Just before the whole group of us visit Tian Shi Fu (龍虎山天師府) to pay our respect to Heavenly Master Zhang Dao Ling (張祖天師) and meet up with the Taoist Priests there, we visited Da Shang Qing Gong (大上清宮) in the early morning.
Da Shang Qing Gong, built in a thousand years ago and was being destroyed a few times, the most recent one was during the Cultural Revolution Period where now, only less than 5% of Da Shang Qing Gong was left over for Taoists and Visitors to visit (for the moment, Tian Shi Fu is getting donation for the rebuilding of Da Shang Qing Gong).
During the 1st stop in Da Shang Qing Gong, we visited the Zhen Wu Hall (真武殿) above Fu Di Men (福地門) – the Main Entrance.
Upon climbing about 3 storeys high, we reached the Hall and at 1st sight, we were shocked to see the huge Statue of Zhen Wu Da Di (真武大帝) aka Xuan Tian Shang Di (玄天上帝) sitting in the centre of the Main Altar, accompanying him were the Two Official Assistants – Master Zhou (周公) & Fairy Peach Blossom (桃花女).
With a quick honouring of Zhen Wu, we proceed down, just as Jave was leaving the Hall, Jave was delighted to see the Tian Shi Talismans (天師符) being used to block the Negative Energies – sticking on the Windows, so without any hesitation, Jave took a few photos of them.
