Zhangpu Confucian Temple is a Confucian temple located in Zhangpu County, Fujian, China.[1]
Zhangpu Confucian Temple was first built in 1070 during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song dynasty (960 - 1279), and went through many changes and repairs through the following dynasties. Now the existing Dacheng Hall was built in 1369 at the dawn of the Ming dynasty (1368 - 1644).
In 2006, it was listed among the sixth batch of "Major National Historical and Cultural Sites in Fujian" by the State Council of China.[2]
The Dacheng Hall faces the south. The hall in it has double-eave gable and hip roofs covered with yellow glazed tiles, which symbolize a high level in architecture. It is 5 rooms wide, 5 rooms deep and covers an area of 4900m2.
