Li Mian, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, wrote the poem "kaifu temple": "I love inviting scenery and painting screens by natural people.

The gate is a granite archway with three or four pillars, with three short eaves on the top, yellow glazed tiles on the top, a treasure top in the middle, and a kiss from the whole fish. The pillars on the gate square are painted with reliefs, figures, flowers and trees, and the colors are elegant. The couplets on both sides were written by Han Hong, a famous calligrapher and a history of Hunan Province, in the 11th year of Jiaqing (1806): "A purple flower is a phoenix, and a blue sea is a dragon".

The front hall is Maitreya Hall, also known as Three Temples. It is three rooms wide, with square columns on the outer eaves and columns on the inner eaves, all carved from granite. The temple, dedicated to the three saints of the West, is no longer there. Today, it is dedicated to Maitreya, the back of Bodhisattva Wei Tuo and the sides of the four heavenly kings. Maitreya Buddha is the image of a cloth-bag monk in the Song Dynasty.

There are four heavenly kings on both sides, namely, the King of the East, the King of the South, the King of the West with Big Eyes and the King of the North as we all know. On the back of Maitreya, Wei Tuo, the protector of three continents, is enshrined. Holding the magic army of Baodi town, it is difficult to succeed.
