Fengshan Yaowang Temple is located in Wang Village, Dasi Town, and faces Jinzibo Highway to the west. It was first built in the second year of Yongchun in the Tang Dynasty (683 AD). After historical changes, it was rebuilt again in 1997. It is attached with Yaowang Lake Park and Rare Birds Garden. It is now a 3A-level tourist attraction and a district-level cultural relic protection unit. This temple consists of the mountain gate, front hall, middle hall, back hall, east and west side halls, bell tower and drum tower. The ancient temple is also commonly known as Fengshan Yaowang Temple and Fengwo Temple. Fengshan means there is no mountain. The earth is piled up to form a platform, and the temple is built on the platform. For example, Tianzhong Mountain in Henan, which is "pile up earth and pile up stones", is "the mountain is not high". This ancient Yaowang Temple, which was first built in the second year of Yongchun in the Tang Dynasty (683 AD), has been rebuilt several times and has gone through more than 1,300 years. After the Ming Dynasty alone, there have been seven major repairs: in the 15th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the original earth temple accidentally caught fire, and the surrounding villagers raised funds to rebuild it. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, as the temple became more popular, the earthen buildings were demolished and a main hall with a brick and wood structure was built. This was the third expansion. In the reign of Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, the fourth renovation was carried out, which repaired the main hall and added the middle and rear halls. In the 14th year of the Republic of China, the temple caught fire again and burned the statues. Three years later, the fifth renovation was carried out, and the east and west side halls were built. In the 32nd year of the Republic of China, the sixth renovation was carried out with donations. All the statues were sculpted, and the bell and drum towers were built. In recent decades, especially after the Cultural Revolution, the buildings of the Medicine King Temple have been gradually destroyed, and even the original earth platform has been basically razed to the ground. Since the early 1990s, the temple platform has been rebuilt. In 2000, a new Fengshan Medicine King Ancient Temple appeared on the original site. The ancient temple was originally built to commemorate the Medicine King Sun Simiao. Later, with the evolution of history, it became a Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian temple that "integrates three religions". For thousands of years, every temple fair (from the 20th to the 28th of the fourth lunar month) is crowded with people from all directions. The long history and culture make the "Fengshan Yaowang Ancient Temple" unique. It integrates folk culture, medical culture, historical culture, and religious culture.
