Mountain Hua Di aka Hua Di Shan (華帝山), a Mountain dedicated to Heavenly Marshal Hua Guang (華光大帝) aka Ma Tian Jun (馬天君).
Hua Di Shan, located in China Guang Dong Province (中國廣東省), Shan Wei City (汕尾市), a very famous Tourist Attraction in the Guang Dong Province. Hua Di Shan was famous for its wonderful scenery such as High & Green Mountain and also, the beautiful running clear Streams.
On top of Hua Di Shan, there is a small Village and in the Village, there is an Old Temple dedicated to Ma Tian Jun. This Temple was believed to be built in Song Dynasty by a Richman. Initially, this Temple was known as Lian Hua Zhu Miao (莲花主庙).
In between AD1119-1125 (宋朝宣和年間), Hua Di Shan was being invaded by the Mongolian Troops, one year, while the Villagers were trying to defeat the Invaders, Ma Tian Jun appeared on Hua Di Shan. Within moments of Ma Tian Jun’s appearing, the Invaders were being defeated and soon, Hua Di Shan regained it’s Peace.
From then, the Temple that dedicated to Ma Tian Jun changed it’s name to Hua Di Gu Miao (華帝古庙) and the Mountain was known as Hua Di Shan.
According to verbal records of the Villagers, Ma Tian Jun did appeared in Hua Di Shan whenever there were some issues happening. Till today, it was still the same.
And so, for those who really wished to find out more on Hua Di Shan or get closer to Ma Tian Jun, I think, this will be the best location for Oneself to visit.
Wow. Thanks for the info Shifu. Hope we can all visit there someday. :)
