Introduction of Huang Da Xian (金華赤松黃大仙)

 
Huang Da Xian (黃大仙) aka Immortal Wong, born in Jin Dynasty (生于晉朝 CE328). Hometown in Zhe Jiang Province Jin Hua Area (家鄉於浙江省金華).

Huang Da Xian's real name was known as Huang Chu Ping (黃初平), since young, he was strongly & closely associated with Taoism and soon, he started his own cultivation in learning the Culture & Skills of Taoism.

At the age of 15, on the way back home from his rearing of sheeps, a Taoist Priest approached him and later, the Priest brought him to a cave in Mt Jin Hua (金華山), from then, Huang Da Xian stayed in the cave to continue his Taoist Cultivation.

40 years of not returning home, Huang Da Xian’s family was anxiously worried about him, after searching around for some many years, finally, his brother Huang Chu Qi (黃初起) found him in the cave at Mt Jin Hua. After seeing his brother, Huang Da Xian turned white stones that he could find from the cave into millions of sheeps in front of his brother Chu Qi to prove to him that by doing self cultivation, one self can achieve a certain level of Spirituality.

From then, Huang Chu Qi started his own self cultivation.

After Huang Chu Qi mastered his skills, both the brothers returned home. After returning home, they were surprised to find out that, actually most of their family members had passed away. And so, both of them decided to return to Mt Jin Hua to continue their cultivation and learning.

Not long after they returned to Mt Jin Hua, both the brothers got their Enlightenment.

Huang Da Xian was known later as Chi Song Zi (赤松子).

Every year on the 23rd Day of Lunar 8 Month (八月廿三日), in Hong Kong, folks will visit the temple that is dedicated to Huang Da Xian to celebrate Huang Da Xian's birthday.
