The statue of the God of Wealth in the Zhaogong God of Wealth Ancestral Temple is also known as the Golden-faced God of Wealth. Due to its unique shape, it is recognized as a representative statue of the God of Wealth culture.

The statue of the God of Wealth in the Zhaogong Ancestral Temple originated from the historical heritage of Zhaogong Mountain. After the "512" earthquake in 2008, a picture book of the statue of the God of Wealth was unearthed when the old temple site was excavated and sorted out on Zhaogong Mountain. The statue in the God of Wealth Hall was re-sculpted based on this picture book.

The statue of the God of Wealth in Zhaogong Temple is characterized by a golden face, wearing a civil and military robe, holding a 24-section golden whip, and stepping on a tiger. This is a statue of the God of Wealth based on the cultural background of ancient Shu and Taoism, with the folk God of Wealth Jinlun Ruyi Zhengyi Longhu Xuantan Zhenjun as the main theme.

The armor inside and the Taoist robe outside reflect the fact that the God of Wealth was born as a military commander and the founder of Taoism; stepping on a tiger means getting wealth; holding a golden whip with 24 sections in his hand, corresponding to the 24 festivals of spring, summer, autumn and winter, implies that Taoism follows nature. The 24-section golden whip also hides the immortal's words that Taoism flourished from the 24 reigns.

Spreading the incense of the God of Wealth and believing in the right way are the important responsibilities of the ancestral temple of the God of Wealth. Since the temple was built in the Jin Dynasty, countless temples and believers have taken the golden statue of the God of Wealth back from the ancestral temple of the God of Wealth to worship and pass on the incense. Therefore, there is a saying that "all the temples of the God of Wealth in the world originated from Zhaogong Mountain (Feishongtai)".
