天台县平桥镇紫东村无相寺。该地尚存明代潘日升墓前石质四方飨亭一座。
South of Feifeng Mountain behind Wuxiang Temple, 40 li west of the county seat, lies the tomb of Posthumous Grand Guardian of the Heir Apparent Stone Bridge Pan of the former Ming. A native of Xinchang County, Shaoxing Prefecture, his son Pan Sheng achieved second place (bangyan) in the 1541 metropolitan examination, rising to Grand Secretary of the Wuying Hall. After his death [text lost], 26 mu of sacrificial fields, 10 [text lost] mu of land, 8 mu of hills, and 0.9 mu of pond were established, registered under "Pan Ancestral Sacrificial Household of Taizhou" for tax payment. After the Qing dynasty's establishment, [text lost] was maintained by descendants, yet [text lost] Taizhou and Xinchang, though adjacent, were distantly separated, complicating management. During Kangxi reign, local gentry Pan Zhang administered affairs orderly as a clansman. After Zhang's death without heirs, buried on the mountain's right flank, his nephew Zhi [text lost] inherited management but felled pines [text lost] and sold fields [text lost]. Mid-Qianlong era, descendant Pan Tingyu sued before former Magistrate Zhang, who verified facts and ruled for redemption. Yet Congjun not only refused but transferred tax registration to his own household, attempting permanent usurpation. After Jiaqing 1 (1796), Xinchang Pans Zuqian, Wuxun et al. petitioned for years. Though court reaffirmed prior verdict, defiance persisted. Upon appeal for severe punishment, Congjun's grandson Dalang and sons Yonglong/Yongguan proved too poor for [text lost] redemption. Mediated by locals Fan Bingshan and Pang Zuanshan: 9.2 mu of sold cemetery fields [text lost] were redeemed by Xinchang Pans; Pan Zhang's burial site received 1 mu of hill land as generous compensation; all remaining lands reverted to Xinchang Pans with original tax registration. After deed execution, they requested this record for posterity. I, distant from the ancestor's era and lacking Pan genealogy, how could chronicle him centuries later? Yet I reflect: since antiquity, noble clans constructing grand tombs abound, but jade fishes and gold artifacts resurface – even tombs rarely endure, let alone lands. Now Zuqian et al. reclaiming ancestral estate through litigation manifests filial piety and Pan's lingering blessings. Therefore, engraving property boundaries [erased] prevents encroachment – a local magistrate's duty. Herein recorded.
