There is a long couplet written on the left and right top beams of the hall: "master Huang Laodao, Zhou kongzu, Wu Shijia, Buddha, his royal highness daoyefoye, ruye has been shining the sun and the moon for thousands of years; imitate the Kunlun snow temple, Mount Tai, bathe the dragon's gate, pass the heaven and earth in the rain, wrap the snow in the mirror, cloud in the rain, and wind and thunder in the vigorous air." There is a couplet at the gate of the temple: "heaven and earth are not called emperor, but emperor ancestors; it is Shenzong that shuttles between the sun and the moon, but not God". In front of the main hall of Pangu king, there is a front hall, in which stands a marble stele, engraved with the running script "the first ancestor of heaven, Pangu king".
