Hui Ze Zun Wang aka Duke Hui Ze (惠澤尊王) or Guang De Hou aka Lord Guang De (廣德侯), actual name known as Ye Sen (葉森).
Hui Ze Zun Wang was Born in Southern Song Dynasty AD 1189, Chun Xi Period (生於南宋淳熙年間). According to Records, the Birthday was on 10th Day of Lunar 12 Month (誕辰為農曆十二月初十) and Hometown in China Hokkien Province, Nan An City, Gao Tian Area (祖籍為中國福建省南安市高田人).
Father of Hui Ze Zun Wang was Ye Ting Xian (葉廷显) and Mother known
as Madam Chen (葉門陳氏). After Hui Ze Zun Wang was born, few years later, his Parent gave birth to another younger brother, name known as Ye San Fu (葉三復).
According to the Records in the Ancestral Temple in Nan An City, on the Day of Hui Ze Zun Wang's borning, Spiritual & Extraordinary scenes were seen around the House and also the whole Nan An City.
In the Night before the his Born, a Bright Ray was discovered shining above the House of Hui Ze Zun Wang, besides that, a Strong sense of Fragrance Aroma was being found spreading from the House to the Streets.
Soon after Hui Ze Zun Wang was born, a Light Purple Ray shined into the Sky from the Room of where Madam Chen gave birth.
AD 1201, at the age of 13, Hui Ze Zun Wang was able to recite & compose Poems, Articles & Reviews. By the age of 20, he was able to challenge people with his own Talent & Skills.
Even though Hui Ze Zun Wang was brought up in a Scholarly family, but due to his over-activateness, when he reached 21 years old, he decided to learn a few sets of Martial Arts to protect himself, the Family and also, hoping to serve his Nation when War started.
Few years later, Hui Ze Zun Wang was well-equipped with Martial Skills and so, he decided to serve his Nation by defeating the Rebellious Invaders.
Around AD 1221 - 1223, Hui Ze Zun Wang defeated the Invaders and was being Officially rewarded by the Song Emperor.
Soon after Hui Ze Zun Wang got his Official Title, Southern Song Dynasty entered into a Chaotic Period where the Jin Empire (金朝) Invaded China and trying to over-thrown the Song Emperor.
According to some Records, in AD 1245, at the age of 57, while Hui Ze Zun Wang was protecting the Emperor from getting hurt by the Jin Troops, he sacrificed himself. And due to his Loyalty and Uprightness, after his Pass-on, Song Emperor bestowed him with an Official Title of Guang De Hou (广德侯).
After Jin Empire was defeated in the Ming Dynasty, Temples dedicating to All the Heros & Lords of Southern Song Dynasty were built, one of them was the Ancestral Temple that dedicated to Hui Ze Zun Wang.
The Main Temple is still being well-kept and look after by the Nan An Clan in China Hokkien Province.
Features of Hui Ze Zun Wang (惠澤尊王特徵):
1) Red or Black Face with Poppy-eyes (赤/黑面,雙凸眼)
2) 1 Hand holding onto the Robe's Upper-belt and 1 Hand placing on the Left-kneel (右手托戴,左手扶膝)
3) Both Legs stepping on 2 Leg-rests of the Arm-chair (雙足踏座底)
Due to the Features that being used to make the Statue are quite similar to Guang Ze Zun Wang (廣澤尊王), this is the main reason that alot of People tend to mistaken Hui Ze Zun Wang and Guang Ze Zun Wang.
Besides that, Guang Ze Zun Wang also being known as Bao An Hui Ze Zun Wang (保安惠澤尊王), so this add on to the confusion of the People.

ReplyDeletethank for the bao gao . i do have some pics of him. heard that he and guang ze zun wang is brother.
ReplyDeleteThey are from different Period and they does not stay in the same Town (even though in Same City), so the Brother-issue is just a Myth and Man-made story.
ReplyDeletemay i know why a lot of god being feng as 侯
ReplyDeleteHou is also known as Duke or Lord, a form of Official Title used to bestowed on Generals or Marshals in-order to show the Gratitude of the Emperors.
ReplyDeleteOnce a Person is being Bestowed as Hou, not only the Salary will be increase, but also the assets of the Family and maybe Descendants of that Person.
The Title Hou can be pass-down to the Next Generation, if the Family is upright and the Emperor is happy with their Behaviour & Performance.
In Deity System, some Deities are being Bestowed with Hou, due to their Credits & Merits that they accumulated during their Life-time or before Gaining Immortal-hood.
is hui ze zun wang a high ranked god , my great grandfather used to have his 100 years kimsin but after he pass away , the yap clan he joins invite a few kimsin of him together and combine them in a bungalow in bukit timah . last year on his celebration i when there and pray . there is kimsin of qing shui zu shi 4 da yuan shuai . the elder tell me that they are 'guards' of zun wang. how he get connection with qing shui zu shi.
ReplyDeleteis it true that when a god gain immortal hood . they don't need meat offering . their offering must in vegetarian . they also don't take wine ,they only take tea .
ReplyDeleteHe is just a form of Ancestor-honouring, so does not considered as High Ranking.
ReplyDeleteAll Hokkien Deities are being connected together closely, so this is why, alot of Old Generations tend to claim that they have relationship or sworning-bonding. Which all these are just Folks Culture.
To find out more, you shall approached them, I'm sure you will be able to know more on such Common Relationship.
THX ALOT. :)
