From south to north, it is the Tianwang hall, the small gate and the main hall of Yuhuangge.

Tianwang hall and Yuhuangge hall are distributed on the same central axis. The lower courtyard is composed of Tianwang hall, dongxipeidian hall and zhengchan room. The Tianwang hall is three rooms wide and two rooms deep. It is built on the top of the hard mountain.

In the 28th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty, the second gengzi was founded in the new year. On the East and west sides of the Tianwang hall, there is a small hard hill buwa top corner gate, which can enter the upper courtyard.

From the 18 stone steps into the small door for the upper courtyard.

On both sides of the small gate are the bell tower on the left and the drum tower on the right. The architectural form is the double eaves with the roof of a hill.

The front of the upper courtyard is the main hall of Yuhuangge, which is five rooms wide and three rooms deep. It has three eaves and a glazed tile roof.

The main ridge of the hall is the glazed flower ridge, and the two ends are built with Panlong big kisses. On the ridge are the glazed eight immortals. On the side ridge are built with big kisses running animals. The four corners of the ridge are equipped with animal heads, and the iron Duo is suspended below. The breeze is blowing and Ding Ding is making a sound. The momentum is extraordinary.

The painting of the wooden frame and oil decoration of the whole building is basically "Hexi" and "Su style".

The hall has three storeys in appearance, but it's actually two storeys. In the middle of the second storey Pavilion, there is an eaves protruding to the outside. There is a corridor under it. Visitors can look around the corridor, overlooking the Huliu River in the north, the Cuiping mountain in the south, the mountains and rivers in the west, and the villages in the East.

Inside the main hall, there is a statue of the Jade Emperor on the front (north side) and a mural of "Fengshen" on the wall. On the walls on both sides of the statue of the Jade Emperor are painted the five Yuan emperor and the queen mother.

In the 23rd year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1544 AD), foreigners invaded the Zijingguan pass. Su Zhigao, the right counsellor and Jinshi of Shanxi's political secretary, was ordered to go to Yuzhou to collect grain and pay, and urged the army to go to Guangchang (Laiyuan) via feihuyu to reinforce the Zijingguan pass.

When Su Jinshi was in the blue sky, he took a leisurely time. He boarded the Jade Emperor Pavilion on a moonlit night and looked around at the surrounding mountains. It was like a phoenix flying across the sky. It was a small word named Tian Xian Zi.

The poem says: in front of the Qingdi temple, the Red Emperor Temple, when the dream comes back in the empty voice, the feather wheel returns and the crane book is late. Mountain spit moon, level dike, cold jade dew wet fairy clothes.

The stone carving of tianxianzi is a kind of walking grass. The characters are as big as Sheng. The strokes are fluent and natural. The characters are elegant and unrestrained, and the style is bold and unconstrained. It is a treasure of calligraphy art.
