Gansu Yuanchenghuang Temple.

The Luochuan Township in Zhengning County, Gansu is now very desolate, and it is the old county seat. The original Chenghuang Temple gate preserved the iron flagpole cast in the 26th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1846), with a height of 11m. It was the first person in Zhengning County, Qingyang Prefecture, Gansu in the Qing Dynasty, Peng Bixiao, Zhao Yuanli, etc., dedicated to Luochuan Chenghuang Temple. The inscription contains the craftsman "Fuxing Furnace Gold Fire Craftsman Li Fukai" and others in Fuping County, Shaanxi. The flagpole is thin and thick, with double dragons flying on the upper part, and the bottom is inserted in the back and abdomen of the iron lion, and the two iron lions have round eyes. There is a iron crane at the top of the iron flagpole, each carrying the "sun and moon", and one side is written with two characters. There is a small plaque under the iron crane, which reads "Seven Kingdoms Defense" and "Ten Thousand Nations Screen". There are two square buckets under the flag, and small iron flags are erected at the four corners of the square bucket, and small wind chimes are hung under the square bucket. According to records, Zhongnanshan in the Qing Dynasty was the iron production base in Guanzhong, so the gold and fire industries in Fuping, Tongzhou (Dali County) and other places were very developed. The gold and fire craftsmen not only served locally, but also often crossed provinces to work. This iron flagpole in Zhengning County, Gansu is an example.
