Bathing Virtue Hall

　　On the northwest platform of the Wuying Hall complex on the western side of the Outer Court, there is a uniquely styled remnant of a Turkish-style "bathroom," known as the Bathing Virtue Hall. Its name originates from the phrase "bathe in virtue and cleanse the body" in The Book of Rites, and it served as the office for Qing dynasty imperial scholars responsible for proofreading books, specifically tasked with printing and binding texts.

　　The Bathing Virtue Hall faces south with its back to the north, spanning three bays in width, and is topped with a yellow-glazed tile hip-and-gable roof. To the west and slightly behind the main hall lies a northern room, spanning two bays, also with a yellow-glazed tile single-eave gable-and-hip roof. The rear eave of the eastern secondary bay has a door that leads to a passageway connecting to the rear chamber, which twists at a right angle like an L-shape. The rear chamber has a square floor plan with a domed ceiling. The interior walls up to the ceiling are lined with plain white glazed bricks, and there is a window at the top. The back wall features an iron stove used for heating water, while an outdoor stove platform is located to the northwest of the Bathing Virtue Hall.

　　At the northernmost end outside the west wall of the Wuying Hall complex, there is a well pavilion with a pyramidal roof covered in yellow-glazed tiles, and the well opening is situated on a square stone platform.
