Fan Xian's (范闲) courtesy name is Anzhi (安之)
It is part of a Chinese proverb:
既来之，则安之
(jì lái zhī，zé ān zhī)
"Now that they have come/arrived, they will settle here peacefully."
OR
"Since we are here now, we should make the best out of it and settle peacefully."
--- from 《论语·季氏》 // Analects of Confucius, Ji Sh. Specifically from the following passage:
“夫如是，故远人不服，则修文德以来之。既来之，则安之。”
NOW, someone out there who is WAY BETTER educated than me can probably provide a better explanation for this. So my interpretation is:
"If people from afar are not convinced by you (your rule, your fighting prowess etc), then you should create a culture of virtue to convince them of your rule/convictions/etc. Once they come, we must make them feel at ease so they can settle here peacefully."
There's a LOT of strategy/history etc behind this passage that I'm not even going to try to decipher.
I just REALLY love how Fan Xian's courtesy name is soooo full of meaning and history. But also can be interpreted as a direct link to his life - he is in this life and world now, it is best for him to settle in here with ease & find peace.
As a side note - Fan Xian's name, Xian (闲) mean 'idle' (free time to be unoccupied & idle, to have spare time). Basically the author is a genius of names and puns. LOLs.

I think it's incredibly rigged that ZRY is both the best under 40 cdrama actor (in my obviously subjective opinion) and genuinely good-looking. Like HOW?

YOU HAVE HEARD OF JIN LING’s UNCLES
Get ready for Fan Xian’s dads… where Fan Xian’s dad plots against Fan Xian’s dad while Fan Xian’s dad has opposing ideas of Fan Xian’s dad and Fan Xian’s future while Fan Xian’s dad tries his best to be dad but Fan Xian’s dad thinks that Fan Xian’s dad doesn’t deserve to be his dad so Fan Xian’s dad-
yes this is my attempt to get more people to watch Joy of Life as if it wasn’t popular enough
seriously it’s not BL, but I promise you you’ll be invested anyways 🫠

Fan Xian crying as he's passing out. !!!!!!
I love love LOVE Ruo Ruo and Fan Xian's sibling bond. And I love that, like everyone else, she's just found out he's not her biological brother and it makes not one tiny bit of difference in their relationship and devotion. AAAAAA. (And bless them so much for never ever having even the tiniest hint that for either it is anything other than pure sibling bond.)

I need a Joy of Life spinoff focused entirely on the imperial family interactions—Fan Xian, the princes and the Emperor, and all of their shenanigans. No high stakes stuff, just small-time squabbling and vicious scheming over tiny stakes. Imperial Father, I denounce Fan Xian for stealing my grapes. Imperial Father, the Second Prince is wise but has no proof. Imperial Father, why is Fan Xian here at this family brunch, again.
Fan Xian does constantly try to escape this family circle, but the Emperor won’t let him. So he’s stuck accompanying the Emperor and the princes on all kinds of family outings. Brunches. Hunts. Visits to important temples. The brothers keep squabbling. The First Prince wishes he could stab half of them. The Crown Prince is trying to hold on to the crown. The Second Prince is plotting against everybody in turn. Fan Xian is defending himself and attacking whoever he feels deserves it at the moment. The Third Prince has no clue what’s going on. Allegiances shift constantly. The Emperor is having a great time
