出陈州城往东南方向二十余里处,有个紫荆台村,离村南一箭之遥,有一座庙宇,名为范丹寺。据传,当初孔子困陈时就是在此处向范丹借粮,后人便建了范丹寺。至于何时建寺,已无可考究。其实,范丹是东汉人,与孔子相距六百载有余,可见借粮一说纯属乌有了。 Chen out of the city to the southeast direction more than twenty years, there is a Bauhinia Village, a stone's throw away from the village south, there is a temple, named Fan Dan Temple. According to legend, when Confucius was trapped Chen was here to Fan Dan borrowed grain, descendants built Fan Dan Temple. As for when to build a temple, no exquisite. In fact, Fan Dan is an Eastern Han Chinese who is more than six hundred years away from Confucius.
