The Main Hall of the Revelation Temple, also the Founder's Hall, is the main part of the buildings of divinities, also the highest in the whole building complex. With the foil of Nine-turning Yellow River Walls, the Screen Wall and the Dragon and Tiger Palace, in the second courtyard intrudes a high terrace on which The Revelation Temple stands. It looks very mighty and splendid and imbues people with a feeling of piety.
In the tenth year of the Yongle emperor in the Ming Dynasty, the Revelation Temple was built and was extended in the ruling of the Jiaqing emperor. At the end of the Ming Dynasty it was largely destroyed. Then, in the 25th year of Emperor Kangxi's rule in the Qing Dynasty, local officers and pious people donated some money to repair it. Though the royal gaseity could never be regained, many folk practices of building were added to the Main Hall. So from the hall you can find the architectural skills and arts of Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In this palace, the statues of Zhenwu and his retinues, Gold Boy and Jade Girl, are worshipped. These statues are the biggest wooden sculptures decorated with coloured drawings; which, after 600 years, are still as bright and beautiful as they originally were
