Gantang Garden, also known as Zhaogong Temple, was built on the site of the original Zhaogong Temple. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu died and the young king became king. It was founded by two uncles of King Cheng of Zhou, the Duke of Zhou, who called Centimeter Mountain and assisted in state affairs. "Duke Luo, his name is Feishan." His surname and given name are Shi. He was a famous politician in the early Western Zhou Dynasty and one of the three princes. Zhao Gong was deeply loved by the people because of his sympathy for the people's feelings and his extensive application of preferential policies.

Later, people voluntarily donated money to build the Zhaogong Temple and planted gantang trees in the yard to commemorate Zhaogong. The plaque of "Gantang Garden" was nominated by Li Ruihuan, the former chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and inscribed by the Manchu royal family Aisin Gioro Zuofu. The famous calligrapher Ru Gui inscribed on the Japanese wall the four characters "Advocating the style of incorruption, pearls will be smooth every year, the moon will be bright every year, and the breath will be pure" and "Keep the style of incorruption". On the left is "Gantang's Legacy and Portrait of Duke Zhao" by the famous painter Fan Zeng.
