Extended data

The architectural layout of Jinci Temple mostly adopts China's traditional central axis symmetrical layout, such as Notre Dame Hall, Tang Shuyu Hall, Wutian Temple, Wenchang Palace, Shengfeng Hall and other first-line buildings. The hall is divided into two courtyards, the front and back. The inner space is arranged with the axis of the mountain gate-sacrificial hall-main hall, and the left and right compartments are supplemented by the hall.

This layout is adapted to the patriarchal clan system and the ethical code system in ancient China, with orderly order, clear priorities, well-connected axes and obvious spatial order, which fully expresses the values such as the concept of clan sacrifice, the social order of settling down with blood and geography as the link, and the principle of respecting the inferior by virtue.

Except for the buildings on the axis, other elements are randomly arranged according to local conditions, which does not feel messy and sloppy, but adds freedom, liveliness and flexibility to the rules.
