The original "Pan pool" near the ancestral hall is only a small pond. According to the Confucian ritual system: in the Zhou Dynasty, there was a round pool in front of the emperor's palace, and the princes could only use half of it to show the difference, so it was called "panchi"; another way of saying is that the study of the emperor was called "Biyong", the study of the princes was called "panchi", which was surrounded by water, and the water of the panchi was only half of it, so it was called "panchi". In addition, the descendants of the Confucians in the Confucius Temple and the enfeoffment states of the Western Zhou Dynasty, as well as the clansmen who have the highest official rank, can build "panchi" in the ancestral hall.
