Introduction to the Xiangdian Hall: The Xiangdian Hall and the Monument of Dayu Mausoleum were both built by Nandaji, the prefect of Shaoxing. They were destroyed in the late Qing Dynasty. The current hall was rebuilt in November 2007. The architectural style layout is the same as that of the Yu Temple main hall, with five main halls. In the middle, there are double eaves resting on the top of the mountain, and three auxiliary halls in the north and south.
The main hall of Xiangdian is the place where the God of Dayu is enshrined. There is a shrine inside, which is dedicated to the "God of Dayu, the Holy Ancestor of China". In front of the shrine, 43 sacrificial vessels are displayed according to the "Tailao" ceremony. During the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to Yu, the sacrificial vessels were filled with sacrifices to offer sacrifices to Yu the Great.
