Introduction to Zhacang: Zhacang Hall was built in the 18th to 20th years of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The architectural style and murals reflect the highest level of the temple. Yongzheng named Songzanlin Temple "Guihua Temple", and his brother Prince He Shuoguo presented a gold plaque with the book "Ci Yun Guang Fu" and hung it at the main entrance of Zhacang Hall. The entire hall is a five-story Tibetan-style carved building, supported by a total of 116 pillars and built with Dougong, Vajra, and Vajra beams. These pillars are called auspicious pillars in Tibetan areas. The entire hall can accommodate more than 1,600 monks sitting and chanting sutras.
