Wanshou Palace culture is a typical representative of traditional Gan culture. It was formed and developed by the people of Jiangxi Province to commemorate Xu Zhenjun. It is widely spread in Jiangxi Province and more than 20 provinces and cities across the country and some Southeast Asian countries. Xu Zhenjun, whose name was Xun and whose courtesy name was Jingzhi, was a native of Yuzhang (now Nanchang County) in the Jin Dynasty. He served as the magistrate of Jingyang County. During his tenure, he was honest and upright, reduced penalties, eliminated corruption, and emphasized education, which won the hearts of the people. After resigning from office and returning to the east, the people felt his merits and changed the name of the county to "Deyang", which has not been used until now. In his hometown, he led the people to dredge the river and control the water, with remarkable results. Later, it was interpreted into the story of "Iron Pillar Locking Dragon" and widely circulated. The people built a temple to worship him, and Xu Zhenjun was revered as the "Lord of Jiangxi" and was worshipped by the people for a long time. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, Xu Zhenjun was revered as the ancestor of the Mingjing Dao School, which "combined Confucianism and Taoism". The literati and scholars sang in unison, and notes, novels, and dramas praising Xu Zhenjun emerged one after another, and there were countless poems and couplets. Emperors of all dynasties also conferred titles and inscriptions on the palace. Jiangxi Province has repeatedly requested titles and donations for the Wanshou Palace, and wealthy merchants have donated enthusiastically and worshipped the "blessing master". Many actions have greatly improved the scale and quality of the Wanshou Palace, making it leap from a folk culture to a national culture. For thousands of years, Xu Zhenjun has been the local patron saint of Jiangxi. With the construction of Nanchang Tiezhu Wanshou Palace (built in 312, originally named Tiezhu Palace), various counties, cities, towns and villages have followed suit, and more than 560 palaces have been built across the province, becoming a temple for people from many industries and at many levels to worship and a spiritual pillar to protect the peace of one side. In the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangyou Merchants Group emerged, and a large number of Gan people moved to the two lakes, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, bringing with them the worship of Xu Zhenjun. More than 700 Wanshou Palaces were built in more than 20 provinces and cities across the country. One is for worship, and the other is a place for Gan merchants to connect with their hometowns, gather for meetings, and feast and watch plays, so it is also called Jiangxi Guild Hall. There was a saying at the time that "there are guild halls in nine provinces and three regions, but Jiangxi only recognizes Wanshou Palace", making it the cultural bond of the Gan system and the spiritual support for the development of commodity economy.
