2. If the left side is low, the two columns on the right side are the same height and much higher than the left side, it means that people who pray will be healthy and rich.

3. If the left side is slightly lower, and the two pillars on the right side are as high as each other, only slightly higher than the left side, it means that the Buddha will come in three days and continue to burn incense in three days.

4. If the two columns on the left are the same height, and the column on the right is much higher, it means that heaven and earth gather incense, so we should quickly put on more incense.

If there is a step-by-step rise from left to right, it is already a complete merit, and God will bless it.
