If we say celebrities in the Qing Dynasty, people will think of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang. They are important officials in the late Qing Dynasty, in charge of some national affairs, and they are household names. It is precisely because of their talents that the people of these two families have certain capital and power, which has laid a learning capital for their descendants. Therefore, among the descendants of Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan, many famous figures appeared. However, even so, their descendants can't compare with a certain family, and this family is the Pan family. Speaking of the Pan family, many people don't know it, but Pan is really an outstanding person. Pan, whose real name is Wu County, Jiangsu Province (now Suzhou). 65-year-old, 438+06, participated in the "boy test" and advanced from the weak crown. Winning the first prize at the age of 25 can be described as smooth sailing. Pan was an official in Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang and Xianfeng Dynasties, and was a veteran of the four dynasties. He and his cousins, Pan Shihuang and Sun Pan Zuyin, are also called "Suzhou Three Masters". Pan experienced four generations: Gan, Jia, Dao and Xian. He has worked conscientiously in the imperial court for more than 50 years, and his official position is not small. He ranked first in three public offices and became an important minister of North Korea. In the twenty-fourth year of Daoguang, there were four cabinet bachelors. Apart from Pan, A, Bao Xing and Zhuo are all his proteges. Lang Wen called him the first lucky guy in 300 years. During the years when Pan was valued by the emperor, the Pan Shi family also developed well, and many prominent officials appeared, which made this family the most prominent existence in Suzhou. The word "Pan" is very famous in Suzhou. Perhaps it is because of Pan's existence that the learning atmosphere of this family has been improved. Therefore, in the Pan family, there are 1 champion, 8 Jinshi and 16 middle judges. Pan Shi's family was also called "the home of Hanlin between grandsons and uncles" by Li Hongzhang, so Pan became one of the big families in Suzhou in Qing Dynasty. It is for this reason that Pan's ancestral home later became the Suzhou Champion Museum, which receives more than 80,000 tourists every year. And the geographical location is also good, just across the street from the famous Guanqian Street. Pan Zuyin is the grandson of Pan and a famous scholar of Pan Shi family. Although he is not as famous as his grandfather, he is also one of the best people in this country. Obviously, the people taught by Pan are not bad. Therefore, Pan Zuyin's official career has been smooth sailing, and he has always been a minister of punishments and a minister of Xiaohong. Because of the story of the Pan Shi family, there has always been a saying in Suzhou: "Pan Shi is good at reading." It is said that when Pan Shi's children go to school, they will bring a copper pot full of fried buttonwood seeds to attract golden phoenix. Therefore, wealthy people in Suzhou, or literati, will go to the phoenix tree in front of their house. Perhaps, among the descendants of the Pan Shi family, no one is as outstanding as Pan, but there is no denying that the education level of his descendants is good, which is the ethos brought out by Pan.
