Hanfang Yaowang Temple

　　    The main hall of Yaowang Temple has a three-bay width and six rafters in depth, featuring a single-eave hip-and-gable roof. All exterior and interior columns are square chamfered stone pillars. The pu-pai fang (horizontal beams) extend beyond the columns where they intersect. There are no intercolumnar bracket sets. The front eave column-top bracket set is a five-tiered double “false ang” (bracket arm) design, with the second jump using an inserted ang. The rear eave and gable-end column-top bracket sets are five-tiered, single-tiered ang and single false ang. The corner bracket set at the front eave uses an ang-style end decoration.

　　    Inside the hall, the four-rafter beam frame supports a larger central area, where the central purlins are connected overhead. The supporting beams and purlins are clearly visible. The main hall's southern section features exposed wooden structures, while the northern part is relatively lower. The western section shows a more integrated structural design, and the eastern side features more pronounced layered elements. The purlins in the central southern area are very large, and the layered beams and rafters display complex intersections. The central northern purlins also use sizable timber. The bracket sets throughout the hall are notably robust, and the interlayer connections are intricate. Most of the wooden components remain in relatively good condition.

　　    The current state of preservation of the main hall of Hanfang Yaowang Temple is concerning. The front eave roof has largely collapsed, with extensive damage to the front purlin beams being particularly severe. Some sections of the bracket arms are also missing, with considerable areas of decay. The wooden structure has suffered multiple instances of damage. The decorative carving details on the building have been eroded. The overall structural integrity is at significant risk. (No images available at present; contributions are welcome.)
