Pan Renguan was the ancestor of the pan surname in Xunwu County. He was influenced by his parents and preached by a strict teacher. He was good at military strategy and valued loyalty and filial piety. Pan Ren was full of ambition when he was young. He wanted to serve his country. Therefore, under the guidance of his father, he read four books and five classics and mastered all 18 kinds of martial arts. During the period of Deyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, the yuan army captured the capital Lin'an. Pan Ren, who was at the age of cardamom, responded positively to the call of King Wen Tianxiang. He led his soldiers to fight against the yuan army in Tingzhou, and the emperor appointed pan Ren as the general of the army. In Tingzhou, he adopted the tactics of strengthening the wall and clearing the field, blocking the yuan army out of Tingzhou. But after all, we were outnumbered. After holding on for more than two months, Tingzhou was lost. Pan Ren was not disheartened. He built fortifications in Zhangzhou, revived his military power, and repulsed the yuan army's attacks many times in Zhangzhou. In the second year of Jingyan, the situation deteriorated sharply. Zhang Shijie and other anti yuan generals decided to protect the emperor and move to Guangdong. In order to clean up the yuan army and ensure the emperor's safe transfer, pan Ren followed Wen Tianxiang through Meizhou, Guangdong Province, to enter Jiangxi Province. On the way to Anyuan waist Castle (now Xunwu Zhenxia Village), a broad hillock to camp and rest. Wen Tianxiang left pan Ren in place to guard against the enemy. Pan Ren took strict precautions and set up defenses in Jitan, Jianxi, Xiangshan and other places to encourage the people to resist the Yuan Dynasty. Shortly afterwards, Yuan Jun Li Heng transferred heavy troops from central Jiangxi to attack and rejuvenate the country. Pan took cover of Wen Tianxiang's war and stepped back to Guangdong again. In the third year of Jingyan, song duanzong died. His younger brother Zhao Min ascended to the throne of emperor in the east of Leizhou Peninsula, Guangdong Province, and was promoted to minister of the Ministry of war pan Ren. Seeing that there was little left in the Song Dynasty, pan Ren was very worried. In order to strengthen the strength of escorting the army, he led the volunteers around and arrived in Leizhou in the spring of the second year of Xiangxing. However, pan Ren was devastated to learn that the emperor and his party were all killed in Yashan. Later, he searched for Zhao's descendants and colleagues, but there was no news, so he led the remnant back to his hometown. When he came to Xiangshan in Xunwu, he learned that the Yuan Dynasty regime in minting and other places was stable, and the troops could not stand on the ground, so he had to disband on the spot. He took his son shisan Lang to settle down in Xiangshan. After the death of the Song Dynasty, pan Ren was responsible for his country and people. He was melancholy all day long and didn't want to eat. He told his son to remember the national humiliation. In 1279, pan Ren became ill and died.

And gave him a high evaluation: "loyal minister determined to patriotism, the death of the family, good general died, become benevolent and die."
