Zhang Zai Temple

　　Zhang Zai Temple is situated in Hengqu Village, Hengqu Township, Meixian County, Baoji. Also called Zhangzi Temple, it served as the teaching site of Zhang Zai, the famous Northern Song Dynasty thinker, philosopher, educator, and founder of the “Guan School.” It is a provincial-level key cultural relic protection unit.

　　The temple faces south with a north orientation and features a symmetrical layout along a central axis. Originally built during the Yuan Dynasty, it was renovated during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the existing structures mainly dating back to the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty. Current buildings include the Offering Hall, east and west wing rooms, the mountain gate, the rear hall, and the schoolhouse. The rear hall and schoolhouse were demolished and rebuilt after collapsing. The renowned Hengqu Academy of the Qing Dynasty was once located here. Cultural relics in the temple include an imperial plaque bestowed by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, eight stone tablets from the Ming Wanli and Qing Qianlong eras documenting renovations and visits to the temple, and the original woodblock print of the "18th Generation Descendant’s Memorial Tablet" from Volume Six of the Hengqu Annals.
