Panwang Festival is a grand traditional festival for the Yao people in Qianjiadong to worship their ancestor Panhu. Ancient books collected by the Yao people in various places record: "The ancestor of the Yao people, Pan Hu, was the incarnation of a dragon dog. After he helped the first emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, King Ping, conquer King Gao, King Ping named him King Gui and betrothed him to the third princess as his wife. But Pan Hu did not want to be an official, so he resigned from the position of King Gui and came to Guanyang (Guanyang), a place surrounded by mountains and connected to three basins, namely Huangguan Town, Xinjie Township, and Guanyang Town in Guanyang today, to survive and multiply. This place is Qianjia Cave, Guanyang, Guilin, where six sons and six daughters were born. King Ping gave them twelve surnames: Pan, Shen, Bao, Huang, Li, Deng, Zhou, Zhao, Hu, Tang, Lei, and Feng. When the six sons and six daughters grew up, King Ping came here to visit his daughter and son-in-law. In order to entertain his father-in-law, Panhu went hunting in the mountains himself. He was accidentally knocked off the cliff by a goat and fell into the fork of a tung tree and was trapped to death. His children arrived later, killed the goat, used the sheepskin to make the drumhead, cut down the tung tree, and used brown wood to make the drum body; this is what later became famous The Yao people beat the drum skin with their hands when dancing the long drum, one of the purposes of which is to avenge Pan Hu and the other is to commemorate Pan Hu. Later, the second day of the fourth lunar month, the day when Pan Hu died, was designated as Pan Wang Festival. Every year on the second day of the fourth lunar month, the Yao people on both sides of the Guanjiang River in Qianjiadong hold a grand sacrificial ceremony at the Pan Wang Temple at the east gate of the county town to worship Pan Wang. After burning incense and paper and offering wine and food to Pan Wang, Yao men and women beat the drum skin and dance the long drum, calling a deity called Ping Wang and a deity called Ping Wang. Two large Bodhisattvas, called Pan Wang, were carried to the street. This expressed the Yao people's respect and worship for Pan Wang, and they prayed for his blessing of peace, good luck, good weather and good harvests. In the 1960s, under the influence of the idea of breaking the four olds and establishing the four new, the Pan Wang Temple in Qianjiadong was destroyed. Since then, the Yao people have had to burn incense and paper at home on the second day of the fourth lunar month to go to the county town to attend the market to commemorate Pan Wang.
