Che Kung Miu
About
Che Kung Miu (車公廟), often translated as the Che Kung Temple, is a temple in Tai Wai in Hong Kong's Sha Tin District, dedicated to the Chinese deity Che Kung. The same name is borne by another temple at Ho Chung, and several further temples in Hong Kong include Che Kung among their honoured deities.
Che Kung is venerated as a general who served the imperial court during the Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279). Some devotees connect him to the desperate effort to keep the Song state alive after the fall of the north — particularly the journey said to have brought the young Prince Ping and his brother to the south. Across centuries he came to be honoured as a guardian whose protection devotees invoke against misfortune and illness.
The Sha Tin temple is one of the most-visited Daoist and Chinese folk-religious sanctuaries in Hong Kong, especially around Lunar New Year, when crowds gather to spin the bronze 'fortune wheel' before the deity and ask his blessings for the year ahead.
