Outside the Zhonghua Gate, there are two four-corner pavilions separated from Shinto. There is a stone man carved in the pavilion in the 5th year of Emperor An of the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 1 18), which is about 1 m high, flat-topped, with a big face and a big buckle at the waist. He is simple and elegant, although he has been eroded by wind and rain, but his clothes are still very clear, which is a precious material for studying the carving art and clothing in Han Dynasty. According to historical records, Weng Zhong surnamed Ruan was a general of the Qin Dynasty. He is brave and good at fighting. After his death, he cast a statue outside the horse gate of Xianyang Palace, which was later used by generations. He called the cast bronze statues and stone statues Weng Zhong. There is an interesting legend about Weng Zhong in front of China. In the 15th year of Qianlong (AD 1750), Emperor Qianlong went to Zhongyue, and a scholar from imperial academy came to Weng Zhong. Gan Long pointed to Weng Zhong and deliberately asked, "Ai Qing, who is this?" Hanlin quickly replied, "Weng Zhong". When Qianlong saw that Weng Zhong was called Weng Zhong, he wrote a doggerel with a smile and deliberately reversed the last two words of each sentence. This poem reads: "Why did Weng Zhong read Weng Zhong? You can see that you usually do less kung fu. You have to fight for Lin Han (Hanlin) in the DPRK and make a judgment in Jiangnan. " The main entrance of Zhongyue Temple in Zhonghua Gate, formerly known as "The First Square of Famous Mountains", is a wooden archway. On 1942, the Xiandian archway with original brick structure was rebuilt and renamed as "Zhonghua Gate". The words "Yi Song", "Dai Ying", "Song Jun" and "Tianzhong" were written inside and outside the door, which briefly explained the geographical location of Zhongyue Temple.
In the north of Zhonghua Gate, there is an octagonal pavilion with double eaves, that is, the "Medicine Remnant Pavilion", which is the place where ancient people traveled to worship the Yue God. Yan Fang and Queti carved opera stories on it, with beautiful images and extraordinary exquisiteness. Go through the drug residue pavilion and you will see the paradise pavilion. Tianzhongge is the main entrance of Zhongyue Hall in Ming and Qing Dynasties, formerly known as Huangzhonglou, which was renamed in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. It is five rooms wide, with double eaves and blue tiles, carved beams and painted columns, cornices and upturned corners, and has a unique style. The door is fastened with a tiger's head and guarded by two stone lions outside. It is lifelike and is a masterpiece of sculpture in the Qing Dynasty. There is a stone carving ball with a diameter of 15 cm in the lion's mouth on the east side, and a small lion is pressed by the lion's front hoof on the west side, which is exquisite and unique. After the stone lion, there are three tall pavilions with openings. The platform is more than 7 meters high, with five rooms wide and one room deep. It is covered with green glazed tiles and surrounded by protective walls. Here, tourists can be seen everywhere, with Mu Zi Hill in the east, Wang Chaoling in the west, Pan Yu in the south and Huanggaifeng in the north. There is an ancient god library in the east of Chongshengmen, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty. There are four tall iron men around the vault of the ancient gods. Ironman was cast in the first year of Yingzong Zhiping in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1064). They are 3 meters high and weigh about 3 tons. They clenched their fists and shook their arms, glaring at each other, and their images were magnificent and lifelike. They are the four "iron men who keep the treasury" in China, and they are also artistic treasures cast in the Northern Song Dynasty.
On the east and west sides of the aisle in front of Chongsheng Gate, there are three Song Dynasty stone tablets and one Jin Dynasty stone tablet. Because the authors of the four stone tablets were all top scholars at that time, they were called "Four Top Scholars Monuments". The contents of the monument are all about the historical evolution and construction of Zhongyue Temple. Its commemorative system, elegant calligraphy, vigorous and powerful. Hua Sanmen, named after Taoism's "one gasification and three purification", is the past gate of Zhongyue Temple. On the west side after Sanmen, there is a tablet pavilion without words. There is a stone tablet of Qing Dynasty in the pavilion. There are only lines and lace on the tablet, but no words, so it is called a tablet without words. This monument means that the virtue of Yue God is too great to be described in words, so an empty stone was erected as a memorial.
To the north of huasanmen is jijunmen, which is also called "general gate" because there are two oak trees with a height of one foot and four feet on each side of the middle gate. It is the mountain gate of the central courtyard of Zhongyue Hall. This gate was built in the Dading period of Jin Shizong (1161189), destroyed by fire in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. On the left and right are the east and west gates. The current system is a rest hall with green glazed tiles, five rooms wide and six frames deep. The beams and arches in the hall are painted with elegant and simple advanced color paintings, with pink gold thread and green painting. On both sides of the door are clay statues of two samurai, 4.5 meters high, holding axes and cymbals, which are magnificent. There are many precious cultural relics near the military gate, as well as Weibei, Tang Brown, Songzhuang, Golden Lion and ancient temples. In front of Ji Jun, there is a monument to the Temple of the Song Gaoling of Zhongyue, which was carved in the second year of Tai 'an, Wen Chengdi, Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 456). It is the oldest stone tablet in Songshan area, with a height of 2.82 meters, carved from all the stones. The inscription is the biography of Kou Qian, a famous Taoist priest in Song Dynasty. The font structure is neat, and the style is simple and smart, like the ancient Han tablet. This is extremely valuable information for studying Shu Wei's calligraphy and the religious history of Zhongyue Temple. Kang Youwei listed it as the first of the top ten historical sites in the north, calling it "heavy strangeness". Now most of the handwriting has peeled off, leaving only a few hundred words at the beginning and end.
On both sides of the tunnel in front of Ji Jun is April Hall. Clockwise, the Jijunmen are Dongyue Hall, Nanyue Hall, Xiyue Hall and Beiyue Hall in turn, and Zhongyue is Wuyue. The ancients called Zhongyue Temple the palace of the land god, and the five elements of the earth were respected. Therefore, Zhongyue is the first of the five mountains, accompanied by Siyue Temple, indicating the religious concept that "the five mountains exist and the five elements are complete".
On the lower east side of the steps outside Junjimen, there is a monument to the Five Mountains, which was carved in the thirty-second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1604). According to the location of the five mountains, the monument is engraved with a picture of the five mountains, and the legend of the five mountains is engraved under the picture. The true shape map of the Five Mountains is a pictographic monument representing the Five Mountains, which is drawn according to different characteristics such as "Huashan stands upright, Mount Tai sits, Beishan walks, Nanshan flies, and Zhongshan lies". Through Takamatsu Ji Jun Square, on the high stone railing platform, there is the main hall of Zhongyue Temple, the Jijun Temple, or "Zhongyue Temple", which is the largest building in the mountain. This hall is nine rooms wide and five rooms deep, with a double eaves, yellow glazed tiles, rafters flying arches and ceiling beams, all painted in the most noble and ethereal colors of the Qing Dynasty. The main hall of this specification, second only to the main hall in the Forbidden City and the imperial tomb, is 1 times that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early Qing Dynasty, there was a plaque with the word "Ji Juntang" in the Song Dynasty.
There is a 3-meter-high platform in front of the main hall, surrounded by stone railings, and there are three stone steps on the front of the platform. The middle steps are divided into two roads, and there is a ribbon-shaped "Imperial Road" stone between the two roads, which is embossed with exquisite patterns. The upper section is "Dulong Entrenchment", the middle section is "Shuanglong Play Pearl" and the lower section is "Shuhe Play Lotus" and other decorations. Below the platform, there are two exquisite stele pavilions on the left and right, namely "Imperial Pavilion" in the east, Imperial Pavilion in the 15th year of Qianlong (A.D. 1750) in the west, Imperial Pavilion in the 48th year of Qianlong (A.D. 1783) with cursive characters and arrow-shaped gestures on it.
Walking into the Zhongyue Temple, the first thing that attracts people's attention is the Panlong algae well on the painted ceiling, which is composed of exquisite small bucket arches. Panlong lives in the middle of the well, and there are pearls in Longkou. Locals call it "Old Dragon's Pan Nest", which is a group of precious works of art. The carving art of caisson is extremely exquisite, and the tendrils of the dragon hold their heads high, winding up, delicate and lovely, and unfolding creatively.
There is also a vivid fairy tale about caisson: once upon a time, when Zhongyue Temple was being built, an old carpenter in rags came. The foreman looked down on him for fear of damaging the materials, so he only gave him a Bergen knot and told him to get on the pole. The old man cuts and cuts every day, and no one cares what he does. A few days later, he smiled and said to the foreman, "Do you like it?" The craftsman thought: What can a cedar knot do? What's worth seeing! It must be that the old man didn't want to work here, but there was nothing to see, so he followed the old man. Seen from a distance, cypress acne still exists. Walking up to him, the craftsman kicked him on the head with his foot, and with a bang, the cypress pimple turned into a dragon caisson, which was just placed in the hall. He hurried back to find the old man and then disappeared. Later, it was said that Luban skillfully built the Panlong algae well.
In the center of the main hall is a large and gorgeous shrine, and a horizontal plaque with the words "High Third Runner-up" is hung on the cabinet. There is a 3-meter-high statue of the heavenly king in the niche, surrounded by statues of old and young envoys and tea boys. There is a 6-meter-high general standing with a hammer on the outside of the niche, with Fang Bi on the left and Fang Xiang on the right. It is the largest clay sculpture in Songshan area. On the wooden frame in the corner of the East Hall, a 1,000-kilo iron clock cast in the first year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (AD 1573) hangs. On the back wall of the shrine in the main hall, there is a "Kan" tablet engraved with the word "three" with a wide mark. Legend has it that there is a flaming mountain west of Huanggaifeng in the back of Yue Temple, which belongs to the water image in the Eight Diagrams. This monument was built with water.

There are two big "dragon chairs" carved with rosewood at both ends. There is a sleeping statue of the king on the couch, carved with sandalwood on the east couch and colored clay on the west couch. Longwang Temple, built outside Zhongyue Temple, is antique and solemn. Now, a Taoist temple with modern and ancient architectural features is built on the basis of the ancient temple in the Tang Dynasty. It is located at the top of Zhongyue Mountain, connecting Tianyu and Long Mai. The whole Longwang Temple was built according to the dragon shape and Taoist gossip.
