In the following are the pictures of the Statue of Zhen Wu Da Di (真武大帝) aka Xuan Tian Shang Di (玄天上帝) of Long Shan Men.
This Statue was brought to Singapore by the Elders of Long Shan Men many years ago. Really like the Human-look of it.
It is really special and so, its great to add into the Collection of Singapore Long Shan Men.
Indeed it's special.

ReplyDeleteShifu, why is this statue not with a sword/military uniform? Here, Xuan Tian Shang Di looks very scholarly.
ReplyDeleteThis is Zhen Wu for, which is the cultivation or meditation form, so in a very calm and relaxing form.
ReplyDeleteDear Jave,
ReplyDeleteI also bought this same statue from a flea market near China town in Vancouver B.C,Canada.I was guided to it about 12 years ago,and I have always treasured it.It is the first time I saw the snake and turtle not under his feet.This statue is rare and I have only seen it in a temple in Hong Kong.I love Xuan Tian Shang Di so much.I will always honor him and say thanks to find this precious statue.
Thats great. Nowadays, this is really rare and difficult to get hold. And 1 thing is that, now the price of such statues are increasing like mad, so do not get affected by the temptation :P
ReplyDeleteDo take good care of him and I'm sure you will be blessed by him.
