Introduction to the Fuzhen Guan Hall: The Fuzhen Guan Main Hall, also known as the "ancestral hall", is the main building of the Fuzhen Guan spiritual area and the climax of the entire building complex. The main hall of Fuzhenguan was built in the 10th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. It was expanded during the Jiajing period. It was seriously damaged in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the 25th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Because local officials and folk believers donated funds for repairs in the Qing Dynasty, although it was difficult to maintain the royal grade of the original building, many folk architectural practices were added. Therefore, through the main hall, you can see the remains of the architectural technology and art of the Ming and Qing dynasties at the same time.
The main hall enshrines the statue of Zhenwu God and his attendants, the Golden Boy and the Jade Girl. What's more worth mentioning is that this group of huge statues is the largest painted wooden statue in Wudang Mountain. It has lasted 600 years and is still as beautiful as new.
