Is Yan Shifan blind in history?

How Yan Shifan's eyes became blind is not recorded in detail in the history books.

In the tenth year of Emperor Shizong's Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (153 1), Yan Shifan went to imperial academy to study under the protection of his father, giving Zuo Jun the experience of being a governor and later a commander. Later, it was the capital of Shuntianfu, and in 22 years (1545), it was promoted to Shaoqing, the Shangbao Company.

According to the biography of treacherous court official in Yan Shifan in Ming Dynasty, Yan Shifan was "short and fat" and "stunned", which meant that he was blind in one eye. But as for how blind the eyes are, whether they are born or acquired, there is no explanation in the history books.

Causes of blindness in Yan Shifan under Jin Yi.

In the 27th episode of Under the Golden Clothes, we can learn from Yan Shifan's memory that Lin Ling once broke into Yan Shifan's bedroom and tried to murder him to avenge his family. In the fight, Lin Ling stabbed Yan Shifan in the eye with a hair clasp.

Yan Shifan killed Lin Ling's family, so Lin Ling wanted to kill Yan Shifan to avenge her family. Unexpectedly, her beauty was attracted by Yan Shifan, so she was tied to the bed and wanted to commit indecency. Later, Lin Ling pretended to follow him and tried to assassinate him with his spare hair clasp, but the assassination failed and they had a fight. In the process, Lin Ling mercilessly inserted the hairpin into Yan Shifan's eye, causing Yan Shifan's eye to bleed and get injured.
