　　The main attraction of Nanzhushan West Village is the Zengzi Temple. Located to the west of the village, on the sunny side of Nanzhushan Mountain, it is a temple dedicated to the worship of Zengzi. Initially called the Zhongxiao Shrine, the "Reconstruction of Wucheng Genealogy" from the third year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty records that “to the northwest of Nanzhucheng there was the Zhongxiao Shrine, originally built on the fifteenth day of the second month in the fifteenth year of King Kao of Zhou (425 BC).” Details of subsequent constructions are unknown. In the ninth year of the Zhengtong era of the Ming Dynasty (1444), Wenliang, the educational intendant of Jiaxiang, “petitioned for repairs due to the shrine’s dilapidated condition, and the imperial edict granted permission.” It was rebuilt the following year and named the Temple of the Duke of Zongsheng, and underwent multiple renovations afterward. After the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, it became known as the Temple of the Sage Zengzi. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the temple and the tomb of Zengzi were repeatedly renovated and maintained. In 2003, after a renovation funded by Mr. Zeng Xianzi, it was completely revitalized. The Zengzi Temple is a group of ancient official-style buildings in the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. Facing south and situated on a north-south axis, it covers an area of 29,808 square meters. The layout is divided into left, middle, and right sections, with a total of five courtyards front to back. The main building, the Zongsheng Hall, is located in the middle section of the central axis. There are over 30 structures including halls, side halls, chambers, and pavilions, totaling more than 80 rooms. The temple also preserves 350 ancient cypresses and over 20 stone tablets from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was designated as a second batch provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit in 1992, and as a sixth batch national key cultural relics protection unit in 2006.
