    Just curious. Can you find someone to draw these pictures in Singapore? Or they have to come from China?

    In Spore, yes.. but is a bit expensive.

    Usually we will get them from China, but if we want very detail and fine paintings, we will have to engage Taiwanese Masters to do it.

    This is Marshal Ma aka Hua Guang. This is the form that normal temples or sintuas will used during big celebrations.

    Some paintings, they will paint him standing and holding to a spear.

  17. jave wu16 December 2007 at 01:07

    Hahahaha... some of the painters dont know who is Hua Guang, and some of them are ignorance of the appearance of Hua Guang, etc.

  18. colonel sy16 December 2007 at 01:09

    Oh I see. Some even write the title "Er Lang Shen" in a statue with a pyramid and obviously Hua Guang.

  19. colonel sy16 December 2007 at 01:10

    I've seen Hua Guang (Wu Xian Da Di) be depicted as an actual 5 persons, one of them is green and the other black... I'm quite bothered if this is correct...

  20. jave wu16 December 2007 at 01:23

    In some contexts, Wu Xian can be divided into Five, but that one is definitely not Hua Guang, cos Hua Guang's title Wu Xian only being bestowed to him only.

  21. colonel sy16 December 2007 at 01:27

    But I saw the five statues being the same in appearance as hua guang also with pyramids and third eye. Maybe they are mistaken.., nevermind hahaha Thanks.

  25. jave wu17 December 2007 at 14:23

    Yup, that is Zhao Gong Ming, in the normal color face form.

    Till today, there are still alot of paintings of Zhao Gong Ming in this form, I personally find it look better that the black face one.
