According to legend, the Wang Yao Temple was built because a shoemaker in Nanguan, qi zhou, saved the princess with magical medicine in the Song Dynasty. In memory of this doctor, the emperor ordered the construction of Wang Yao Temple. The emperor's royal temple building and its hype made Wang Yao Temple more and more fragrant, and also promoted the formation and development of local medicinal materials market. With the spread of the supernatural reputation of the drug king, there has been a saying among the people that "drugs that do not pass through qi zhou are not like drugs, and drugs that do not pass through qi zhou are all herbs rather than drugs". Medical practitioners from all over the world brought local medicinal materials to bathe in the gods and trade here, and the incense will gradually evolve into a temple fair for trading Chinese medicinal materials. According to the statistics before 1937 "July 7th Incident", there were more than 4,480 merchants, distributors and local medicine dealers in the large and small drug markets in Anguo, and their goods were "purchased from Liaoning and Shenyang in the east, Sichuan and Shaanxi in the west, Yunnan and Guizhou in the south and Yunnan and Guizhou in the north, so as to make the best use of them and move widely". Wang Yao's tomb pavilion is in the middle court of Wang Yao Temple. The tomb is pavilion-style, with wooden ridge and glazed tile roof, with exquisite and unique appearance and rich national characteristics. The tombstone reads "Seal the Tomb of Zhao Ling, King of Ming Dynasty". There are dozens of tombstones in the north-south corridor and west, which record the development and changes of Wang Yao Temple and Du Yao. In the halls on the north and south sides of Wang Yao Temple Pavilion, there are ten famous medical figures such as Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Zhang and Liu Hejian. These statues are said to be the works of Tianjin clay figurine Zhang Yuanzu, which are neat and fine, with both form and spirit. The main hall of Wang Yao is the main hall of Wang Yao Temple. In the hall, there is a statue of Wang Yao dressed in a dragon robe, full of energy, majesty and kindness. On both sides of the King of Medicine are eight dashing military commanders, adding a solemn atmosphere to the main hall.
