Xian Yi himself composed and wrote out the couplets on the gates of the courtyard and the main building. To either side of the frame are four characters the same size as the frame on pieces of regular red paper:

To the furthest outer edge on either side is another couplet:

On the long cabinet at the base of the main wall, directly beneath the portrait of Mao Zedong, stands a row of statues: the patron saint of pioneers, his face a dark crimson hue; a bodhisattva with a willow branch and washing bowl; the god of wealth, his pudgy face smiling; ancient general Guan Yu, with a red face and a long beard.
