'''Zhànshān sì 湛山寺''' is a temple built in Qīngdǎo [[青島]] in the 1930s.

==History==
This temple was the idea of Yè Gōngchuò [[葉恭綽]] and Chén Fēiqīng 陳飛青 who, while summering in Qīngdǎo [[青島]], realized that although there were many churches in the area, there were no Buddhist temples. These two pooled their financial and political resources to build this temple. Work on the temple was begun before [[1931]] but was not completed for ten years.

In [[1934]], well before the temple opened, Yè and Chén invited Tánxū [[倓虛]] to establish the Zhànshān Temple Buddhist Seminary [[湛山寺佛學院]]. This Seminary thus predated the formal opening of the temple. Tánxū became the first abbot of the temple, and he brought the Tiāntái 天臺 lineage he had received under Dìxián [[諦閑]] at Guānzōng Temple [[觀宗寺]] to both the Seminary and the Temple.

The temple was closed during the Cultural Revolution, but reopened on June 6, 1988 under the abbotship of Míngzhé [[明哲]]
