   Zisheng Temple (Second Batch Provincial-Level Protected Site)

   Era: Song Dynasty

   Address: Dazhouzuan Village, 20 km southwest of Gao Ping City

   The founding date is unknown, but it already existed during the Song Dynasty. It was renovated in the first year of the Zhengde era of the Ming Dynasty (1506).

   The temple faces south and is located in the center of the village. It has an ancient, lush charm, with majestic halls. The existing structures include the mountain gate, central hall, rear hall, and east and west side halls. The central hall is a relic from the Song Dynasty, featuring a three-bay width, six-rafter depth, a single-eave hip-and-gable roof, gentle roof pitch, far-reaching eaves, bracket sets arranged in a layered fashion, and complex dougong (bracket arm) structures. The walls use layered bricks, displaying typical Song Dynasty architectural features. The side halls also retain many Ming Dynasty elements.

   There are seven stone steles stored in the temple, including two from the Yuan Dynasty featuring Buddha statues.

Zisheng Temple in Gao Ping is a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
