In the early spring of the fourth year of the Taiping reign of the Song Dynasty (979), 7-year-old Huang zongdan and his neighbor's children were playing at Baoguang pool in front of the village. His grandfather Huang Yuxi ordered him to write a poem with the title of "early spring". He thought a little, that is, he recited: "a look Qingchuan clear water open, Baoguang pool warm for the first time back. I like to have a Longmen guest in my life. I'll jump out of the flood and wait for thunder. " The export is extraordinary, Yuxi is extraordinary, and the smell is different. Therefore, "children are called prodigies". Zongdan worked hard and went to the capital. He was highly valued by such celebrities as Wenzhi, Kou Zhun, Wang Yuyi, Qian Ruoshui and so on. He was originally a Jinshi candidate in Chunhua period (990-994). He got the second place because some candidates in the same field copied his articles. Those who copied his articles were removed, and zongdan was not selected. At the end of Chunhua (993-994), he met Kou Zhun, the Duke of Laiguo, with articles, which was highly valued by Kou Zhun.

When he became the magistrate of Suzhou, he was polite to a gentleman and had the courage to correct his mistakes. At that time, there was a young official, Wang Zhi, who served as a judge. Every time he decided a case, he often disputed with zongdan. Zongdan initially regarded him as young and frivolous, and wanted to transfer him away. Once, zongdan tried more than 100 people who had stolen copper coins. He was about to be convicted and boasted about himself in front of Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi said to him, "how do you know they stole copper coins?" Zong Dan said: "I use the art of all by to tempt them to confess their sins." Wang Zhi retorted: "I'm glad to use the art of power to tempt them to confess their sins and put them to death. Is this how benevolent people deal with political affairs? " After hearing this, zongdan praised Wang Zhi and said, "you are the real gentleman!" After that, he became more humble. Especially good at judging, he recommended promotion of people, are well-known people. He was in charge of the history museum. He worked hard and suffered from eye disease in his later years. He recited all the memorials before going to court. Someone in the same class fooled him and secretly replaced it with other memorials. He still recited his own memorials, only to find out when he got home. So he urged him to return home. The court did not allow him to serve as the magistrate of Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang City, Hubei Province) with the title of doctor of the Ministry of punishment. He died in November of 1030, the eighth year of emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty.

On the day of leaving office, the gentry and the common people of Jin went to see off for several miles and wrote a inscription: "emperor song Yuji is the first to be polite. Xingxiu is pregnant with essence. Fortunately, she has been born a great sage. Weixian talent, Huiyi childhood, Kui in the world, whose front. The hope of scholars is that China is in the earth and the fight is in the sky, and the faith of the country is that it is as if the people are in the middle and the people are in the middle. For example, the bright pearl is hidden in the abyss; for example, the Phoenix is born safely; for example, the name of Legong is in Shixi, on the top of the north mountain; for example, the immortal virtue of Legong is so strong. "
