Ma Tian Jun (馬天君) aka Hua Guang (華光) aka Ma Ling Guang (馬靈官), one of the 4 important Taoist Generals (道教四大元帥) that assist Deities to withold the Culture of Taoism.
In Main Stream Taoism, Ma Tian Jun will also be invited in major Rituals/Ceremonies as one of the Protectors for the Ritual/Ceremony performed.
Till today, in the folks society, there's still a group of people tend to mix-up Hua Guang Ma Tian Jun (華光馬天君) and Yang Jian Er Lang Shen (楊戩二郎神) together, to be accurate, they are of different Deities.
How to identify them?
For Hua Guang Ma Tian Jun - he will always hold on to a Golden Pyramid (三角金磚) and taking a sword, in some context, he will also have a Fire Crow (火鴉) beside (to represent the Spirit of Fire 火之精).
For Yang Jian Er Lang Shen - holding to a 3-pointed Spear (三尖戟) with a black dog (哮天犬) besides him.
Similarity: Both of them have a 3rd eyes at the fore-head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Cantonese Opera (粵劇), Hua Guang Ma Tian Jun is considered as their Protector or Ancestor.

Hey bro, I could not find an image of a "fire crow" , I'd love to see one. Ronni
ReplyDeleteDear Bro, for the Fire Crow, is not that commonly seen nowadays, due to many reasons.
ReplyDeleteIn the Past, when ppl will to talk about Fire or Spirit of Fire, they will relate it to the Crow.
Besides that, Crow also represent Sun or the Movement of the Sun.
Would like to know why was 華光 selected as the patron of 粵劇? Why the fire crow 火鴉, as this would be dangerous, especially in the backstage of the opera stage... all make shift and made of wood?
ReplyDeleteIn certain context, folks tend to believe Hua Guang a Cantonese and so from then, he's imported into the Opera Deities Group as one of the patron for Cantonese Opera (and I'm sure you know that :p Every year in Hong Kong, on his Birthday, all Cantonese Opera Actors will have to take the day off to go pay respect to Hua Guang at their respective Organisations, etc).
ReplyDeleteFire Crow or the Spirit of Fire, this is another main reason why so many opera troupes pay respect to him, cos the folks believed that since Hua Guang is the Deity of Fire, he's able to control the Fire and so, from then, they dedicated an altar to him on the stage while they having their performance.
Yes, thanks Jave, I hear a little about the situation in Hong Kong. I believe the main organization controlling the smaller ones would be 八和會館.
ReplyDeleteThanks also about the info about the Spirit of Fire, it certainly made a lot of sense. :-)
Welcome welcome.
ReplyDeleteYup, its Ba He, but from what I know, there's also quite a lot of issues happening in there.
But anyway, we are here to promote our Chinese Culture ma.
Cantonese Opera.. Long Live.. hee hee.
yeah.... should check out my Cantonese stage... plenty of old movies and operas too. :-)
ReplyDeletehttp://cantonesestage.multiply.com/
Hahaha, yup, been watching the movies from ur web for quite sometime liao :P
ReplyDeleteChan Bao Zhu is my idol.. like her very much ;)
ah, a man of my heart. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo that means, when i saw ppl who have Hua Guan's kimsin in our 五营军将, standing in the place of Er Lang Shen... is wrong?
ReplyDeleteIf you don mind I said that it's wrong.
ReplyDeleteBut too bad, how we helped to promote the correct form of Hua Guang and Yang Jian, there's still a group of people that wanted to be ignorant and making the mistake, and so, we have to leave it to them.
Hua Guang can never be exist in the 5 Camps but only standing beside Jade Emperor, Xuan Tian Shang Di or any High Ranking Taoist Deities.
Whereas Yang Jian, can be in the 5 Camps or standing individual as one of the Taoist Generals.
To be more accurate, there's 2 version of Er Lang Shen, one is the one we know from Feng Shen Bang (楊戩) and another is known as a Historical Character, named as Zhao Yu (趙昱)
hua guang is also known as wu xian da di?
ReplyDeleteYup, he's got another title of Wu Xian Da Di (五顯大帝) or Wu Xian Ma Ling Guan (五顯馬靈官).
ReplyDeleteAlot of the people tend to mistaken that Wu Xian Da Di got 5 Deities, but actually is not. The title Wu Xian got it's meaning.
Whereas Wu Fu Da Di (五福大帝) will have 5 Deities -> in-charge of Diseases/illnesses.
oic ha thanks!
ReplyDeletesingapore got hua guan da di temple ?
ReplyDeleteIndividual dedication no, but side altar yes.
ReplyDeleteHua Guang Da Di is not common among the commoners only Cantonese Opera Performers are more keen to pay respect to him.
If I'm not wrong, they will be a great celebration on Hua Guang by the Cantonese Opera Performers within the next week months, will keep you inform if there's any :P
thx
ReplyDeletehw to u go abt hua guang da di jiu ?

Bro, dun mention...
ReplyDeletewe r here to share....

kk
ReplyDeletedo u hav his jiu also ?
wif music / song ?
Sorry, mi dun hav...
ReplyDeletekk
ReplyDeleteSuch a Mantra is not common used among the Folks Taoists, it's only used by Priests or Religious Leaders during Rituals or Ceremonies.
ReplyDeleteBut for a Taoist who is interested and sincere in learning, definitely there's no problem.
Such Mantras (Bao Gao) are treated as a form of "Taoist Official Invitation Mantra" for Deities.
Usually we will just recite it without any music or singing.
But up to individual, some Taoist Groups will compose a background music for it.
did ur team compose it wif a music ?
ReplyDeletecos i dun tink is easy to find his jiu....
i m trying to learn his jiu so tt i k sing his jiu to invite him....
thx
Due to his quite rare in Spore, usually my side also dont invite him unless when necessary.
ReplyDeleteNo music for the moment.
But if you interested, you can just recite it while you pay respect to him in the mornin, etc.
ONE SERIOUS reminder, this Mantra is not mend for Mediums, do not try on Mediums... KEEP in MIND
this is just merely for reference, I will not hold any responsibilities...

Hi Jave,
ReplyDeleteif u find the above is inappropriate, feel free to delete..
No problem, as reference, this is good.
ReplyDeleteBut to invite him for a medium, it's still not accurate, cos alot of the phrases in the mantra is not appropriate.
This is the mistake that alot of people, who compose the mantras, made in the past....
Anyway, dont take that too seriously la :P
Wu Liang Shou
mi agree with this point of view...
ReplyDeleteHere's one from our Sect - Long Shan Men (龍山門), to be frank, this mantra has not been used for many years (actually not allowed to share), but anyway, since there's someone who need it, no point keeping with me to the grave.. hee hee.. here it goes (see the slight differences with the one being post earlier):

You shall find the right Deity or the right department to do ur request.

ReplyDeletedsfz
oo, thx.
ReplyDeleteLast time, there was a taoist master told me that Hua Guang Da Di normally have golden face statue, whereby Er Lang Shen doesnt have.
both have 3rd eye...
ReplyDeletedsfz
趙昱, any information u can provide for me on him?
ReplyDeleteZhao Yu aka Er Lang Shen, he's the one who stopped the disasters of flooding and also the demon snake from attacking the mortals.
ReplyDeleteDue to his credits and merits, he was being bestowed with the title Er Lang Shen aka Er Lang Zhen Jun.
In China, some rural areas, you are still able to find the temples dedicated to him.
Oh, if possible can u do a write-up?
ReplyDeleteSorry.
Hahahahaha.. I wil try to do a proper write-up in the blog section soon :P
ReplyDeleteKeep a look out.
Ok, thanks a lot.

ReplyDeleteThen er lang shen, tian gou is pray for what purpose?
ReplyDeleteIn Taoism, Er Lang Shen is a Deity that in-charge of controling of Water Movements, the one normally the Folks pay respect to known as Yang Jian is a man-made character, so no point honouring him.
ReplyDeleteTian Gou, no one will pay respect to it, in Taoism, we will perform Ritual/Ceremony to send it off or chase it away, cos it will only created more problem & troubles for Mortals, if it stays in the Mortal Realm.
A special statue of Hua Guang.

ReplyDeleteHi All,
ReplyDeleteMy wife is getting a miscarriage abortion done. Is there any taoist god to pray to or there any ritual to be done after the operation?
Any temple in Singapore to recommend to go to?
thanks a lot
Hi,
ReplyDeleteFor the moment, you can go to Yu Huang Dian located at Havelock Road to pay respect to Zhu Sheng Niang Niang, report to her your wife's name, DOB and when the incident happen.
And then, request her for blessing you all for another Child soon.
Then proceed to Du Cheng Huang Temple located at Tanjong Pagar to do a simple report to Cheng Huang on this Incident. Request Cheng Huang to take charge if the case is being cause by other External Issues, if not, request for Safe-blessing for the next expectation.

ReplyDeletebro, your mantra is almost 90% the same as what I have in the lv shan recodr book.. :) there is a show of hua guang in the 90s.. it has described hua guang as a god of fire, being sent down to earth to punish all those who are involve in opera (because they try to inpersonate the deity).. but fire god didnt to but instead ask the performer to burn something else and hope that the jade emperor will believe that his job is done.. but the plot was uncovered and fire god was punished and recarnate as hua guang..
ReplyDeletehis reborn however is to prevent an invasion of the evil.. he got his enlightenment again after he successfully fight off the evil king..
i was wondering if there is any truth in this story line?
Dear Bro,
ReplyDeleteYup yup, cos Long Shan Men also practice Lv Shan Spiritual Skills, and so, in someway, the Mantras are quite similar.
As for the Show, not really accurate la, cos Hua Guang does not come in Mortal Realm to do his Cultivation neither Lv Dong Bin is his Master. This is why, during the Period while this Show was out for Airing, some Taoists actually write in to complain, hahahaha :P
If you are interested in recalling on how this Show go about, you can visit this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN_c903gV5k&feature=PlayList&p=263C5A91BCE73063&index=1
I'm sure you will find it a bit weird now.
haha u know which show i am talking.. we are from the same era.. actually very difficult for them to air deity show without changing some of the story, they do have disclaimer in front stating that the show is based on imagination and not a fact..
ReplyDeletehowever, i will be interested to know if any script writer dare to write out any storyline that makes fun of deities/saints of other religion..
Hahaha, yup yup :P
ReplyDeleteIts true that most of the stories are changed in-order to satisfy the viewer-ship.
Got what, recently on the Underworld, perform by Edmund Chen aka Chen Zhi Cai, they make fun of how Ancestors come back and how useless the Underworld Constable :P
And also, Jade Emperor perform by Huang Wen Yong and Wang My by Chen Li Ping...
hehe.. that is why i wonder if there will be future work on shows featuring other religion.. so far i have only come across a light mock of christianity in an old hk movie..
ReplyDeletewonder if i will be jailed if i self make a short clip, title it to 'for entertainment only'.. i already got lots of ideas when i watch jade emperor/wang mu and the 'timid' li jing..
Jailed? for what and who will want to jail you for this?
ReplyDeletefor mockery of other religion? the line between entertainment and mockery is 'very thin' here in singapore just like the couple who distributed some articles on muslim.. the difference is i am an individual so easier so garmen the apply their laws on me..
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, as long as you dont cross the border of making 2 Religions start Fighting, I think shall be ok.
ReplyDeleteI think in Singapore, for the Media-side, making fun of Deities are not a New Issue. Since the Era of Radio-Airing Programme started, Stories of making fun of Spiritual Characters had already started.
This San Tou Liu Bi Ma Hua Guang is the Actual Form?
ReplyDeleteYes, this is the Original form of Hua Guang which later in Feng Shen Bang, being used as the Form for Na Zha.
ReplyDeleteAny dedication to Ma Hua Guang in this form, in Singapore?
ReplyDeleteNo, till today, only in Taiwan and the faraway Rural Village in China still using this form.
ReplyDeletesifu..may i ask, izzit 馬府元帥 is 華光大帝？
ReplyDeleteNo, they are different Deities.
ReplyDeleteCoz, last week, I prayed at da sheng yeh temple, and there's a medium in trance holding 馬府元帥 flag, then i thought he was hua gang. then it means ma yuan shuai is a deity from the five horses? coz, we also confuse what are the five horses stand for at the temple? i guess most temples have them . Thanks for enlighting us.
ReplyDeleteNot necessary to be associated with the horses. Cos such Yuan Shuai can be Ancestor Honouring and so, we need to know of the background of the Temple/Sintua in-order to know which Ma Yuan Shuai they are honouring.
ReplyDeleteIs Ma Tian Jun appointed to look over Stuffs related to Divination Consultation?
ReplyDeleteNo no.
ReplyDeleteWhat does "專理鸞務" means then?
ReplyDeleteLuan is another Skills in Taoism, which now is being separated out into an Individual Schools. From Luan, we are able to know the Messages being send down from the Spiritual Realms.
ReplyDeleterecently i saw a statue of hua guang da di similar to this, but his carrying a book and the bian. is it correct? does he hold the whip?
ReplyDeleteOlden Days, people will do the statue with a Book, but after people realised that actually Hua Guang does not carry that, so they change the image according to the records that we have.
ReplyDeleteHua Guang dont hold Bian, it shall be a Sword.
sifu, can we have 六壬仙師咒， or any bao gao dedicated for Him??thanks

ReplyDeleteHmmm, whats ur case? why need to send off Tian Gou?
ReplyDeleteSifu I m born in rat year. Afflicted by Tian Gou. Isn't it good to send away?
ReplyDeleteI c, do not worry abt that. As long as you dont go honour or make any offerings to Tian Gou, it will be fine. Go to my posting on Zhang Xian (張仙), recite the Bao Gao whenever you can, you will be blessed.
