Zigong Huanhou Gong, Chinese temple complex in Zigong, China

The Zigong Huanhou Gong is a temple complex in Zigong featuring traditional Chinese architecture with regional Sichuan design characteristics. The structure spans multiple interconnected courtyards and halls, with each section serving different religious and social functions throughout the complex.

The guild hall was built by Zigong's butchers' guild in the Qianlong reign, as recorded in the stele text on its reconstruction. It was burned in 1860 by the rebel army of Li Yonghe; a first rebuilding from 1865 stalled for lack of funds. In 1872 Yu Guo'an and others raised money by levying two hundred cash on every pig slaughtered, and the work was finished in 1875.

The name Huanhou comes from Zhang Fei's posthumous title, and because Zhang Fei was a butcher before becoming a general, the Butchers' Guild venerated him as its founding ancestor. Locals also called the hall Zhang Wang Miao or Zhang Ye Miao. Today the former guild hall houses an antiques shop, a Chinese painting academy, a hard-pen calligraphy association and the Ziliujing District cultural centre.

The compound sits on a slope at the Zhonghua Road junction, rising 11.7 m from gate to main hall, so expect stairs; the steps bend at an angle and narrow as they climb. Entry is free. The site now houses antique shops, a painting academy and the Ziliujing district cultural centre, so rooms are in mixed use.

The complex holds a special connection to butcher guilds who held their own ceremonies and honored their trade here. This connection makes the site a rare testament to how specialized craftspeople formed their own communities in ancient Chinese society.
