Adapted from the famous poem that Jian-hun Chen, Chiayi poet, who wrote about colored pottery, along with Mr. Yu-shan Lin's autography, the color-painted poem shield of colored pottery that Mr. Huang-yi Lin produced is the main spirit of our hall.

In the past, when people built a temple, they would divide a temple into 2 sides. People would hire artisans with different styles to construct the two sides of a temple, making artisans to fully present their skills without any reservations, which is called “contenders”.

Also, people might hire different artisans to construct different temples, which is called “antagonist of skills”. It would allow to present diverse, skillful, and styling decoration of temples architecture.
