It turns out that "Hong Kong Wong Tai Sin" originated from "Guangzhou Wong Tai Sin"

It is said that the history of Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong (also known as Wong Tai Sin Temple) can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, while the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Guangzhou was earlier and was built in the Northern Song Dynasty around 970 AD. However, the relationship between the two temples is not a simple inheritance relationship, but there are both connections and differences. According to legend, Huang, a Taoist priest in Huanggang County (now shaxi town, Guangdong Province) in the Ming Dynasty, is famous in Taoism. Born in the Tang Dynasty, he began to practice very early and made great achievements, so he was called "Wong Tai Sin". During the reign of Emperor Chengzu (Judy) of the Ming Dynasty, he went to Guangzhou to preach and set up a memorial tablet, and founded the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Guangzhou, which became a holy place for local beliefs. With the social unrest in the late Ming Dynasty, a large number of Guangdong immigrants began to move to Hong Kong, and the opening of Hong Kong attracted many foreigners, so Tin Hau Temple and Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong became one of the belief centers of immigrants. At that time, the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong mainly set up a temporary incense stand in the Peak Village in the north point of Hong Kong Island. Later, due to the rapid increase of believers, it was convenient for 19 18 to build a larger Wong Tai Sin Temple on San Po Kong Road in Kowloon, becoming one of the famous temples in Hong Kong. Generally speaking, "Hong Kong Wong Tai Sin Temple" and "Guangzhou Wong Tai Sin Temple" have similar historical origin and belief connotation, but they are different in temple scale, architectural style, traditional customs and so on, and their management and operation are also independent and have their own characteristics.
