Royal most temples with yellow glazed tiles, can Pudu Hall why use black tile? This is because the ancient Chinese thinkers use the yin and yang five elements in the doctrine of gold, wood, water, fire, earth to summarize everything in the world. Water in the five elements is located in the north, and the five sides of the relative five colors, namely green, red, yellow, white and black. The main water in the north is attached to the black color. Therefore, by combining the doctrines of "five elements", "five directions" and "five colors", black alludes to the connotation of water.

She transformed into 21 phases (differentiated by color) to teach the sentient beings. White Tara and Green Tara are the most common. It is said that worshiping the Green Tara can free one from the eight fears and the eight difficulties, i.e. the difficulties of lions, elephants, water, snakes, prisons, thieves, water and inhumanity.

It is said that he is the infinite life Buddha in order to teach the Dharma world and change into the appearance of the mighty vajra, with the mighty power to subdue the devil, which is "might"; with the wisdom to break through the troubles of karmic obstacles, so that all beings from the ignorance of the liberation of the so-called "virtue", that is, the mighty vajra. Buddhist scriptures say, mighty virtue vajra is Manjushri bodhisattva change to subdue the king of yama, lamas, monks call it "ya man daga", meaning subdue yama demon honors. Pudu temple of the great mighty vajra, like a bull's head and bare hands, *** have nine heads, 34 arms and 16 legs, holding a variety of magic weapons, hanging on the necklace of skulls, feet trampled on the subdued demon, is a picture of the open mouth staring at the eyes of the blood, hideous and horrible ferocious statue.

The four walls of the temple are murals. Can be divided into two major parts.

In addition to some parts of the damage, most of the complete; second wall also has color painting, painting part of 1.5 meters high, but more damage. In a layer of murals can still clearly see the landscape of the picture. Gentle and elegant bodhisattva, the brave and fearless heavenly kings and warriors, hand-held mani beads of human head and snake monster, the graceful mother of God; and the magnificent heavenly palace, wonderful and peaceful temple, clean lotus pond; and at the same time staggeringly interspersed with nature in the landscape, trees, flowers and plants, animals, birds, buildings; and real-life villages, farmhouses, tents and felt bags, and begging Bili, brave knights, crooked merchants, civilian women, children and other secular and commoners, women, children and other secular characters. Smooth lines, colorful, vivid, presenting a fresh, soft, quiet decorative tone, so that a slightly single depressing Pudu Hall added a relaxed and bright interest. Although these murals from the Qing dynasty, but completely rid of the Qing dynasty modeling rough, color red and green drawing characteristics. And not quite the same as the Tibetan Buddhist region of the art of painting. Its color and production, both the use of China's ancient traditional color raw materials, but also played the basic features of the Western Buddhist art modeling God, is a reflection of national cultural integration of a masterpiece.

Buddhist temples painted murals, with the introduction of Buddhism has a long history, as an organic part of the Chinese painting gallery. Its expression and content, mostly based on the Buddha's work, Buddha's life and other scriptures and create the Buddha, bodhisattva, disciples, Tianlong eight statues and Buddha biography, karma, and sutra changes and other story images. The mural paintings in the Pudu Hall also show stories attached to the Buddha's life, sutra changes, and karma, with the theme of "Seeking the Bodhisattva with wisdom and saving all living beings with compassion," assisting the Buddha in propagating the teachings, thus completing the "Bodhisattva Acts" practiced by the mother of the Dharma. The purpose of the mural is to encourage people to follow the Buddha's teachings and to pursue the beauty of the Buddha's world. The stories reflected in the murals are Buddhist sutra stories. The content is extensive, but there is no strict demarcation between the stories and the panels, and each panel shows a storyline. Among them to karma (karma) stories see more. Such as in the south-west wall of the Pudu Hall to the picture of an elephant, said: once upon a time there was a rich man gave birth to a beautiful and lovely child. On the day of the child's birth, a golden elephant appeared in the family's warehouse, so the child's name was Elephant Protector. The golden elephant grew up with the elephant protection and inseparable, rare is the golden elephant urine and feces are pure gold. When the king learns of this, he forces the golden elephant to stay in the palace. After the golden elephant escapes, he returns to Elephant Protector. Elephant protection feel that the insatiable king will not stop. With the consent of his parents, he traveled on the golden elephant to the Garden of Arrival to see the World Honored One and became a monk. His Holiness taught him the precepts of bhikkhu and the Four Noble Truths, and he soon became a Rohan. The scene depicted in the picture is that of Elephant Guardian traveling to Gion to see His Holiness. To the right of the archway of the Pudu Hall, there is a picture of a man and a dove. The story goes: King of Kagyu was a good alms-giver, and the Heavenly Emperor chased a dove as an eagle to test the king's sincerity. The dove flew straight to the armpit of the king and asked for protection. In order to save this creature, King Vishnu cut off the flesh of his body, which was equal to the weight of the pigeon, so that the pigeon was spared from death. There are other stories and images such as "Goodness Goes to the Other Shore", "The Peacock King", "The Sea Dragon", etc., all of which exhort people to do good deeds, to be patient, to give alms, to be kind, to be wise, to be trustworthy, to hear the Dharma, to keep the precepts and to lay the groundwork to enter the Pure Land of the Buddha in the next life. In order to enter the Pure Land of Buddha in the next life, they should lay a good foundation so that they will not fall into hell in the cycle of karmic rebirths... In the An Yuan Temple on the south of the flat carcass, there is a courtyard sitting east to west, because there is a small temple in the courtyard, commonly known as the small temple, which is the Qing Government with the Dashdawa Department of the Jehol, has assisted the Qing army in counter-insurgency outstanding cause of the Erzha Temple of the light rainbow of the construction of the small Buddha Hall.
