The famous Zhang Gong Sheng Jun aka Fazhugong’s Mother Temple is located at Mount Shiniu of Dehua County. The cave approximately 1700 meters above sea level at Mount Shiniu also known as Shihudong. A folk tale is saying that the cave housed five ghosts in the past and finally being captured by Fazhugong and his two brothers. This deity with unkempt long hair and one hand carrying a sword but the other hand entangle with a snake.
Shihudong’s air is fresh throughout the year. When you stand outside the cave and appreciate the beauty of large clouds, you would feel like the heaven on earth and comfort. During the temple celebration, many devotees come from China and Taiwan as well as Malaysia. They will wake up as early as possible and walk up to the cave so that to catch the sunrise outside Shihudong.
The auspicious day one during the annual thanksgiving day, after our taoist priest beats a drum and follow by burning the crackle of gunfire hopes that all things go lucky to prosper. The ceremony begins with our taoist priests call for the invitation of various gods to officiate the event. During the process, we have overheard that someone has spotted deep cloud form into layer very similar to a palace and very amazing. The temple management has also invited a famous puppet show troupe from Dehua County to present the splendid plays. During noon time, the temple workers carry with them bundles of lunch pack from the canteen to the cave. When I look at each one of them with full of perspiration, I feel that they are great and highly commendable. After lunch, we proceed with our finale of the day with petition to the hall of jade. The ceremony last approximately one-and-a-half hours, and I am certainly impressed to see each devotee's kneeling with mouth also mumbles for good deed. The day celebration ended with happiness and everlasting friendship.
