Yan Quanming
Yan Quanming (顏泉明) was the eldest son of Changshan Commandery's Grand Protector Yan Gaoqing and the older brother of Yan Jiming.
Alongside his father and brother, Quanming participated in the defense of Changshan in 756 when it was besieged by the Yeluohe led by Shi Siming during the An-Shi Rebellion. When the city fell, Quanming was captured as a prisoner and sent to Fanyang, while his brother and father were both executed by An Lushan in Luoyang.
Following An Lushan's death in 757, Quanming was freed and made efforts to raise funds and free the women of the Yan family and Changshan orphans. He was given a box by the Chinese Hidden One Li E, which contained the remains of his brother and father. In 758, together with the Changshan survivors while carrying the remains, Quanming made his journey to Pingyuan Commandery where they were received by his uncle Yan Zhenqing, the county's Grand Protector. There, Quanming and his family arranged Jiming and Gaoqing to be given a proper funeral rite and burial.[1]
