省善真堂為融合佛、道兩家的宗教團體,創辦於1952年,前身是東莞成立之蓬瀛閣,專責贈衣施食等慈善工作。戰後遷港,現已發展成九龍區最大規模的道觀,正門為三清正殿,堂內設有文殊殿、觀音殿、鸞壇等,莊嚴肅穆,讓信眾虔誠參拜。
太歲是中國古代天文和占星中的一顆虛星,與木星運行軌道相同但方向相反,爾後演變成一種道教和民間信仰的神祇。攝太歲是一種民間信仰。民間相信當太歲運行到某個生肖的位置,屬該生肖及其相對生肖者謂之「犯太歲」(如牛年,太歲本命沖屬牛者,對沖屬馬者),民眾唯恐觸怒太歲於己不利,便於當年祭拜太歲神以祈福消災,此活動便為「安太歲」、「拜太歲」。
Shang Sin Chun Tong is a religious organisation that integrates both Buddhism and Taoism. Founded in 1952, its predecessor was the Fung Ying Pavilion established in Dongguan, China. It was dedicated charity work, donating food and clothing. After the war, it moved to Hong Kong and has now developed into the largest Taoist temple in Kowloon. At the main entrance is the Sam Ching Main Hall. There are Manjusri Hall, Guanyin Hall, and Luen Altar, etc, which are solemn, allowing devout worship.
Patron Gods (Tai Sui) is a virtual star in ancient Chinese astronomy and astrology. It has the same orbit as Jupiter but in the opposite direction, and then evolved into deities in Taoist and folk belief. People believe that when Tai Sui moves to a certain zodiac position, those who belong to that zodiac and its adjacent zodiac are known as “Offending Tai Sui” (eg: in the year of the ox, the ox and the horse offend Tai Sui). People are afraid of displeasing Tai Sui and pray for blessings to avoid disasters. This activity is called “Worship Tai Sui”.
