陈蕃 / Chen Fan (late Han)
陈蕃 / Chen Fan (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 948 as one of the earlier anti-eunuch and Party Prohibition victims whose case 董卓 asks the court to rehabilitate. The episode does not give a full biography; it uses Chen Fan as a prestige-bearing name in Dong Zhuo’s bid to make his violent takeover look like a correction of past injustice.
His role therefore grounds 党人翻案合法性. Restoring honors and appointing descendants can answer a real old grievance, but in this source it also works as political cover for Dong Zhuo after the forced deposition and He-family purge.
