Laolv Hall(simplified Chinese:老律堂; traditional Chinese: 老律堂; pinyin: LǎO LǜTáng; literally “the Hall of Preaching”) was originally called Qi Zhen Hall where the seven disciples of Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School of Taoism, were enshrined. The senior Taoist priest Wang Changyue was appointed by the emperor to preach in this Hall; his students came from all over the country, so Taoism was prevalent for a while. To commemorate this event, Qi Zhen Hall was changed into Laolv Hall, meaning the Hall of Preaching. Its floor space is very large, and the Taoist priests living in the White Cloud Taoist Temple hold religious activities there. Every morning and evening the priests come to the hall to recite scriptures; and at the time of the Taoist festivals and on the birthday of the Taoist ancestor, the Taoist rites are held there.
