Zhangpu Confucian Temple, Confucian temple in Zhangpu County, China.

Zhangpu Confucian Temple stands in Hougou Lane, Zhangpu County, Fujian. Only the Dacheng Hall survives: a five-bay by five-bay wooden structure of 460 square metres, with a double-eave gable-and-hip roof, a front corridor, and six-puzuo bracket sets with single-step and double-lowered arms.

This structure was built in 1369 at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when Confucianism played a central role in Chinese education. Over the following centuries, it was rebuilt and repaired multiple times while keeping its purpose as a place of learning.

The temple is the site of the 1937 "Zhangpu Incident", one of the events linked to this building in local memory. Its name, Zhangpu Wenmiao, marks it as the county's Confucian temple, and the surviving Dacheng Hall is the focus of visits today. The hall's yellow glazed tiles signal a high architectural rank.

The temple stands in Hougou Lane (后沟巷) inside Zhangpu County town, in Fujian's south. Only the Dacheng Hall survives, so the visit is short and focused on one building. Look at the front eave and its bracket sets, which use a six-puzuo, single-tiao, double-lower-ang form with false angs.

Only the Dacheng Hall survives today; the rest of the temple complex is gone. The hall is one of the sites of the 1937 "Zhangpu Incident", a clash between local forces and Nationalist troops. Its bracket sets are six-puzuo with a single cap and double false angled arms.
