The Origin and Development of the Huang Daxian Temple Fair in Qishi

  Cinema The Huang Daxian Ancient Temple is located in the northwest of Qishi Town, close to Jinjiaoyiling next to the Dongjiang River. The ancient temple was built in the 12th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1873) and was originally named Huang Xianweng Temple. The birthday of Huang Taixian in Qishi is a festival for people to commemorate the “achievement of Taoism and becoming an immortal” of local celebrity Huang Runfu. The birthday period is from the fifteenth to the twenty-fiveth day of the seventh lunar month every year, and has a history of nearly 150 years.

  Huang Runfu was compassionate in his life and sacrificed his life to the Tao. “KomiksAscending to Immortality” is just a legend. Although he made a living by farming, he was also well versed in medical principles and practiced good deeds in the local area, and was highly respected by the villagers. Later, people donated money to build a temple to commemorate him. Today, the Hsin Wong Tai Sin Temple has become a well-known tourist attraction. Qishi Town has also used this to create a distinctive local folk culture brand, becoming an influential folk culture festival in Dongguan and even the Pearl River Delta region.
