Hanfang Yao Temple

　　The main hall of the Yao King Temple is three bays wide and six rafters deep, with a single-eave hip-and-gable roof. All exterior and interior columns are square-hewn, chamfered stone pillars. The purlins extend beyond the columns where they intersect, with no intercolumnar bracket sets. The front eaves column-top bracket set is a five-purlin double “false ang” set, with the second jump using an inserted ang. The rear eaves and gable-end column-top bracket sets are five-purlin single-bracket-arm single-false-ang sets. The corner bracket set on the front eaves uses an ang-style end block.

　　Inside the hall, the four-rafter beams rest above the front and rear inner columns. The front inner columns support the central purlins, while the rear inner columns support the rear purlins. The front and rear inner columns also have bracket arms extending toward the center bay. The central purlins are supported by bracket arms on the front inner columns, while the rear purlins are borne by those on the rear inner columns. The front eaves corner bracket sets use an ang-style end block. The upper purlin structure is complex, with multiple interlayered bracket sets above the central purlins. The lower purlin system is also intricate, with layered bracket sets and bracket arms. The central purlins feature densely arranged bracket elements, and the interconnection between the lower purlins and bracket arms is highly complex. The end rafters also use dense bracket arrangements.

　　The current condition of the main hall of Hanfang Yao King Temple is concerning. A large area of the front eaves roof has collapsed, the front bay's "breast tie" beams have largely rotted and are in severe disrepair, and several bracket arms on the purlins are broken or missing. The decorative carvings on the eaves are also seriously damaged. The architectural details of the hall have become blurry. The wooden structure inside the hall is aging, and many wooden components are decaying. The entire structure shows serious signs of deterioration.
