Zhusheng Temple, Buddhist temple at Mount Jizu's foot in Binchuan County, China.

Zhusheng Temple stands on the east slope of Mount Jizu below Boyu Peak, 2.5 km from the Lingshan Yihui archway, and is the largest monastery on the mountain. Its 13,350 m² grounds follow a west-to-east axis: marble gatehouse, screen wall, semicircular release-life pond with the Zhenbao Pavilion, Four Heavenly Kings Hall, Mahavira Hall on a 2.1 m platform, and the sutra library. Covered corridors link the main halls.

Founded in the Jiajing era (1522–1566) of the Ming dynasty as Boyu'an, it was renamed Yingxiang Temple by the Chongzhen years and rebuilt by the monk Zhouding in 1634. After decline, Hsu Yun took over the ruined temple in 1904 and rebuilt it; the Guangxu Emperor granted the name Huguo Zhusheng Chan Temple. The temple was repaired in 1952, 1963 and 1980.

The main worship hall displays statues of Sakyamuni, Ananda, and Kassapa Buddha, with inner walls depicting five hundred arhats in different poses and gestures. This visual richness reflects how followers of Buddhism understand and honor different spiritual figures through art.

Zhusheng Temple lies on the east slope of Mount Jizu below Boyu Peak, about 2.5 km from the Lingshan Yihui archway, and is the largest monastery on the mountain. The grounds cover 13,350 square metres, with the gate, screen wall, release pond, Heavenly Kings Hall, Mahavira Hall and scripture library on one west-to-east axis linked by covered corridors. The halls stand on terraces and stepped platforms, so allow time for stairs.

The three plaques hang under the eaves of the Mahavira Hall, not on its roof edges: Sun Yat-sen wrote "Yinguang Yanran", Liang Qichao "Lingyue Chonghui", and Zhao Puchu "Mahavira Hall". Hsu Yun obtained the Sun and Liang inscriptions in Nanjing in 1913, the year after he talked the divisional commander Li Genyuan out of destroying the mountain's temples.
