The hall features a five-bay width, six-rafter depth, a single-eave hip-and-gable roof, and a seven-rafter front-and-rear corridor-style framework. Under the eaves, bracket sets (dougong) are densely arranged, and the bracket arms extend outward at a 5-degree angle, showcasing delicate craftsmanship. There are 15 stone steles from the Ming Dynasty and 9 from the Qing Dynasty. In 1965, the People’s Government of Dai County designated it as a county-level cultural relics protection unit.
