According to historical records, Yan Ziling was named Guangming, whose name was Ziling. He was born in Yuyao, Kuaiji, Zhejiang Province, in the Eastern Han Dynasty. When he was young, he read a lot and had outstanding talent. He once traveled to school with Liu Xiu, and they were very good friends. Later, Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty through military campaigns, while Yan Ziling still maintained the style of celebrities. He traveled around the world and indulged in the landscape. He learned that Liu Xiu became emperor, changed his name and disappeared. at the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China, a hundred wastes were waiting for prosperity, especially the lack of talents. Liu Xiu thought of his classmate friend Yan Ziling's great talent and morality, and ordered the local government to send people to visit him, hoping to find him as soon as possible for his own use. Later, Shandong officials reported that they found a man who looked very much like Yan Ziling, often dressed in sheepskin, fishing in a swamp. Liu Xiu suspected that this man was Yan Ziling, and immediately sent an envoy to invite him. When the messenger arrived in Shandong, he patiently inquired and found that this man was really Yan Ziling, but he said he didn't want to see Liu Xiu. At last, the envoys went back and forth several times and said good things. Yan Ziling followed him to Luoyang. Emperor Guangwu attached great importance to his old friend and sent officials in charge of imperial food to serve him with food all day long. At that time, Hou Ba and Yan Ziling, who were ministers of the imperial court, had always been friends. I heard that Yan Ziling was in Kyoto and wanted to see him very much.

He lost a piece of bamboo slips and asked the visitor to record what he wanted to say to Hou Ba, so that he could go back to recover his life as soon as possible. His words were as cold as ice. He taught Hou Ba that he should be benevolent and help with justice. If he flatters and follows his will, he will inevitably be separated. Hou BA was very angry and presented the letter to Liu Xiu. When Liu Xiu read it, she burst out laughing: "this crazy slave is the same as before." On that day, Liu Xiu went to see his old friend in person and persuaded him to come out to help govern the world, but Yan Ziling ignored him at all. Liu Xiu wanted to influence him with friendship, but Yan Ziling was not moved. In the end, Liu Xiu firmly granted Yan Ziling the post of admonishment doctor, but Yan Ziling still did not accept it. Instead, he returned to his hometown and farmed and fished at the foot of Fuchun mountain. At the age of 80, Yan Ziling died at home.
