The main hall was built in the fifth year of Tang Dahe
reign period (831). The brick foundation of the hall is 1.5 meters high, five
bays across the front facade, depth of four rafters, and has a single eaves hip
gable roof. With a tingtang (廳堂) style
structure, the structural frame is four rafters in depth using a 4-rafter-beam
which connects to the two eaves pillars, which are round, straight pillars. The
corner pillars are clearly taller than the central pillars and have an inward
incline (shengqi 生起 and cejiao 側腳). Between
the columns there are lan'e (闌額). There is
no pupaifang (普拍枋). The pillar top bracket
sets have two steps of huagong(華栱) that are
touxinzao (偷心造). There is a panel door in
the central bay of the front facade. The two subsidiary bays have prism-lattice
windows—straight lattice whose slats are triangular in cross-section (pozi
lingchuang 破子棂窗). There are two Tang dynasty and two Qing dynasty inscribed
tablets (jie 碣) set into the walls of the front facade.
