在清宫佛堂的显要位置，通常放置拟宫殿样式并完全按照实体比例微缩制成的佛龛。上为屋顶，常刻有斗拱，中为柱身，内供佛像；下为基座，常用须弥座。
In the prominent position of the Qing Palace Buddhist Hall, the Buddhist niches are usually placed in a palace-like style and miniaturized completely in accordance with the proportion of the entity. The top is the roof, often engraved with a bucket arch, the middle is the pillar body, and the inside is the Buddha statue; the bottom is the base, commonly used Xumi seat.
其间每个细节并非随意设计，而是具有强烈的伦理特征，体现着封建社会森严的等级制度。如屋顶的式样、装饰物走兽的数量以及斗拱、彩画纹样等，都有严格规定。
In the meantime, every detail is not designed randomly, but has strong ethical characteristics, reflecting the strict hierarchical system of feudal society. For example, the style of roof, the number of ornaments and animals, as well as dome arch, painted patterns, etc., are strictly regulated.
