Introduction to attractions of Wong Tai Sin Temple:

According to the Records of Jinhua Prefecture in the Wanli Period of Ming Dynasty, Wong Tai Sin was originally named Huang Chuping, a native of Lanxi, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, and was born in a poor family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 328). When he was 8 years old, he was herding sheep on Songchi Mountain in Jinhua, Zhejiang. 15 years old, when herding sheep up the mountain, I met a good relationship. See ChuPing mountain, took him to Jinhua Song Chishan lived for 40 years, finally become immortal.

Therefore, Wong Tai Sin takes "red pine nuts" as his nickname. Later, his brother Huang Chu got up to look for him. As soon as the two brothers met, they first asked, "Where's the sheep?" Chuping shouted at him: "Get up!" The white stone on the hillside immediately turned into a sheep. The couplet at the entrance of the temple of Wong Tai Sin in Guangzhou, "Mourn for a sheep to spread to the Jin Dynasty and ride a crane to the south", records the legendary story of Wong Tai Sin becoming immortal. In the rebuilt temple, the same couplet is hung in front of Wong Tai Sin Temple.

Taoism is a polytheism. Among many immortals, Wong Tai Sin is quite famous. At that time, Wong Tai Sin traveled around the world, saving lives and helping the poor, leaving many fairy tales. His merits and deeds are widely known and welcomed by the public, and people build temples to commemorate him.

Guangzhou Wong Tai Sin Temple was founded in the Year of the Sea of Qing Dynasty, namely 1899, and 1904 was rebuilt with donations from enthusiastic people from all walks of life. Although it was remote in those days, it was once one of the religious shrines in Guangzhou, and the incense was flourishing, which had a great influence on the urban area of Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta. 19 10 Although the temple was destroyed, the remains left by the old temple, such as stone couplets, embossed stone pillars, flat forehead, door ornaments, stone lions, etc. All of them are beautifully carved and decorated, so we can imagine the grand scale and exquisite architectural art of the temples in those days.

The Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong was founded in 192 1 year. Similarly, Wong Tai Sin is deeply believed and worshipped by people at home and abroad.

The two lions around Wong Tai Sin Temple are relics of the Qing Dynasty, from which we can observe many vicissitudes in the history of Wong Tai Sin Temple.

After the two corridors of Tianfu and Tianshou, along the stone steps, you can see the tall and majestic "Hongsong Wong Tai Sin Hall". The hall is18m high, which is an internal overhead building without columns. It is one of the highest overhead halls in Guangzhou at present. The statue of Wong Tai Sin in the main hall is made of bronze, with a height of 3.2 meters, a diameter of 2.5 meters and a weight of 3 tons. In folklore, Wong Tai Sin is always ready to help others, responsive and charitable, so he is very popular and loved by the people. The couplets on both sides of the hall are "scolding sheep to spread Jin, riding crane south."

The west of the main hall is the Lvzu Hall, and the east of the main hall is the Guanyin Hall. Guanyin statue is 2. 1 m high and weighs 2 tons. It is carved from a whole piece of white marble. China has formed the unity of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism since ancient times, which can be better reflected in temples. Lvzu Hall and Guanyin Hall are two-story buildings.

Guandi Temple and Doulao Temple are in the west. Guandi, whose real name is Yu, was born in 160. In the Three Kingdoms, he became sworn friends with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Taoyuan. Then, after five passes and six generals, he made great achievements. Guan Yu has always been revered by the court, the people and the believers of the three religions because of his loyalty and righteousness. Buddhism is regarded as the God of Galatia, cowardice as its warrior, and Taoism as the emperor of Guan Sheng. Every year, the 30th day of the fifth lunar month is the birthday of Guan Shengdi in Taoism.

Doom, also known as Doom and Doom, is the mother of the stars of the Big Dipper. She has a strange appearance and a Zhang Shanliang face. Legend has it that she has nine sons. Except the Jade Emperor and Wei Zibei's Great Emperor, the other seven are the Big Dipper. Because she is in charge of so many gods, every year, anyone who has committed a traditional life can resolve his sins after worshipping the old man.

The Temple of Wealth and the Temple of Confucius are on the east side. Zhao Gongming was from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. After attaining eternal life, the Jade Emperor named him the God of Wealth, in charge of the world's financial affairs. The god of wealth is the most popular among many gods. According to folk custom, the fifth day of the first month of each year is the day to receive the God of Wealth.

Confucius was honored as a saint and lived from 55 BC1year to 479 BC, with a history of more than 2,500 years. Confucius was born in Lu, a famous thinker, politician, educator and founder of Confucianism in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He has 3,000 disciples and 72 famous artists. Thus, Confucianism became the foundation of China's feudal education for more than 2,000 years. From the emperor down to the people, Confucius was regarded as the father of education and a teacher from generation to generation.

There are two other treasures in the temple: First, the plaques of the main hall of Wong Tai Sin, the Guanyin Hall and the Lvzu Hall were donated by the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, all of which were made of sleepers (ancient pine trees) of ancient shipyards of the Qin Dynasty unearthed from the Nanyue Imperial Garden site. As the saying goes, "Pine in a thousand years, cypress in ten thousand years", the ancient wooden plaque of Wong Tai Sin's ci has been hidden five meters underground for more than 2200 years, weighing 500 kilograms, and it is very well preserved. It is recognized as one of the oldest preserved ancient trees in the world and a very precious historical relic. The other is two small litchi trees planted on the branches of the original litchi trees in Zengcheng Gualv Garden in the East and West Gardens. These two Zengcheng Guaqing lychees are precious trees approved by the relevant government departments, and now they have grown to 1 meter high.
