According to the Quanzhou Evening News, Quanzhou archaeology recently released an important news: the ancestral home of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon lives in Quanzhou city.
Pan Xiunan, a descendant of Pan Shi in Quanzhou, said that Ban Ki-moon's ancestral home was Panshan in Quanzhou, and it was clearly recorded in the genealogy of Pan Shi in China, South Korea and China.
Not long ago, Ban Ki-moon's cousin, Pan Jixiu, executive vice president of the World Pan Shi Cultural Research Association, came to China to participate in the world Pan Shi clan friendship activities, and said that according to the genealogy of the Korean giant Pan Shi, Pan Shi's ancestors were Pan Wenjie and Pan Wenzhuang who went to Korea as officials in the Song Dynasty, and their father's name was Pan You. According to Sun Jianglu's Genealogy of Pan Shi, Pan Youzi Zuo Ting was a bachelor of Hanlin in Southern Tang Dynasty. He gave birth to four sons, namely Huan Wen, Wen Zhen, Wen Jie and Wen Zhuang. Pan You's Sanzi Wenjie and Sizi Wenzhuang moved to North Korea to be an official, which is the foundation of Pan Shi in North Korea.
In the second year of Tang Yifeng (AD 677), Pan Xiunan, the prefect of Tang Dynasty, followed the sage general and his descendants to settle in Panshan, Quanzhou, Fujian. Pan Xiunan said that Pan Wenjie and Pan Wenzhuang were the eighth generation descendants of Kaimin Pan Shi, counting from Yuan Panjie, the ancestor of Kaimin Pan Shi.
Pan Wenzhong, a descendant of Quanzhou Pan Shi, introduced that Panshan was named after Pan's ancestors came to the spring for development. Dapanshan is near Panshan Sugar Factory in the northern peak of Quanzhou City, and Xiaopanshan is near the Zhujiang River in the urban pontoon. Now the two places are collectively called Panshan. After Pan's death, later people chose Pancuokou in Qingyuan Mountain to build his tomb, and later moved back to Panshan in 1996 due to the expansion of 180 Hospital.
Pan shizu was born in Panshan, Quanzhou
Southeast Express News (Reporter Chen Linya) The ancestral home of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is in Panshan, Quanzhou. This news has attracted the attention of many netizens.
Yesterday, Pan Wenguo, the younger brother of Pan Wenzhong, a descendant of Pan Shi in Quanzhou, said in an interview with this reporter that during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Quanzhou businessmen frequently went to Vietnam and the Korean Peninsula for business exchanges, and many of them stayed there. It was during that period that the Korean Pan Shi family migrated.
"I have something to prove here." Pan Wenguo said that at the southern foot of Huangcuo in Panshan, Quanzhou, there is an ancestral grave engraved with "General Tang Zhaode's Pan Lingyuan". More importantly, on the occasion of Ban Ki-moon's election as Secretary-General of the United Nations, the clansmen of Pan Shi in Quanzhou jointly sent a congratulatory letter to the clansmen's Association of Pan Shi, and Ban Ki-moon personally wrote back to thank him.
"All these can show that Ban Ki-moon's ancestral home is in Quanzhou, and he is a descendant of Pan Shi like us." Pan Wenguo said with a little excitement.
Regarding previous media reports that "Ban Ki-moon's ancestral home should be Panyao Village, Gaoshan Town, Xingyang County, Henan Province", Pan Wenguo said that the ancestors of Quanzhou Pan Shi did migrate from Henan, but not Xingyang County, but Gushi County, Henan Province. "This is recorded in our family tree."
