The full name of Fengsheng Temple is Shifang Fengsheng Temple. On the south side of Jinci Temple in the southwest suburb of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. Originally a villa of Wei Chijingde, a general of the Tang Dynasty, it was built as a temple in the fifth year of Tang Wude (AD 622), and it has been damaged.

The Golden Man Terrace is also called the Lotus Terrace. The so-called Golden Man is the Iron Man and man of iron. Among the four iron men, the iron man in the southwest corner is the most, which was cast in the fourth year of Shaosheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1197). It is smooth and bright, and is known as the "stainless steel" of the Song Dynasty. It has a unique shape and is magnificent. The iron man in the northeast corner was recast in the second year of the Republic of China (1913).

There are five explanations for Jin people:

1. Records of Jinci: "Iron is gold, and molten iron casts people, so it is called the Golden God. Gold can produce water, and if there is gold, water will flourish." So good men and women raised money to cast and prayed for "good weather."

2. In order to prevent floods and pray for village peace, the villagers set up this golden god to save water.

Third, the "golden protector of the temple", or the patron saint of the temple, "presents the Lady of Zhao Ji, and provides for her forever." Song Shaosheng's five-year inscription records: "Relying on inspiration for eternal life, getting kindness for many years", which means guarding the Virgin and praying for blessing. (inscription on the iron man's chest in the northwest corner)

Fourth, Jinyang is an important town in the northern border of China, which is often invaded by foreign countries. Shortly after the Song Dynasty destroyed Jinyang, Taiyuan was trapped by Jin people. Jin Lu Hui Qin Emperor went north, and the Northern Song Dynasty ended here. It seems that the Iron Man in Jinci came from the people's resentment against Zhao and Song Dynasties, and the Song Emperor was weak and incompetent, so he pinned his desire to defend his hometown on huskar.

5. It is said that the Golden Man Terrace was built by Jin Bing when he occupied Taiyuan and went to the Second Emperor of the Song Dynasty to celebrate his victory, hence the name "Golden Man Terrace".
