   Getting into the South Sky Entrance of Purple Gold Palace and then ascending the steps, you will reach the gloomy and dim corridor of the Hall of Official Wang. Official Wang, in Taoism, is the guard and supervisor to rule mountain gates, overwatch the altars, protect the laws and settle the disputes of immortals. The hall, in front of the Golden Palace, is the right place to carry on the last spiritual baptism to the pilgrims, so it has special importance. 
   With the limitation of mountain shape, the Hall of Official Wang is a little stone hall closely attached to the rock. Inside of the stone hall lays a tiny tin hall, which is the evidence of the application of tin in the building materials. The construction skill and the artistic shape of the tiny hall are also worth praising. As the first tin-made historic relic, it is very precious. 
   In the system of Taoist gods, Official Wang is the guard and supervisor to rule mountain gates, overwatch the altars, protect the laws and settle the disputes of immortals, so he takes the responsibility to punish the disloyalties. There is a horizontal board inscribed "Holy kindness covers all the earth", which has double meanings: one is to praise the emperor for his kindness to his people; the other one is to praise Emperor Zhenwu for his favor to nourish the whole earth with sunshine, rain and dew.
