There are 1 eye wells on both sides of Yunlu, which is collectively called "Outer Dianchi Lake".

The overall layout of the Confucian Temple shows the unique rules of the Confucian Temple architecture after Yuanming, China. More than 20 temples (fang) in the temple, about the renovation of the Ming and Qing generations, are all available. But all the monuments (and the books) do not mention the founding age of the Temple of Literature, only know that the Dacheng Palace was rebuilt in 1163 (three years of Jin Dading). Pingyao Temple of Literature is known in the world as a rare early building in the existing Temple of Literature.
