Introduction to the Siyue Hall: It is located on both sides of the corridor in front of Junji Gate. Starting from Junji Gate in a clockwise direction, there are Dongyue Hall, Nanyue Hall, Xiyue Hall, and Beiyue Hall. Together with Zhongyue, it is the Five Sacred Mountains. The ancients called Zhongyue Temple the palace of the earth god, and the five elements of earth are respected. Therefore, Zhongyue is the first of the five mountains, and it is matched with the Four Mountains Hall, which expresses the religious concept of "the coexistence of the five mountains and the completeness of the five elements."
