This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Legend: Liyumen Tian Hou spirituality and the Pirate Treasure Lei Yue Mun is located to the east of Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. The entrance to Victoria Harbour is an important military fortress and the main channel of Hong Kong. The land on both sides of the strait has not been reclaimed, it still maintains its natural habitat. The "Carp Night Moon" was once hailed as one of the "eight scenic spots in Hong Kong". Liyumen was named Yanjiangkou in the ancient times. It was probably the village consisting of the three surnames Wen, Liu and Chen, also known as Sanjia Village, it was also said that it was Zhang, Liu and Lian. The map of Hong Kong in the Ming Dynasty's "Yue Da Ji" already contains Liyumen (Strait), which has its name. It is said that the sea surface is like Liyukou, the Strait is the gate. According to legend, after the carp jumped over the Lei Yue Men, it was transformed into a fish tail stone in Haixin Temple, Kowloon, To Kwa Wan, which is said to be part of the carp. Although Lei Yue Men is related to fish and the sea,it is not a fishing village. In 1661, Ming Cheng's survivor Zheng Chenggong retreated to Taiwan, his subordinates Zheng Jian could not catch up with them. In the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1684), the Qing government sealed Lin Mo Niang as "Tian Hou". In 1753, in the spring of the 18th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government set up the Tian Hou Temple behind the Mahuan Village of Liyumen in the Kowloon Peninsula to collect information to pursue Zheng Chenggong's subordinate Zheng Jian. After Zheng Jian's death, his second son, Zheng Lianchang, occupied the Liyumen Mountains , known as the "Devil's Mountain" and later known as the Devil's Mountain. Another said that the Temple was built by Zheng Lianchang. According to rumors, Tian Hou advised Zheng Lianchangnot to kill and robbery again. After he awoke, he immediately built a temple in Liyumen to worship Tian Hou. Zheng Lianchang died in 1775. His eldest son, Zheng Yi, was hopeless and turned into a pirate. Fisherman Zhang Bao joined Zheng Yi and became his adopted son. In 1807, when Zheng Yi died, Zhang Bao left Lei Yue Mun and became the king of pirates in Hong Kong. After the pirates left, the residents of Liyumen made a living by mining granite and stone. After the stone was processed, they were carried by boat for export, as far as the Netherlands. Guangzhou Shishi Sacred Heart Cathedral, Legislative Council Building, HSBC's first-generation old building, stone pillars, etc., are all built of stone mined in Liyumen. A small trail in front of Tian Hou Temple in Lei Yue Men has an old quarry (1900) boundary stone D23. The land on the right side of boundary stone belongs to Kowloon. Residents do not have the right of Indigenous people. The left side of boundary stone belongs to the New Territories and the residents have the right of Indigenous people. On December 8, 1941, the Japanese army invaded Hong Kong, on December 12, the drunk bay defense line was breached. The British army withdrew at Lei Yue Mun on December 13 and retreated to Hong Kong Island. The Lei Yue Men Strait was the main battlefield of the British-Japanese Hong Kong Island Defence War. The two sides broke out at the Lei Yue Men Landing War. The Japanese army landed only after suffering heavy losses. A large number of residents of Lei Yue Men have returned to their hometowns, leaving only about 50 people remaining. After the war, the residents returned to Lei Yue Men, experiencing the scourge of war, waiting to be rebuild. Tin Hau Temple, located on the seashore, is now called the Temple of Tin Hau of the Throne. It was severely damaged during the war needs to be repaired otherwise there is a danger of collapse. At 6 pm on January 5, 1953, a fishing boat was sunk by the strong winds at Lei Yue Men. All 19 people on the boat fell to the sea. Four girls were drowned and two were injured. On February 7th, the Delia, a Norwegian flag, was stranded near Donglong Island outside Liyumen, no injuries were reported. On April 19, the fishing boat No. T5071H was sunk by a giant wave near Lei Yue Men. All eight people on the ship fell to the sea and were rescued by nearby ships without injuries. Three shipwrecks occurred within four months. It was reported that the accident was related to the disrepair of Tian Hou Palace. In April 1953, Temple Caregiver Liu Huoyu dream of Tian Hou every night. Tian Hou told him that Temple was in disrepair for a long time, the seat was leaking. The temple was about to collapse and need to repair immediately. Otherwise, Tian Hou would lose a palace, instruct Liu Huoyu to call people to raise funds to repair. Liu Huoyu said to Tian Hou that he was quiet and powerless. Tian Hou told Liu Huoyu that she would spirituality at noon on the fifth day of April, 1953,As long as the reporter was notified of the interview, someone would donate money. Liu Huoyu asked the head of the township Luo Ping to discuss the preparations for construction. Luo Ping said that it was only a one-sided story from Liu Huoyu. Unless Tian Hou spirituality, he would not believe it. Regarding the spirituality of Tian Hou, a piece of stone in the Tian Hou Temple was sent by Liu Huoyu to Tian Hou. The inscription is as follows: "Hometown leader Luo Ping said that if there is spirituality, it can be photographed. Later, at noon on the fifth day of April, it turned out that a strange cloud appeared in the air. Luo Ping heard it and believed it, he pay fifty HKdollars asked a photographer to take a picture. Tian Hou said that , it would only be effective if she asked for it. Tian Hou also asked the journalist Xiao Yunzheng to do. When he returned from ShekO, the boat returned to Chaguoling, Tian Hou asked him to come to take film. He had two children, a worker. When Xiao Yunzheng arrived at the shore, he came to run. When he reached the temple, he went up to three stone levels, and then shot to the sky. His camera was very fast. After he took nine photos, he could successfully make one. On April 7th, he handed the photo. Luo Ping looked very happy. The photographer showed more joy, Donate 300 HKdollars immediately to build the temple. " After the spirituality of tTian Hou, Liyumen Association took care of the meeting, Luo Ping and Zhang Yurong initiated the reconstruction. The cost of the project is more than 10,000 HKdollars, the crowds are willing to help with more than 8,000 HKdollars. The remaining shortfalls are made up by Liyumen Association. Reconstruction took several months to complete. The temple on the left is Xietian Palace, the right is Tian Hou Palace. On September 6, 1953, the temple was opened. The picture of Tian Hou spirituality is now set on this monument in the temple. Liyumen Tian Hou spirituality, Xiao Yunzheng was the key figure. He is a photographer chosen by Tian Hou, it is rumored that he is reporter of "Kung Shung Daily", only he can take pictures of Tian Hou in the sky. This photo confirms that Tian Hou was spirituality, then it was successfully funded to rebuild the Temple. Xiao Yunzheng donated 300 HKdollars, not a small amount. Xiao Yunzheng has died, there is not much information about him. It is certain that he is not just a journalist. From 1959 to 1960, he rented 70,000 square feet of private land in Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon, imported 112 species of beasts, 120 species of birds, 140 species of snakes from all over the world. The purpose was to apply to the Hong Kong government to establish a world-class zoo. He submitted to the Hong Kong Government's "Hong Kong Zoo Report" with the proof that Xiao Yunzheng had a deposit of 400,000 HKdollars at Zhaotai Bank. When repairing the Tian Hou Temple, a rectangular granite stele was found in the grotto behind the temple. The monument is three and a half inches thick, one and a half inches tall and five and a half inches wide. Regarding the process of discovering the stele, Xiao Yunzheng described it as follows: "There is a sign of collapse in the Tian Hou Temple of Liyumen. Mr. Luo Ping, the owner of the tea room in the village Yuquan, summoned relatives and friends and built it with money. (1953) In early July, Mr. Luo Ping was in the temple. Inside the cave behind the seat of the god, a stone monument was found. The inscription on the monument reads: "Tian Hou Palace Zheng Lianchang builded Temple, the descendants of the Qianlong Emperor in the 18th year of spring standing." However, historians question the credibility of the stele. They believe that the ancient temples in Hong Kong rarely erected a monument at the beginning of the construction of the temple, the inscriptions are generally inlaid on the walls, rather than a separate piece. A line of Zheng Lianchang Temple was engraved in the center of the stele, with different font sizes. Zheng Lianchang was chased by the Qing governmentat the time. The stone tablet was engraved with his own name, and he said, "The future generations will manage the industry." Isn't this to disclose his identity? If this monument had been built when the temple was built, why hasn't anyone found it in the past? In addition to the Qing government and Zheng Lianchang, there are many legends about the source of the Tian Hou Palace. The earliest one was when a pregnant woman noticed that a spiral boulder on the seashore was teetering. She picked up two boulder and placed it under the boulder to stabilize the boulder. Later, it was found that there was a hole in the boulder, she placed a statue of Tian Hou in the small hole to become the Tian Hou Palace. The current Tian Hou Temple is built in front of the cave. There is a grotto behind the statue of Tian Hou. The cave is very small, and a semi-circular platform with a diameter of about two feet has a statue of Tian Hou. After the Tian Hou Temple was rebuilt, Xiao Yunzheng invited scholars to write on the stone next to the temple. "Zeliu Hailai" comes from the famous calligrapher Qu Jiangong. Xiao Yunzhang himself is an excellent sculptor. He wrote the words "Smoke in the South of the River". Behind the temple, "The sound of Cape" is written by Chen Ben, the principal of TaiPo HonMan Government School. Other letterings include: "Sea and sky", "Stone view", "hill and river", "Live in peace". Xiao Yunzheng once wrote the article "Treasures of Liyumen". According to legend, Zheng Lianchang collected treasures between Liyumen and Chaguoling Mountain. The position is hidden in the poem: "The three-pronged ditch, the carp is eight feet high, the yellow sand is gold, and the ancestral events can be rebuilt." It is said that the secret cave of Demon Mountain behind Tianhou Palace is where the treasure of Zheng Lianchang lies. Tian Hou Palace has been ransacked many times. Whether it is related to this treasure has yet to be verified. The cultural relics in the temple have been damaged. Only the gates of the "Tian Hou Temple", the plaques, stone steles and ancient bells of the "Temple of Tian Hou" exist. Liyumen Tian Hou Palace has undergone three rebuildings. The first was in 1953, mainly to expand the scope of the temple, the second was in 1986, and the third was in 2012. The main project was to open a Taisui Hall in the temple. There are a pair of ancient cannons in front of Tian Hou Temple opposite the Lei Yue Mun Fort in Shau Kei Wan. It is now a landmark of Lei Yue Mun and is listed as a Grade III historical building in Hong Kong.

Download or read book Above The City written by Alicia M. Kershaw and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Above the City: Hiking Hong Kong Island is a unique comprehensive guide to walks and hikes on Hong Kong Island. Many Hong Kong residents and visitors enjoy a few famous hikes, but then are at a loss to find more routes. Above the City takes the walking enthusiast beyond the well-trodden paths and explores all the walks available on Hong Kong Island. Walkers can find outings to suit their every mood, and variations on well-known and well-loved walks. Every walking route on the Island is described in detail, including distance and difficulty ratings. The hikes are organized around “hubs,” allowing easy identification. They also are indexed by special interests, such as routes that can be run, that are suitable for families, or the most scenic. Directions to the walks by public transportation and by car are provided, and local amenities, such as rest stops, restaurants and local historical sites are listed. Local residents who are seeking more walking choices, walking groups, or visitors to Hong Kong will find Above the City an invaluable hiking companion. “Can beguiling, solitary hiking trails exist just kilometres from Hong Kong’s crowded streets? Or wild summit panoramas beckon ‘above the city’? Alicia Kershaw and Ginger Thrash know they do. With ample practical hints, and obvious delight in hiking, the authors guide us along the many wonderful trails on Hong Kong Island. Knowing the joys of hiking—and how steep Hong Kong hills can seem!—they encourage us to put on our hiking boots.” —Edward Stokes, Hongkong Conservation Photography Foundation “Even more helpful for residents than for visitors, Above the City offers clear, concise directions to places seemingly out-of-the-way, yet close to the city. Practical, helpful details, such as bus routes, points of access and places to eat or relax, are interspersed with out-of-the-ordinary elements of local history and ecology, all engagingly brought together in a chatty, enthusiastic style. Above the City should be an essential companion for any walk across ‘over-crowded’ Hong Kong Island’s beautiful open spaces.” —Jason Wordie, Hong Kong historian and author
