陈耽 / Chen Dan (late Han)
Hanji 904 adds an earlier 174 CE taiwei appointment marker before the 176 and 178 office-turnover notices. The transcript renders the name as 陈丹 in this sequence; this page keeps it on the existing Chen Dan / 陈耽 route because later ingests already normalize the same late-Han senior official through office-churn notices.
Hanji 906 adds a source-scoped 176 CE office marker before the later Guanghe churn. The transcript renders the name as 陈丹 and says the taiwei is removed while sikong Xu Xun becomes taiwei; this page keeps it on the existing 陈耽 / Chen Dan route because later ingests already normalize the same late-Han official through office-turnover notices.
Hanji 911 backfills Chen Dan before his 181 situ appointment. In the Guanghe first-year sequence under 汉灵帝, he is removed as sikong after earthquake and animal-omen notices and replaced by 来艳, making him part of the 178 senior-office churn that leads into Hanji 912.
Hanji 920 later places Chen Dan in the late-Han court as the official appointed situ in October 181 after 杨赐 is dismissed. The appointment appears in a sequence of hail, eclipse, palace fire, and senior office turnover under 汉灵帝.
The 181 office marker gives the later Hanji 922 correction scene a clearer setup: Chen Dan is not introduced only at the moment of protest, but as a senior court officeholder in the churn immediately before the 182 anti-corruption review failure.
Hanji 922 presents Chen Dan as the situ who challenges the false 182 CE corruption review prepared by 许訏 and 张济. After wrongly accused officials, subordinates, and local people appeal at 洛阳, Chen Dan tells 汉灵帝 that the review has released harmful officials and imprisoned worthy ones.
His intervention repairs part of the administrative damage because the wronged officials are promoted after the emperor investigates. The episode also preserves the limit of this repair: the filtering officials are only scolded, so Chen Dan’s memorial is a bright moment inside continuing 君臣反馈失灵.
