Introduction to the statue of Zhang Yazi in Guixiang Hall: There are three cast-iron statues in Guixiang Hall. The one in the middle wearing a royal hat is the image of Zhang Yazi who was named King Jishun and King Yingxianwulie. On the right is the naive one. He is deaf from the sky, and the left side is dumb and cute. A deaf person wants to speak but knows nothing, and a mute knows something but cannot speak. This can ensure that the secret of heaven will not be leaked.
The seated statue of Zhang Yazi in Guixiang Hall is the same height as the seated statue of Wenchang in the main hall, with similar shapes and expressions. However, the iron statue in Guixiang Hall is more primitive, while the iron statue in the main hall is more exquisite. They both have high cultural relic value and artistic value. In addition, the Wenchang statue in the main hall is hollow, while the cast iron statue in Guixiang Hall is solid. According to expert estimates, the three solid cast iron statues total 40 tons.
