Pan Temple Stone Arch was the outermost gate of the Confucius temple. In the period of the Qianlong era, the magistrate Chiang Yuan-shu remodeled the Confucius temple and reconstructed the gate. He employed a stonemason to carve a delicate arch and shipped to Tainan. With the Yang Temple Stone Arch today, only Tainan Confucius Temple has this facility in Taiwan.
