Introduction to the lobby: After passing through the Chongguang Gate, there is a platform in the courtyard, with a sundial and other objects on the platform. Behind it is the spacious main hall, which is the lobby of the Confucius Mansion. There are 5 halls and 3 meditation halls, with gray tiles hanging on the top of the mountain. In the center of the hall, there is a pavilion painted with flowing clouds and eight treasures. On the Taishi chair in the middle, a piece of spotted tiger skin is draped. In front of the chair, on a tall and narrow red lacquered case, are placed the Four Treasures of the Study, a seal box and a sign tube.
