Introduction to Panhu Temple: Panhu Temple is an ancestral hall for the Yao people to worship their ancestors. It is also the only temple in Jinxiu to commemorate the ancestor of the Yao people, King Pan. In the temple, King Pan holds an ox horn, which plays an important role in the migration history of the Yao people. Because when being chased by officers and soldiers, the Yao people divided into 12 groups and fled separately. In order to reunite in the future, the Yao people sawed the horns into 12 sections, one for each section. If the 12 Yao people reunite in the future, they can gather the horns completely. The statue of King Pan holding an ox horn is also very rare in China.
