Chen Qin Chai was born in Northern Song Dynasty 北宋天祐戊辰三年 (AD1088), on 27th Day of Lunar 6 Month (農曆六月二十七日).
According to records, Chen Qin Chai got his enlightenment on AD1159, 27th Day of Lunar 8 Month (得道與南宋紹興已卯廿九年農曆八月廿七日).
Today in Singapore, only left with one big family still celebrate his Xian You Zun Hou's birthday.
ReplyDeleteFor this family, they will celebrate his birthday on the 29th Day of Lunar 6 Month.
For those who are interested in seeing the 100 years old statue, can visit their tentage on the lunar day nest year (near Bukit Batok MRT station)

No temple, this family that celebrates the birthday is not from any temple or sintua, so can consider no individual temple will dedicated to him alone.
ReplyDeleteXian You Hou 顯佑侯 is a official title for Cheng Huang (城隍), they are of different deities.
