Speaking of the name "Zhang Sanfeng", its origin is related to Baoji. According to Wang Xiling's Biography of Mr. Sanfeng in Qing Dynasty, one day, Zhang Sanfeng stood by Jintai Temple and looked south against the railing. He saw the Jifeng Mountain on the opposite side, standing tall and straight, and the three sharp peaks stood upright and moist, straight into the sky, beautiful and lovely.

Just then, someone nearby asked his name, and he pointed to the three peaks of Jifeng Mountain on the other side of Weihe River and said that he was the "three peaks". In this way, people called him "Sanfeng Jushi".

Later, he felt that the name "Sanfeng" was somewhat indecent, and he was worried that it would be related to "Sanfeng mining tactics" and his reputation would be damaged. However, if he changes, he must inform everyone. Suddenly I thought of the gossip of "Zeng Sanlian, Kun Six Broken", so I erected a noble and upright spirit from Kun's soil to make up for it, and changed its name from now on. This is the origin of the name "Zhang Sanfeng".

Jintai Temple is famous for Zhang Sanfeng's monasticism here.
