Houtu Temple introduced that Houtu Niangniang Temple Fair was held on March 18th and 5th of the lunar calendar every year in the Qing Dynasty, which was also the day of thick earth ceremony, because it was close to the borders of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan provinces, and people from the three provinces gathered together to celebrate this grand event. At that time, although the courtyard in the temple was wide, it was packed. On these three stages, the Shaanxi Opera, Henan Opera and Shanxi Pu Opera of Yuncheng generation appeared as the queen of the earth. In fact, it is a performance for the villagers in the three provinces, and the momentum is still liked by the old people.

The core of the whole temple is the main hall and the main hall, which are built on a high and wide platform. Dedication Hall is a big tile house with five rooms wide and four trees deep. The main hall, that is, Notre Dame de Houtu, is five rooms wide and six trees deep, with a single eaves hanging from the top of the mountain. The structure of the two halls is simple, and the later buildings entered the corner, blindly pursuing details, carving everything from chess, railings and sparrows to partition doors and windows, column bases and so on. Between this group of buildings and the "needle"-shaped stage, there is a small hall with three bays in the south, which is dedicated to two groups of gods who guard the empress dowager. On the one hand, it is the Five Tigers of , a hero of Dongyue, and on the other hand, it is the Five Tigers of Shu and Han, headed by the Three Realms Devil, so it is called the East and West Five Tigers Hall.
