First, aristocratic families are rich in gold and rural health.
According to Guangxu's Genealogy of Pan Shi, before the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Pan Shi family lived in the West Gate of Pingyang. Later, due to the invasion of Pingyang by Yuan soldiers, the ancestor's family fled to Ningbo (Yinxian) by sea, settled in Chengqian Street of Yinxian, and then returned to Pingyang from Ningbo. Lin Gonggong has three sons: Haicheng, Christina and Han Hai ("Hai 'an" in the Book of Music), and Han Hai (Hai 'an) works in Guanhaiwei (Kangxi belonged to Dinghai County 20 years ago, and later changed to Zhenhai County, which is still in use today, not today's Zhoushan Dinghai). At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Xin Gong and Feng Gong sent troops to build Wei in Jinxiang, and Hai Gong led his troops to Jinxiang in Pingyang, so he moved to Panshi in Jinxiang. The eldest brother is Gong Haicheng and lives in Panjiazhuang, Banpu and Hezhi villages south of the Yangtze River.
Hai' an, who settled in Jinxiang Wei, was awarded thousands of commanding public offices. Because of the meritorious military service, he was promoted to guerrilla warfare. In Jinxiang, he was awarded General Anyuan and did not lift the guard against Ximen. From then on, the Pan Shi family flourished in Jinxiang and became a noble family in Jinxiang.
In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Jinxiang City experienced the disaster of Chencang Uprising and Shunzhi moving to the border, and the aristocratic families in the city fled their hometown one after another, which was almost an empty city. The Pan Shi family lost their genealogy in the border-moving rebellion, so in the next generation, the deeds of the Pan Shi family cannot be known. With the restoration of the Kangxi exhibition circle, the original Jinxiang families moved back one after another. Pan clan returned to Simon's hometown and rebuilt their homeland. Since then, cultural relics have always been new.
Pan Jia San Fang in Jinxiang is the most prosperous. In the ninth century, it was time to teach the public, and the name was Zhaolong, and the name moved to the west. I am honest and diligent. I dropped out of school because of family matters and donated my official position. The Anglican church gave birth to three sons, the eldest son flew, the second son dispersed, and the third son honored. All three sons are literature majors, and they were admitted to Gongsheng respectively. The British Catholic Church is well-run, well-managed and prosperous, and is a well-known rich household in Jinxiang City. Since the house was publicly built in Cape Horn, it has been built repeatedly for generations. Pan Zhai has become one of the few famous houses in Jinxiang City because of its exquisite architecture and large scale.
How did Pan's ancestors get rich? There is no specific record in the genealogy, and future generations do not know the details. According to Jin Xiang's Yin Family Tree, Yin, a native of Ningbo who is good at making candles, took a fancy to the demand for candles by fishermen in Pingyang coastal area and moved to Jinxiang City, where he founded Yin Datong, specializing in candles, and his business was booming. Later, Yin opened the semicolon "Yin Datong" to Fujian Pan. Who knows, the clerk in the shop accidentally knocked over the candle, and as a result, almost all Yin's property was destroyed by a fire. Yin was not discouraged. He returned to Jinxiang for a comeback. He learned that Pan's hoarded oil (the raw material for making candles) had gone bad and was anxious to sell it. He took the initiative to buy it at a very low price. It was this batch of oil from Pan's family that made "Yin Datong" survive and regain its glory. But according to the Pan Shi family, Pan Shi is related to the Yin family. In order to help the Yin family in trouble, he gave half of the oil to Yin. We don't know the specific truth of the oil transaction between Pan and Yin, but the author found in the genealogy of Yin and Pan that they have been married for almost generations, and the Pan family probably made a fortune by operating oil business.
There is also a legend in Jinxiang that Yin Jia and Pan Jia once staged a "battle of wits and courage" to climb the rich. After Yin's daughter married Pan Jia, Yin sent someone to secretly measure the width of Pan Jia's platform door in advance, deliberately making the bride's sedan chair wider than the platform door. On the same day, the farewell party was anxious because the sedan chair at the entrance of Panjiatai was difficult to walk. Master Pan knew that this was a deliberate problem caused by his in-laws, so he quietly told his family to carry out baskets of silver coins and pile them under the wall until they were flush with the wall, so that the bearers could cross the wall from the shady mountain. Of course, this legend is not necessarily true, but Pan Jiafu fish has been talked about by Jinxiang people so far.
Second, Pan Ronggui risked his life to sue Huangmei.
Among Pan Yingjiao's three sons, Pan Ronggui is the best. Pan Ronggui (1728- 18 10), whose real name is Rupan, whose real name is Pillow Rock and whose real name is Zong Yi, was born in Rong nationality. Gifted since childhood, he entered the county school at the age of 1753, and Bingzi (1756) donated tribute. Baotai called it "the lack and elegance of the typical British style in rural cities" in the preface to Mr. Pan's 80 th birthday (generation)
Married Yuan, who loved him deeply. Unfortunately, Yuan's fate did not last forever, leaving three young sons to support. Pan Ronggui loved his beloved wife deeply and never married, so he was deeply respected by the villagers.
Pan Ronggui acted in Ren Xia, being generous and frugal, and bravely taking responsibility. At that time, Pingyang County ordered Huangmei to be greedy and collect wealth, which made Pingyang gentry vulnerable to exploitation. Among them, Wu Ronglie, Pan Ronggui, Dong Zhengxian and other squires used Zhejiang scholar Dou Guangnai to visit Pingyang, and jointly accused Huangmei of making up the losses and pocketing his own money. Dou Guangnai, known as the "Iron Empire", was furious. He accepted the squire's complaint and wrote to the court to impeach Huangmei. Who knows that Huangmei is backed by A Gui and other powerful people in the DPRK? They retorted that Dou Guangnai encouraged Pingyang people to falsely accuse Huangmei. Emperor Qianlong couldn't tell the truth from the false, so he removed Dou Guangnai's official position and ordered the case to be sent to Hangzhou for joint trial. In order to obtain evidence, Dou Guangnai went to Pingyang again and invited squires such as Wu Ronglie, Pan Ronggui and Dong Zhengxian to accompany him to Hangzhou to testify. In fact, as we all know, the officials of the joint trial were bribed by the powerful minister Agui. In this lawsuit between justice and evil, everyone's life and death are unpredictable. Before the joint trial, Dou Guangnai said bitterly: "I am willing to give my life for this matter, and you are also implicated. Do you have any regrets? " Wu Ronglie, Pan Ronggui, Dong Zhengxian and other squires are determined to fight to the death, and they advance and retreat together with Dou Guangnai. Everyone wrote a suicide note. In the court confrontation, the officials of the joint trial really made things difficult. Pan Ronggui couldn't bear it. He shouted in court: "Everyone has died since ancient times, and people can't stand without faith!" Interrogators look after each other.
Finally, Dou Guangnai sent the physical evidence provided by Wu Ronglie, Pan Ronggui and other squires directly to Qianlong through the DPRK minister. Hard evidence is like a mountain. Emperor Qianlong immediately ordered a thorough investigation after learning the truth, and the Huangmei case turned around. Finally, officials such as Huang Mei were punished as they deserved. The ending of Huangmei case made Wu Ronglie, Pan Ronggui and other Jiangnan squires proud, but this case also exhausted everyone's energy. After this case, these squires in the south of the Yangtze River had no intention of taking the provincial examination, living in seclusion at home, wandering around and giving lessons to their descendants.
The author consulted the genealogy of Pan Shi in Jinxiang, Wu in Xiakou (now Qianzhen) and Dong Shi in Dongzhuang (now long gang zhen), and found an interesting phenomenon: these three families are intermarried. For example, his son Pan was originally the eldest daughter of Dong Dayan, a martial artist in Dongzhuang. According to Pingyang County Records of the Republic of China, Dong Dayan, whose real name is Han Shi and whose name is Jingzhai, lived in Dongzhuang and worked as a military attache for eighteen years. Pan originally married Dong Shi, who died early, and continued to marry Dong Dayan's three daughters. Dong Zhengxian, who went to Hangzhou with Wu Ronglie and Pan Ronggui to complain, is Dong Dayan's nephew. Pan Youyuan, the son of Pan, married Wu Naikang, the second daughter of Xiakou. Wu Ronglie is Wu Naikang's uncle. "Huangmei case" is known as one of the three unsolved cases in Zhejiang, which has caused a sensation throughout the country. In this lawsuit, three squires, Wu Ronglie, Pan Ronggui and Dong Zhengxian, can be as close as an enemy in this lawsuit and share life and death for the people. In addition to repaying Dou Guangnai's kindness, they should also have a valuable affection with their children.
In his later years, Pan Ronggui was enthusiastic about local public welfare undertakings. He also built a ancestral hall in Pan Shi, traced the origin of surnames and compiled Pan Shi's genealogy by hand, leaving a legacy for future generations. He leads a quiet life in Jinxiang. On his eightieth birthday, the Wenzhou magistrate sent the Preface to Longevity written by Bao Taidai. In the eyes of the imperial court, Pan Ronggui was "old in heart and old in body, with white hair and beard, but speaking of it, he had a strong color temperature and reached the world." He admired Pan Ronggui's generosity and chivalrous character as a Confucian scholar in the Huangmei case and called him a "great man".
Third, making a fortune is good for Pan Xuerou
Pan Ronggui has three sons, the firstborn Pan, the second Pan and the third Pan Xuechou. These three sons have studied literature since childhood and achieved something. Pan Shiyi's three brothers are always friendly. The eldest son Pan (1759- 1843), whose name is Jingkang, wrote poems and retired from the imperial court. He is young and ambiguous. When he was weak, he studied classics and became a calligrapher. He won the second place in Ganlong Guimao (1783) county examination, the first place in the official examination, and entered the county school. In the same year, I learned from Dou Guangnai that I was a doctoral student (that is, Gong Sheng) and entered imperial academy. However, many times after that, I failed to participate in the rural examination, so I gave up the imperial examination and concentrated on managing domestic affairs. Jiaqing Renshen (18 12) donated the title of chief secretary Wen Li.
Frustrated, Pan joined the business world, but he was like a duck to water. With more than 500 taels of silver as capital, he opened two pawn shops, Huichuan and Guangxing, in Wenzhou City. In Wenzhou City, he made two friends, and he managed well. The pawn business was booming and the financial resources were rolling in. Although he is a businessman, Pan has no business habits. He likes to make friends with the scribes, and he is respected for his generosity and wealth.
Unfortunately, his eldest son Pan Youyuan died young, which made Pan feel deeply hurt. Since then, he has no intention of doing business. He ended his pawn shop in Wenzhou and returned to Jinxiang City. He will gain something from Wenzhou, plus the property left by his ancestors, and vigorously purchase fields and build luxury houses. According to Guangxu's Pan Shi Genealogy, Pan returned to Jinxiang and added another 5,000 mu of land. A new house 1 1 was built in Qian Wei Street, plus the original house 17. Panjiayuan 100 stores. Maybe more than half of the street belongs to Pan. Pan pushed the Pan Shi family's career to a peak, and his wealth far exceeded his father's.
Although Pan is a businessman, his knowledge and measurement are beyond the reach of ordinary businessmen, and he never lags behind others in charity. Pan usually doesn't promise easily, but he keeps his promise and never breaks it. In the seventeenth year of Daoguang (1837), Pingyang County ordered Liao Zhongji to rebuild Pingyang City, and Pan took the lead in contributing capital, which led other squires to contribute actively. According to Pingyang County Records of the Republic of China, "In the seventeenth year of Daoguang, Liao Chong, the magistrate of a county, had the opportunity to rebuild with Pan and others. It is 18 feet high and covers 642 people. " Usually, people are kind and honest, "losing in public is happy, and being anxious is happy." He helps those who are widowed, lonely and displaced.
In Pingyang County, Pan once witnessed his father, Wu Ronglie, Dong Zhengxian and other squires assisting Dou Guangnai in a life-and-death contest with Huangmei. During the Jiaqing period, another case occurred in Pingyang. Lin Zhongying, a Confucian scholar from Beigang, sued Xu Yingtai, the magistrate of Pingyang County, and finally made Xu Yingtai and other officials get the punishment they deserved. Pan expressed deep sympathy for Lin Zhongying's experience and gave selfless help. After Lin Zhongying won the lawsuit, Pan Zeng wrote a poem:
It is difficult for me to travel without hesitation, just because I am depressed.
Tang Xuan's brand is the same as skin care, anti-inflammatory and so on.
Cruel people accept things, but greedy servants add food.
Fortunately, I looked down at Sheng Zedan, washed away the grievances and laid the pillow.
In the poem, Pan profoundly exposed the greed and ruthlessness of local officials. In his later years, Pan enjoyed life and paid attention to health. He built a "mound" in the northeast of his home as a secluded retreat, and carefully arranged this place. "There are rockeries on his back, flowers and trees around him, fish, birds and livestock, pools, springs and decorations." In his spare time, Pan was late, copied copybooks, and taught his children and grandchildren to read in class. Living a table is always full, and the wine in the cup is not an empty life. Over 80 years old, Pan Xuerou is still hale and hearty and in good health. He went out without crutches or support, and later died of an occasional cold. In the second year of Tongzhi (1863), the second son Pan Jifu asked the scholar Yang Xuanqing to write an application. The famous scholar Gao Baiyuan presented a plaque of "secluded city" with the postscript: "Cai Zhou is not partial to wisdom, so he can infer heaven and earth".
Fourth, the rich and kind Panwen Gong Xue.
Pan Ronggui's second brother, Pan Rongguang, is a taboo, virtuous, wise, and an official student. He is also a famous squire in the city. He has three sons. The eldest son died young, and the second son, Jing Shao, died young. Only the third son, Pan, inherited his father's career and supported the huge family business of Pan Shi.
Pan (1764- 1833), whose real name is Yunzhong, is a human being and a benefactor. Eldest brother died young, leaving a daughter. Pan took her sister-in-law to her knees. When she died, her niece was like a relative. When he grew up, he personally betrothed her to the students of Zhengjialou, and gave birth to Zheng, who was the general director who later built the steep gate. Pan also has a younger sister who married the Xu family in Jinxiang. Her husband died young and became a widow, leaving two sons, Xu Zhengxi and Xu Huanran. Pan Gongxue sympathized with his experience and proposed two nephews.
Pan studied literature since childhood and gave up the imperial examination in order to manage the housework. He likes to make friends with the teachers of the law, build dozens of China houses, the residence is called "Yi Tang", and build gardens, rockeries and pools behind the houses; Another house named "Attack Fang Xuan" was built, during which literati lingered, recited poems and played the strings. Bao Tai wrote an postscript to attack Fang Xuan, describing the attack of the other side at that time:
"Mr. Pan, Mr. Jun, build three rooms, plant flowers and trees, build Yuan Zhang stone, and build a small garden. The medicine is red and the banana wind is ridiculous. Whenever the spring mash caresses the evening, the autumn piano opens the day, or calls for a reward, or finds a companion. The tour of the hat on the hillside, the supervision of the water, and the interest of pine. Curtain roll, dark green to eyebrow; When carving on the sill, the incense is on the sleeve. According to the deep and beautiful songs, the songs are picked by people in the wind, and the feelings are in thinking and can be cherished. It stinks, so wear vanilla. " It means Dexiang, and I want to repair it. "
The poet Bao Tai also wrote a poem entitled "Three Lions Picture, Pan Yun Cup Special Topic", in which he wrote ...... Although it is faint and strange, its qi is overwhelming. How can Jingsheng dolphins and dogs have such bad babies? In this poem, Bao Tai may metaphor Pan as a lion and praise his efforts and glory.
Pan is a good neighbor of Dundun people, helping the poor, such as subsidizing the repair of the city wall and paying for the army; In the local area, there are charitable acts such as building ferries and bridges. In his later years, he was healthy and energetic, which can be described as an affluent life. On his 60th birthday, his nephew Zheng Zhijian (Zheng's father) presented a "Songling" plaque. On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, his two nephews and Xu Huanran sent a "Huide" plaque, which recorded Pan's parenting virtue and the grace of regeneration. "Well, I'm not so lonely. My uncle's long exposure has nurtured me and benefited me selflessly. When you eat in the ground, there is more millet and more rice. The house is cool and pleasant. If you give a house, you will have a harmonious home. " If it is dry, it will flourish. "
Wu Naiyi of Xiakou and Ye Shi of Pingyang School also wrote birthday speeches. Among them, Wu Naiyi wrote in the preface to the 60th birthday of Yin Weng that "this Weng is charming, the Hakka language comes from the crimson snow rice, and Lao Zi dances. I believe it is plum blossom. " Ye Shi praised him for his "strong filial piety, light taste and fame." The posture is the same as that of Yujin, and the degree will be bright. "Fan the fragrance of ancestors and shine the light of games."
Five, Pan Shi's descendants are versatile.
Pan Shi's descendants are rich, studious and well-managed, which has maintained the Pan Shi family for nearly a hundred years. For example, Pan, Pan's second brother, is known as Harmony. Pingyang teaches Ye Shi to write an inscription for Pan: "Study hard, make fewer friends, and note the hometown with articles ... Although it is not widely known, it is worthy of being an alcoholic and Confucian." His eldest son, Sen Chungong, whose real name was Shuli Village, was presented to the Chief Secretary by Junxiu in the first year of Jiaqing (18 1 1). Pan Jizhong, the eldest son of Cen Chunhong, is from Shi Quan and a student of Guo Jian. He helped his uncle Pan build the ancestral temple. Unfortunately, he failed many times in the imperial examination and eventually donated it to the governor. Pan Shiquan usually likes reading, reciting poems, tasting wine, playing the piano, playing chess and painting to entertain his old age. When he was 60 years old in Rong Qing, his relatives and friends gave him a "first opening" plaque. Zheng Zeng, a poet from the South Tower, wrote a poem "Farewell to Pan Shiquan":
The colors of clouds and trees on Lion Mountain are boundless, so don't hate it when you look back.
Wen is still alive, but his dream is unforgettable.
I envy you for thinking like Pan Yue, but I am ashamed of Zheng Zhuang.
When will Xiyuan get together again and work hard?
Pan Youyuan, the son of Pan (1797- 1823), whose real name is South China, was given the second-class patent in the 23rd year of Jiaqing (18 18). Pan Youyuan studied poetry and calligraphy diligently, but unfortunately participated in several times. Pan Xuerou ordered him to give up the imperial examination and help him manage the family business. Later, he reported the donation to Tongzhi as usual. Pan Youyuan is thrifty and tolerant, and specializes in Copybook for calligraphy. There is still an inscription on the plaque, but he died at the age of 27. Pan Youyuan married Wu Naikang, the second daughter of Xia Kou Wu Naikang, and gave birth to two sons. The eldest son, Doctor Pan (18 17- 1864), whose name is Mingzhe, was appointed as a doctor by North Korea. Zheng once wrote a poem "Xiao Chun Xie Pan doctor crossing the river to see him off":
The cock crows and the wind sails all the way.
The mountain is still in jathyapple, and it is going to rain.
More traces of floating stems, infinite feelings for wicker.
I remember that I also lit candles by the window and frequently promoted new words about spring night.
Pan Jifu, the second son of Pan Youyuan (1823- 1866), whose real name is Chuixu, participated in the renovation of Pingyang city wall and discussed the governor of Bapin Provincial Hospital. Pan Jifu's eldest son, Pan Qinghong, is the son of Zheng, a poet in the south building. Xianfeng has been in charge for many years (1859). Zheng has "A Gift to Pan Jifu, Kun Yu and Qin Ji":
Every time I smile at Fiona Fang, I know my brother is in trouble.
30 years, contract preference, two generations of alliances.
Standing on the piano and respecting feelings, it is difficult to talk about history and dreams.
It is more pity for Uncle Bao, and he is famous for his gentleness everywhere.
Pan Youyuan's second daughter Xia, Xia Bamei's boss, helped Zhang Jiapu and Zheng fight against the money club. Together, they built a steep gate with a thick body and a thin body.
Another example is Pan Fu 'e, the son of Pan (18 13- 1868), whose real name is Shutang, whose real name is Lu Yuan, and Daoguang is four years old (1833), who gave it to students, Daoguang Gengzi Year 1840 Xiu Pingyang. He also donated 300 mu of fertile land to Pingyang Nursery, and his kindness to children was respected in the first year of Tongzhi (1862). On his 50th birthday, nephews such as Zheng, Xia Chengxiu, Wu and Xu presented a "Shengheng" plaque, praising him as "rich but not arrogant, good in nature". In the ninth year of Tongzhi (1870), a four-character plaque inscribed by Fang Wei in Pingyang County was presented to Pan Jia in recognition of Pan Fue's charitable acts such as losing his salary, repairing the city, donating money to help the poor and starving.
Six, a generation of famous teacher Pan Zhongwu
On the one hand, Pan Shi's wealth can be compared with that of Yu, Xia and Yin in Jinxiang. Xia Shaoqiu, a scholar in Jinxiang, once described the grand occasion of Pan's family as follows: "Celebrating wine and singing is always full of guests, and the lights are brilliant and noisy, which is really a blessing to each other." Pan Tiguang, son of Hong, is called "Sir". He was handsome, proficient in poetry, hospitable and extravagant, but unfortunately he died young. Since then, his family has been going downhill. Di Mei's wife Shi Yu is the daughter of Yu Xiaolan, a famous squire in Jinxiang. She began to be widowed at the age of 22, but she is smart and well-managed. For more than a decade, almost a mess of families have run well and warehouses are abundant. According to Xia Shaoqiu's book The 60th Anniversary of Mothers of Children, the Pan Shi family in Jinxiang was neck and neck with the Yu family and Xia family. But since then, Yu's and Xia's only felt self-sufficient, and Pan Shi was able to "have a brilliant career in the world, and the summer house is full of canals and canals, and the door is as old as before." Thanks for Yu's work. Yu painstakingly raised his only son, Pan Zhongwu, extended his apprenticeship, strictly supervised classes, and flogged him if he was a little slack, and finally cultivated him into an adult.
Pan Zhongwu, whose real name is Pikui, whose word is Cheng Lie, is brilliant and upright in Jinxiang, and is a celebrity praised by fellow villagers. In the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923), Mr. Yu, the headmaster of the Fifth Primary School (Jinxiang Primary School) in Pingyang County, gave way and Pan Zhongwu took over as the headmaster. Pan Zhongwu loves the school and makes great efforts to repair the school buildings and cultivate talents. At that time, the academic circles in Jinxiang were very active. In order to oppose the warlord war and promote the national revolution, Su and Chen Shichun, who studied in Wen Xiang, returned to Jinxiang in the summer vacation, set up a "lion dance garment workshop" and auctioned the confiscated proceeds from the Japanese goods movement as activities funds. Teacher Pan Zhongwu and Yu Yun primary school teachers are also very enthusiastic and give strong support to the lecture club. Pan Zhongwu even asked Su and other students to borrow Pan Jia to start preparing programs and guide them to discuss rehearsals day and night. The lecture club has performed plays reflecting the theme of anti-Japanese national salvation, such as "East Asian Storm" and "Peacock Flying Southeast", and the lecture club has been insisting on it until 1924.
Pan Zhongwu is a famous squire in Jinxiang, and actively participates in social affairs. He is amiable, fair and full of expectations for his hometown. In Liu Shaokuan's diary, there are many incidents in which Pan Zhongwu participated in mediating social disputes. Pan Zhongwu is also a scholar with excellent poetry and prose. At that time, the most famous figures in Pingyang were Liu Shaokuan, Xia Shaoqiu and Lifu Wang. They formed the "E Society" and held regular activities of "Poetry Clock". Pan Zhongwu also participated in many activities. In E Society (fifth issue), the author discovered Pan Zhongwu's poem:
Look at the thorns all over the ground, rising and falling at will.
Send poems and worry about wine, and plant them at leisure.
Everyone who joins the WTO is drunk, and I am happy to welcome him.
You know, a gentleman is strong and can resist the cold in first frost.
Since then, the author has found four of Pan Zhongwu's Four Wonders in Ten Weeks of Wu Society, from which we can appreciate Pan Zhongwu's extraordinary poetic talent:
One is "Beautiful Spring":
The weather in spring is very beautiful, and Liu Mei is everywhere.
The most affectionate butterfly is a pair of butterflies, one flying around the temple.
Second, Chun Yin:
In a few minutes, the spring scenery broke cold and the smoke could not be pulled out.
Ada was lazy and didn't put down the flowers. It rained all day.
The third is Chunshan.
Qian Shan Wanfeng is newly decorated, and I love him after the rain.
Even in the grass, I am busy looking for someone to pick up incense.
Fourth, "spring water"
Duck green spring wave pattern, falling flowers scattered fish.
Ask him how much rain it rains a year, and it rises to Qianxi.
Pan Zhongwu's family has a small building called "Yinshixuan", where a group of literati gather. On the ninth day of September in Jiazi Year of the Republic of China (1924), Liu Shaokuan went to Jinxiang to stay in Pan Zhongwu's Yin Shi Xuan, and met with friends such as Xia Shaoqiu, Bao Zhongfu, Chen Pusheng, Yin Di An and Xia Shengquan. Liu Shaokuan wrote a long poem for this elegant collection: "Jiazi celebrates the Double Ninth Festival, and the weather is beautiful. I live in Panshi at the foot of Lion Mountain. Open the window to enjoy the scenery, but I am happy with the mountains. If you have seven or eight friends, you will stop. Come with wine, and a grand event planned by Wang Hong. ...
As one of the most famous squires in Jinxiang, Pan Zhongwu is deeply respected by the people. But in the land reform after 1949, Pan Zhongwu was unlucky again and again. First, the magnificent Pan Zhai was confiscated, and then all the fertile land of his family was returned to the public. Pan Zhongwu himself was swept out of the house, lived under the fence and finally died of poverty and desolation. His tragic experience makes people feel infinite.
During the Republic of China, Pan Shi family also produced many talents, except Pan Zhongwu, such as Pan Titao, who graduated from Zhejiang Army Primary School and was a second lieutenant in the army infantry. Xu Pan (Pan Changgui) graduated from Huangpu Military Academy 17; Pan Zhipei, the grandson of Pan Zhongwu, graduated from Daxia University, engaged in education and retired from Wenzhou Middle School. Today, Pan's grandson is still active in politics, academia and business.
The clan of Panjiawang can last for hundreds of years, which is inseparable from Pan Shi's ancestors' emphasis on education. According to Mr. Pan, there are a large number of "pen-supported fields" in Pan Shi, which are specially used to reward Pan Shi's children for their excellent academic performance. During the Republic of China, 20 mu was awarded for college graduation and 5 mu for high school graduation. For example, Pan Titao and Xu Pan were admitted to the military school and got 20 mu of land respectively. The last winner was Mr. Pan Zhipei.
