After picking up the steps, I entered the second floor of the Singer Tower -Singing Scripture Pavilion, and looked south. Hundreds of years ago, officials of Taiyuan government sang the Sutra Tower, and the officials sang the names, address and other information of the "Five Classics" here. Many students are nervous, expect, and look forward to listening carefully under the singing scriptures, just like the mood when waiting for the college entrance examination results today.

Guo Meiyu, deputy director of the Taiyuan Guandi Temple Museum, said, "Today, the imperial examination system has been abolished for more than 100 years, but the Singing Singers still has an irreplaceable role. There are a few ancient buildings with high cultural value. "
