Introduction to the Second Hall: The first thing that comes into view in the Second Hall is the four words "upright and bright". Empress Dowager Cixi often wrote these four words in handwriting to reward meritorious ministers. This was not only a requirement for officials to govern, but also a reminder to them not to engage in clique and private activities behind the back of the court. There is a couplet hanging on both sides: the first couplet is "The law is carried out without relatives, and the orders are carried out without reason"; the second couplet is "Rewards are only severe for doubts, punishments are only light for doubts". The meaning of this couplet is that in the face of the law, we cannot show favoritism even to relatives and friends. It emphasizes that everyone is equal before the law. But when dealing with rewards and punishments, we need to be humane and humane. There is a three-foot koan in the hall, with "Silence" and "Avoidance" signs placed on both sides. There are four treasures of the study on the koan, and the Taoist platform is here to discuss and handle general affairs.
