When visiting temples, people are used to seeing Heaven's Stove placed on the ground, but in the past, some households that built courtyard-style homes used to hang 'Three Realms Stoves' in the main hall. These suspended Heaven's Stoves were used as an adaptation by commoners to worship the Three Officials of 'Heaven, Earth, and Water.' One unique stove in Qieding District is suspended using iron wires, requiring a ladder to climb for lighting incense. This type of stove, known as 'Three Realms Stove,' is becoming rare but remains a significant religious artifact associated with ancient worship practices.
