Pictures of Fa Shi Zhen Wu Temple - China Xiao Wu Dang (法石真武廟-泉州小武當)





Fa Shi Zhen Wu Temple aka China Quan Zhou Xiao Wu Dang, located in China Hokkien Province, Quan Zhou City, Dong Hai Town, Shi Tou Street (中國泉州市東海鎮石頭街 ).

This Temple was built in Song Dynasty (1000+ years ago), dedicating to Xuan Tian Shang Di aka Zhen Wu (玄天上帝).

During Song Dynasty (始建于宋代 ), Xuan Wu was being honoured as a Deity of Water for preventing Flood, etc (水神玄武).

The Spot of this Temple was believed to be one of the Spots that Xuan Wu pass-by while he was performing his Cultivation. Till today, Taoists still believed that Xuan Wu's Positive Energy is still hidden in some of the corners in this Temple.

And this was the reason of why the Taoists addressed this Temple as Xiao Wu Dang (the next most Important Temple besides the main one in Wu Dang Mountain).

On the 3rd Day of 3 Month and 9th Day of 9 Month, this Temple will be flooded with Devotees of Xuan Tian.
