She was very curious and asked what she was doing. for? The old woman replied: I want to grind it into a needle. Zhenwu was even more puzzled and asked how such a thick iron pestle could be ground into a thin needle.

The main building, the Patriarch's Hall, is a three-bay hall. The temple was originally dedicated to a statue of Zhenwu young man. In front of the temple were buried two "iron needles" as thick as a bowl. They were black and shiny, symbolizing the iron pestles that my mother used to sharpen. The railing beside the hall is raised high, supporting a well pavilion, with overlapping eaves and carved ridges, flying in the air, light and elegant. There is a well in the pavilion, with a cast-iron statue of an old mother grinding a needle built into the upper niche. A fossil of a "right-horned beast" is preserved under the well platform.
