Four major continents and eight small continents are arranged in four directions around the Xiangyan Zongyin Pavilion, which symbolizes Mount Maitreya, the center of the world. In the southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest of the pavilion, there are four lama pagodas, red, white, black and green, representing the “Four Wisdoms” of the Buddhist scriptures. The Four Continents and the Four Continents of Puning Temple, one of the eight temples outside the Chengde Summer Resort, use the same drawing, so they are exactly the same.
