This type of architecture is based on Chinese hieroglyph, it is ubiquitous in Vietnamese pagodas, however, when arriving at Hoi An, you can only see this unique structure at the Chinese Assembly Halls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is always the discrepancy of architecture between the Assembly Halls in Hoi An.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Trieu Chau Assembly Hall, the construction is made of wood, along with the sophisticated sculptures. Besides, there are some prominent sculptures made from marble that alternate between the wood ones.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_meaning_of_the_sculptures_and_interiors\"><\/span>2.

For instance, the sculpture of \u201cTu Linh\u201d which is the \u201cFour Holy Beasts\u201d, it consists of four animals: Long, Li, Qi, Phuong, each of them symbolizes one constellation (There are 4 in total). Additionally, the Four Holy Plants \u201c Tung, Cuc, Truc, Mai\u201d also present a certain meaning based on the attributes of each plant. Generally, all the sculptures around the Hall notably pose distinct definitions. Because the immigrants who built the Halls were traders, the detail of the sculptures would also pray for the success, fortune, and safety whenever they embarked.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IV_Explore_Hoi_An_with_Lux_Travel_DMC\"><\/span>IV.
