Dongyue Hall of the Chenghuang Temple

　　    Situated within the Chenghuang Temple in the eastern part of the old city, it faces southwest from the northeast. The year of its initial construction remains undetermined. Judging from the existing beam structure, there are no signs of replacement, indicating that the building has not undergone major renovations after its construction. The Chenghuang Temple is one of the earlier temples in Shuicheng and has now been partially demolished. Dongyue Hall is one of the more intact ancient structures preserved within the temple complex. It is a brick-and-timber structure, with the main framework entirely made of high-quality silk pear wood. Featuring a nine-rafter system, the hall spans a total width of three bays at 13.83 meters and extends 7.86 meters in depth. It is situated on a 2.8-meter-high moon terrace and features a single-eave, hanging-roof design on two levels. The roof is covered with small blue tiles. The central bay on both the ground floor and the second floor is single-spaced, while the side bays are double-spaced. The central bay uses a raised-beam construction method, while the side bays employ a piercing-brace technique. The hall covers an area of 108 square meters and has withstood years of wind and rain without damage.

　　　　    The steps in front of the hall consist of 19 risers, with no vertical aprons. They are 6 meters in length and 4 meters in width. On both sides of the facade of the moon terrace, there are bluestone Moon Palace gates, each 2.8 meters high and level with the terrace, wide enough to allow two people to pass through abreast.

　　　　    Dongyue Hall stands tall and majestic, reflecting the architectural standards and technological achievements of its time. It holds significant cultural heritage value as one of the relatively rare surviving ancient architectural relics in the region, making it particularly precious. On December 28, 1987, it was designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit.
