						<p><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yu Yuan did not remain a static entity once it left the ownership of the Pan family.  Even if it had stayed within the family, it would have changed as each generation added buildings, modified gardens, and adapted it to new family members and businesses.  </font></p>
						<p><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">One of the amazing features of Yu Yuan is how much was kept through the centuries perhaps because people recognized the beauty created by Pan Yunduan and Zhang Nanyang. We have already seen one building built in 1760 by the Chinese grain merchants, others continued to be added to the garden  during the 1800's.</font></p>
