In the middle of the main hall is a statue of Bian Que, more than two meters high, wearing a dragon robe with jade belt, a square forehead and a broad forehead, a plump face, covered with powder and gold, a kind expression and bright eyes. On the left and right of the main statue are two attendants, facing each other, holding a medicine box and medical books respectively. The statue of Bian Que and the statues of ten famous doctors in the Nuan Pavilion on both sides, a total of 20, are relics of the Ming Dynasty. According to records, Bianque Temple was built jointly by Xima, Leizhuang, Shiwei and other villages to facilitate sacrifices. This is the East Temple. There is a Bian Que Tomb (Bian Que Mausoleum) more than 500 meters west of the East Temple. The tomb is more than two meters high and more than 50 meters in circumference. The "Yuxiang County Chronicle" records it as "Zhou Bian Que Tomb". Next to Bian Que's tomb is the West Temple. The West Temple is a product of the same period as Bian Que's tomb and is the main place to worship Bian Que. For more than two thousand years, local villagers have held a grand temple fair every year on the twentieth day of the first lunar month to commemorate Bian Que's birthday. Nowadays, the west temple is destroyed but the east temple remains.
