Introduction to Pan Zuyin’s Former Residence: The Pan family, a prominent family in Suzhou, has had a distinguished family history for generations, with numerous titles including Number One Scholar, Three Flowers, Imperial Academy Scholars, and many others. It enjoys the reputation of “there is no second family in the world”. Pan's House (No. 6-10) on South Shizi Street in Pingjiang Historical District was historically the residence of Pan Zuyin, the military minister, and his brother Pan Zunian during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The owner of this house was Pan Zuyin's uncle Pan Zengying. In 2004, Ms. Pan Dayu, a descendant of the Pan family, donated the Da Meng Ding and Dak Ding collected by Pan's house to the National Museum and the Shanghai Museum.
