There are five inscribed stones embedded on both walls. In front of the hall, there is a worship hall and a platform. On both sides are the East Queen Mother Hall and the West King Father Hall. Behind Lüzu Hall is Lusheng Hall. Inside the hall, there is a sleeping statue of Lusheng carved in bluestone on his side. The expression and image are extremely vivid. On the walls on the east, west, and north sides are murals depicting the story of Lusheng that ‘wealth, honor and splendor are ultimately illusory causes, and a dream of yellow millet ends one’s life’.
