Doudaifuci, National cultural heritage site in Jiancaoping District, China.

Doudaifuci is a protected temple complex featuring traditional Chinese architecture and fine stone carvings throughout its buildings. The site consists of multiple structures with detailed work in arches, roofs, and decorative elements characteristic of this building style.

The shrine honours Dou Chou, a minister of the Jin state in the Spring and Autumn period; its founding date is unknown, but Li Pin's Tang poem mentions viewing his statue, proving it existed by then. In June 1085 flooding of the Fen River forced a move north and rebuilding. The gate, offering hall and main hall were rebuilt in 1343 (Yuan Zhizheng 3rd year), retaining Song and Jin architectural features.

The temple honours Dou Chou, a minister of the Jin state in the Spring and Autumn period, and his seated statue stands in the main hall. Beside the site is the tomb of Zhao Daiwen, a former chairman of the Shanxi provincial government. Near the dried spring, a stele bears the characters "Lingquan" (spirit spring), written by Emperor Huizong of Song in 1102; a Qing-dynasty stone carving of the same name dates from the Daoguang reign.

The site is accessible during daylight hours and visitors can explore the various buildings and areas on their own or join guided tours. Comfortable shoes are recommended as moving through multiple structures involves stairs and uneven surfaces.

The spring beside the shrine, the Lieshi cold spring, was inscribed "Lingquan" (spiritual spring) by Emperor Huizong of Song in 1102; a stone carving of the same two characters was cut in the Daoguang era of the Qing. The spring has since dried up, though the Lieshi cliff remains.
