Zhao Puchu has been invited to write hall names and couplets for many Buddhist monasteries including this one. The text of the work, which reads 'Da Xiong Bao Dian', means the 'Hall of Mahavira'. Written with wet and wide brushstrokes in a solemn and dignified style, this work exhibits influences from preceding calligraphers and their exemplary works. It also reflects Zhao's calligrpaphic achievement and literary learning.
