Next to the door of the apse are the words "Flood Control Materials Storehouse" written in big red characters. Kong Linggong said that flood control materials are indeed stored in the main hall. There are currently few remains in the hall. According to "Pingdingshan City Chronicles": Jiaxian Shanshan Guild Hall is located on Xiguan Street and was built in the 32nd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1693 AD). During the Ming and Qing Dynasties in my country, due to the meager individual business power, in order to avoid being invaded by local forces, Shanshan and Shaanxi businessmen in other places united and built Shanshan and Shaanxi guild halls in many towns. It played an active role in promoting business relationships with businessmen, exchanging business information, safeguarding the interests of fellow villagers and businessmen in the same industry, and mediating commercial disputes. According to historical records, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shanshan guild halls spread from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east, Xinjiang in the west, Liaoning in the north, and Guangdong and Guangxi in the south. They were the epitome of the brilliant commercial miracles created by Shanshan merchants. "Cihai" says: "Institutions established by people from the same place of origin or in the same industry in the capital and major cities have buildings for their fellow villagers to stay and stay." This is the most comprehensive and concise explanation of the guild hall. According to Mr. Pan Minzhong, an expert on the city’s literature and history, our city is located in the heart of the Central Plains at the junction of the mountains of western Henan and the Huanghuai Plain. It has superior natural conditions, rich products and convenient transportation. It has been a transit hub for north-south and east-west commodity trade since ancient times. Jiaxian County was originally the ancient road from Shanxi and Shaanxi to Anhui. Kong Linggong said that Jiaxian County was originally an important transportation town on the ancient road of Luoyang and Caizhou (now Runan County, Zhumadian City), with prosperous commerce and trade. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the geographical advantages of Pingdingshan were more valued by merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces who were good at doing business and making money. Therefore, the chambers of commerce of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces set up offices here. Later, 21 businessmen donated money to build the guild hall, which served as a place for welcoming guests, socializing, and paying homage. Emperor Guandi was worshiped in the guild hall. The Shanshan Guild Hall in Jiaxian County is a complex of temples and guild halls jointly built by businessmen from Shanxi and Shaanxi. It is said that the Shanshan Guild Hall holds an annual meeting once a year, regular meetings once or twice a month, and temporary meetings in case of special events.

The guild hall jointly built by Shanshan and Shaanxi merchants is generally called Shanshan Guild Hall, also called Shanshan Temple or Guandi Temple. This is because the main building hall of Shanshan Guild Hall is dedicated to Guan Gong. Guan Gong's hometown is in Jiezhou, Shanxi. According to legend, his surname came from Tongguan, Shaanxi. He was a fellow countryman of Shanxi people. In addition, Guan Gong valued integrity and loyalty, so he became the patron saint worshiped by Shanxi businessmen who were doing business away from home to unite and seek development. According to preliminary surveys, there were 145 Shanshan guild halls built by Shanshan merchants in the Pingdingshan area during the Ming and Qing dynasties. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, social unrest and business depression led to merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi returning to their hometowns one after another. The Shanshan Guild Hall in the Pingdingshan area has also withered away due to the loss of its former prosperity. Only two remain today, one is the Banzha Shanshan Guild Hall in Ruzhou City and the other is the Shanshan Guild Hall in Jiaxian County. The commercial civilization built by the merchants of Qin and Jin based on their faith has long been integrated into every brick, tile, stone and monument of the Shanshan Guild Hall. The Shanshan Guild Hall, standing steadily in the wind and rain, is silent but meaningful, seeming to remind people: Don’t forget Strict moral discipline. Shanshan Guild Hall, as an organizational form of the community, is the most important position for social activities. It has the characteristics of large scale, exquisite construction, obvious commercial nature, strong binding force, regional and industrial nature. Whenever fellow villagers suffer from "illness and itching" outside the country, the guild hall will "look out for each other and show sympathy" and provide money and medicine; it will also provide conveniences to poor scholars and poor scholars; and it will especially provide relief to the elderly and incapable of working. The ancient theater building of the Shanshan Guild Hall is mostly the essence of the guild hall architecture. In his article "Ashamed of Shanxi", Yu Qiuyu once lamented the exquisite architectural style of the theater in the Shanshan Guild Hall. History cannot repeat itself, but the Shanshan Guild Hall is telling future generations about its past glory. The courage, courage, broad business vision, unique business strategies and strict guild hall management model of the merchants at that time have all left a valuable legacy to future generations. historical wealth and worthy of discussion and consideration by future generations.
