Zhangpu Confucian Temple (simplified Chinese: 漳浦文庙; traditional Chinese: 漳浦文廟; pinyin: Zhāngpǔ Wénmiào) is a Confucian temple located in Zhangpu County, Fujian, China.[1]

## History

[edit]

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]

## Architecture

[edit]

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.[citation needed] It is 5 rooms wide, 5 rooms deep and covers an area of 4,900-square-metre (53,000 sq ft).
