hongzhi (范弘之).[4]
He was a noted atheist who heavily criticised Buddhism, Yin and Yang, and the concept of the Mandate of Heaven. To this end, he cited Zhang Heng's scientific studies as evidence.
In January 446, Fan Ye was accused of rebellion and executed, along with many associates including his son Fan Ai (范藹).
- ^ According to Fan Ye's biography in Book of Song, he was 48 (by East Asian age reckoning) when he died. Thus by calculation, his birth year should be 398. Songshu 493, vol. 69, Biography of Fan Ye: "...諸所連及，並伏誅。曄時年四十八。"
- ^ According to the annals of Liu Yilong's reign in Book of Song, Fan Ye and his accomplices were executed on the yiwei day of the 12th month of the 22nd year of the Yuanjia regnal period.
