Pan Gong Stone Archway. The "Pangong Stone Archway" was originally the outermost entrance and exit of the Confucius Temple. During the Qianlong era, when Prefect Jiang Yuanshu rebuilt the Confucius Temple, he renovated this entrance and exit and hired stone carvers to sculpt. The "Pangong Stone Archway" was originally the outermost entrance and exit of the Confucius Temple. During the Qianlong era, when Prefect Jiang Yuanshu rebuilt the Confucius Temple, he renovated this entrance and exit, hiring stone masons to carve an exquisite archway, which was then transported to Tainan for assembly. Among all the Confucius Temples in Taiwan, only the Tainan Confucius Temple has this facility. During the Japanese colonial period, the archway was separated from the Confucius Temple to build Nanmen Road, and its original function was gradually forgotten by people, with many not even knowing it was an ancillary structure of the Confucius Temple.
