Tiansheng Temple in Fanshi is a cultural relic protection unit of Fanshi County.

Tiansheng Temple is located in Fulianfang Village, Xiaruyue Township, Fanshi County. It faces south and measures 37.3 meters in length from north to south and 16.3 meters in width from east to west, covering an area of 708 square meters. According to inscriptions, it was first built in the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty's Zhizheng era (1348), renovated in the 24th year of the Qing Dynasty's Jiaqing era (1819), and the existing structures date back to the Qing Dynasty. The temple has a two-courtyard layout, with the Maitreya Hall and the Mahavira Hall built along the central axis in sequence; the rest were newly constructed in recent years. The Mahavira Hall features a front terrace with a stone-paved base, 0.8 meters in height. The hall is three bays wide and five rafters deep, with a six-rafter front-veranda structure, a single-eave gable-and-hip roof, bracket sets, and no hip-knobs. There are two stone steles on the premises: one from the Ming Dynasty and one from the Qing Dynasty recording renovations. On April 15, 1985, it was designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit by the Fanshi County People's Government.
