Each layer has a circular cloud pattern carved frame structure. The square well contains a round well, and the round well contains a square well, incorporating the concept of the round sky and the square earth. The first, second, third and fifth floors are decorated with heavenly palaces shaped like jade buildings, which are meticulously carved and surrounded by colorful clouds and many gods and fairies. The wall panels and ceilings on the second and fourth floors are painted with lifelike statues of the twenty-eight constellations. At the four corners of the caisson are four guardian heavenly kings, carved from wood, holding up the ceiling. Star map: On the top cover plate is a star map painted with gold leaf, with a blue background and 1,427 stars. It is said that this map was drawn with reference to a star map from the Tang Dynasty.

It is a professional star map with high scientific value and a precious astronomical relic.
