Wang Ling-guan Shrine

Mar 3, 2021, 17:02 PM
Title : Wang Ling-guan Shrine
Building key : wang-ling-guan-shrine

Wang Ling-guan is the guardian deity in Taoist religion, whose duty is to guard the temple gate, conquer demons and protect the Taoism. In 2010, in order to further complete the traditional palace layout and the stately appearance of the temple, Sik Sik Yuen planned to build the Wang Ling-guan Shrine near the temple gate.

The shrine was completed in 2011. The statue of Wang Ling-guan adopts the bodiless lacquerware workmanship and is 2.6 meters tall, holding a golden whip in his hand and stepping on a turtle fish. The roof is yellow glazed tiles, decorated with dragon columns made of greenstone. And there is calligraphy of "Dao" inscribed by the Master of Chinese Culture Professor JAO Tsung-i.

Every year on June 23th of the lunar calendar is the "Birthday of Wang Ling-guan". On this day, the taoists in Sik Sik Yuen will hold a birthday ceremony to thank Wang Ling-guan for his guard of the temple.

In April 1942, guidance from Master Wong Tai Sin was received through divine writing. These Taoist priests were directed to erect a new temple in the area of Chuk Yuen in Kowloon City. The writings from the Master indicated “This place, a symbol of the wings of phoenix, is blessed and it is the most appropriate place to set up a temple to propagate religious doctrines.” They then inserted a bamboo stick on the ground as a sign and thus set up the main altar. At the beginning, the Main Altar, Confucian Hall, General Office, dormitory, main gate and the wells were built in the temple. The other buildings were constructed continually in the coming years. Its Taoist architecture reflects nothing less than the significance and teachings of Taoism. The buildings contain the five elements in Chinese Fengshui culture, where Bronze Pavilion represents “Metal”, Scripture Hall represents “Wood”, Yuk Yik Fountain represents “Water”, Yue Heung Pavilion represents “Fire” and Earth Wall represents “Earth”.
