Zishou Temple, Buddhist temple in Lingshi County, China.

Zishou Temple stands in Suxi Village, Jingsheng Town, Lingshi County, Shanxi. The compound faces south and measures 400 metres north to south by 300 metres east to west, divided into two courtyards. The front courtyard lines up the mountain gate, ceremonial gate, Vajra Hall and Heavenly Kings Hall on the central axis, with bell and drum towers and side halls; the rear courtyard centres on the Mahavira Hall, ringed by the Amitabha, Medicine, Ksitigarbha, Erlang, Maitreya and Three Great Beings halls.

The temple developed over multiple centuries with additions and renovations reflecting various Chinese dynasties and building styles. This layering of construction periods shows how religious practice sustained itself across different historical eras in the Lingshi region.

The temple's name, Zishou, means "endowed longevity." Its halls hold over a hundred painted clay sculptures and 248.34 square metres of murals, among them the figures of the Ten Kings of Hell and the arhats in the main hall. The sculptures and wall paintings are the reason the compound was listed as a national heritage site in 2001.

The compound is entered from the south, where the gate and ceremonial gate stand on the central axis; the halls line up northward in two courtyards, so a single walk from front to back covers the whole site. The grounds measure 400 m north-south and 300 m east-west, so allow time for the length of the axis.

The rear courtyard centres on the Mahavira Hall, flanked by halls for Amitabha, Bhaisajyaguru, Ksitigarbha, Erlang, Maitreya and the Three Great Beings. Across the halls are 248.34 square metres of murals and about a hundred painted clay sculptures, a body of work visitors often pass without counting.
