Emperor Gaozong was pleased with the picture and made it a sacrificial object for the throne.

Two-year-old Xianren was convicted of Wu Hou's crime, and he was forced to commit suicide. Xian has three sons who are smooth, courteous and righteous. Smooth as the king of lean, migration Yifeng was punished. Keeping righteousness is king, and moving to Guiyang. After Xianhe Guangshun passed away, Shouyi got the picture of "Pantang Five Show". Hanging arch for four years to keep righteous disease, Qiu prequel told the eldest son to bear ao and avoid Wu Hou's punishment. Cheng ao and his descendants went to sea by He, Wu and Annan, and entered Guangzhou in the first year of Tianfu in the late Jin Dynasty, where they lived in Zhijie and Julongli in Longxi.

Li Ji, a descendant of Cheng 'ao, moved to Pantang Village after he found the "Five Shows in Pantang". At that time, it coincided with the harvest of horseshoes, and Longkun ate fresh food according to local habits. He felt that the fragrance and sweetness were some fresh horseshoes that he wanted to eat later. Soon, the fresh horseshoe began to rot, so Long Kun used the baking method to peel and mash the horseshoe, put it in a kettle, and bake it to powder with slow fire. Boiling the powdered water into a paste and eating it with the villagers are all called the same as eating fresh horseshoes.

because it is made of "Pantang horseshoe", Longkun called it "Pantang horseshoe powder". Subsequently, Longkun opened the Pantang Wuxiu store on the spot, selling Pantang horseshoe powder and Pantang Wuxiu products to the world. And "Pantang horseshoe powder" is today's water chestnut cake.
