The grand hall is made up with a round roof and three square platforms which are arranged in such a way that the second platform is atop the first, and the third atop the second.
There is a Buddhist tale: Princess Ming was the in carnation of Buddha Mother Wisdom, and this kind known as Merry-Making Buddha in China. It is said they usually used such a copulative method to practise Esoteric-Buddhism, and the combination of two bodies could make the couple to become Buddha. This is a special method to be used to become a Buddha. According to Buddhist sutra, the four heavenly guardians were assigned jobs by Sakyamuni to defend Buddhism from monsters.
