True Life Story. How a Filial Teen Became a Taoist God -Hong San See Temple

True Life Story. How a Filial Teen Became a Taoist God -Hong San See Temple

Overview

Uncover the life story of this teen and discover the Chinese Taoism core values of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

Have you ever walked past an old temple and wondered whose hands built it, and why? Join us at Hong San See Temple where we follow in the footsteps of our forefathers who crossed the South China seas to build new lives in Nanyang, bringing with them a thousand-year-old faith and set of timeless Chinese Taoist values.

Our guide, a Chinese history and culture buff, centres the experience on this 190-year-old temple that earned Singapore's highest UNESCO Cultural Heritage honour for a building. Over a 45-minute kaya toast breakfast, we unpack the great land migration from Henan thousands of miles to Fujian in China, and over thousands of miles across the seas to Singapore, how Taoism evolved from philosophy to religion, and the true story of Guo Zhong Fu, the late Tang dynasty teen deified as the Lord of Filial Piety — before we move on to marvel at the physical artistic architecture.
