The Main Hall of Shousheng Temple (Fourth Batch of Provincial-Level Protected Sites)
Era: Yuan Dynasty
Address: Beisu Village, Zezhang Town, Xinjiang County
Originally built in the second year of the Jianlong era of the Song Dynasty (961), the hall has undergone renovations in subsequent dynasties. Only the Yuan Dynasty main hall remains today. The hall features a five-bay width and six-rafter depth, with a single-eave gable-and-hip roof, covering a construction area of 250 square meters. The bracket sets under the eaves are arranged in a single step, and one set is positioned on one side. The project uses dougong brackets, and the large interior space is divided by several wooden columns. The structure largely retains the architectural characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty. On both sides of the hall are preserved murals from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Main Hall of Shousheng Temple is a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
