希範好學，善詩，文士廖光圖、徐仲雅、李臯、拓拔常等十八人皆故殷時學士，希範性奢侈，光圖等皆薄徒，飲博歡呼，獨常沈厚長者，上書切諫，光圖等惡之。 Xifan loved learning and wrote poetry well. Eighteen scholars including Liao Guangtu, Xu Zhongya, Li Gao, and Tuoba Chang had served as academicians under Yin. Xifan was extravagant; most of them were idle roisterers who drank and gambled. Only Tuoba Chang, a sober elder, sent a blunt memorial of remonstrance, which the others resented.
