Chen Guangdi was Chen Fang's clan brother and also came from the Chen clan. Although he did not become an official, his knowledge and reputation were not inferior to Chen Fang's. This was because he had once been the head of the Pine Mountain Academy in Jiangnan. Although he was idle at home now, he was currently guiding a few disciples in their studies.
In the current Imperial Academy, the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites and several attendants in the Imperial Court had all been under his tutelage. In recent years, most of the village examinations in Jiangnan had been set by his students. Although the main examiner for this year's examination had yet to be decided, that person was definitely somewhat related to him.
By studying with Chen Guangdi, students could at least grasp a general direction when it came to revision. This was a huge opportunity for the candidates.
