Hall layout

secondary gate to an official residence

Yimen used to be the second main gate of the government. There are two couplets in front of the instrument door. The first couplet of a pair of couplets is: it's up to you to accumulate good and evil in the world of Yang; the second couplet is: who will be let go in the hell from ancient times to the present. This pair of couplets means that in the world of Yang, it's up to you to do good or bad things in your life. However, when people go to the underworld after death, the officials in hell have never let go of the bad people to be punished. Another couplet of the first couplet is: why care more about the world; the second couplet is: the divine world has its own great multiplication and division. This pair of couplets means that you don't have to worry about all kinds of things when you are in the world. Because the gods will repay or settle the good and evil of human beings.

There is a big abacus hanging behind the couplet. On the abacus, there are four words "not calculated by people". The abacus beads on the abacus are up and down, symbolizing the "great multiplication and division" of the divine world. Next to the abacus stood two pieces. It says: those who do good will prosper, and those who do evil will perish. It means that those who do good things will surely prosper in divine calculation, while those who do bad things will surely decline and perish in divine calculation. Town God's Temple's abacus has profound implications. On the one hand, it tells the believers that they should be indifferent to fame and wealth, not selfish, not fussy. Because, the person has the calculation, the day has the calculation, the person calculates is inferior to the day calculates. Too much fuss will pay off. On the other hand, it also tells the world that the way of heaven is the way of heaven, and the way of heaven has its own rules. Anyone who follows the way of heaven will have a good end, and those who go against the way of heaven will surely perish.
