真德秀及右史魏了翁薦之，差權通判隆興府，江西帥魏大有辟充參議官，皆辭，乃以直秘閣主管慶元至道宮。 Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng recommended him; acting vice-prefect of Longxing and consulting officer under Wei Dayou he declined; he was made direct gentleman of the Secretariat in charge of Zhidao Palace.

燔自惟居閒無以報國，乃薦崔與之、魏了翁、真德秀、陳宓、鄭寅、楊長孺、丁黼、棄宰、龔維藩、徐僑、劉宰、洪咨夔於朝。 Thinking he could not repay the state in retirement, Fan recommended Cui Yuzhi, Wei Liaoweng, Zhen Dexiu, Chen Mi, Zheng Yin, Yang Changru, Ding Fu, Qi Zai, Gong Weifan, Xu Qiao, Liu Zai, and Hong Zikui.

所交皆名士，如呂祖儉、黃榦、趙崇憲、蔡淵、吳必大、輔廣、李道傳、李燔、葉味道、李閎祖、李方子、柴中行、真德秀、魏了翁、李埴、趙汝讜、陳貴誼、杜孝嚴、度正、張嗣古，皆敬慕之。 His friends were famous men—Lü Zujian, Huang Gan, Zhao Chongxian, Cai Yuan, Wu Bida, Fu Guang, Li Daochuan, Li Fan, Ye Weidao, Li Hongzu, Li Fangzi, Chai Zhongxing, Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng, Li Zhi, Zhao Rujing, Chen Guiyi, Du Xiaoyan, Du Zheng, Zhang Sigu—all revered him.
