Jin Chengxian and Di, born in Lanxi City, Jinhua County, Zhejiang Province, China, on August 13th in the third year (AD 328). At the age of fifteen, he was herding sheep in the mountains and met the immortal Guang. Later, he was taken to the Red Songshan Cave in Jinhua to study Taoism. Since then, I have never given up the secular pursuit and devoted myself to practice. After more than 40 years of accumulated virtue, it has finally become a positive result.

Wong Tai Sin-Folk Custom
Wong Tai Sin is actually a golden turtle in front of the Jade Emperor's Temple. After years of practice, he has acquired the aura of the universe and his magic is also very high. One day, the scarab saw a large area of land on the earth, and there was no water in the river. The rice fields are as dry as hay, and people are so thirsty that their tongues are dry and their lips are burnt. Scarab was very kind, so it secretly sprayed the water from Tianhe to the lower bound, and it rained heavily. The people danced with joy, and the water god who visited Tianhe told the Jade Emperor about the scarab stealing rain from the world. The Jade Emperor was furious and rebuked the Scarab for using Tianhe without authorization and committing a "dogma", so he sent him down to earth as a human being and assigned the celestial guards to be reincarnated as turtles. The heavenly guards sympathized with the Scarab's punishment and wanted to choose a noble family to reincarnate the Scarab. In the evening, they called several city gods and land to ask, but one family decided that after several generations of efforts, his wife was going to give birth. At this time, the maternal household is full of golden light and red light, and the maternal feels that there is a turn for the better and the baby is born. It was the Jin Dynasty. In the third year of Cheng Xianhe (AD 328), his family name was Huang. Three years ago, they got their eldest son, and they took the "first time", which means they hope to get rid of poverty from their son's generation. Now when the second son is born, there is golden light and red light. I don't know what's strange. He hoped that his second son would grow up safely, so he named it Chuping. Huang Chuping herded sheep at home when he was eight years old. He is pure and wise, filial to the young, diligent and studious, and his elders in the countryside praise him as a saint. When Huang Chuping was fifteen, one day he was herding sheep at the foot of Jinhua Mountain, and a lamb slipped and got hurt. He cured the lamb carefully and took care of it. The lamb nestled on his knee and was very moved. Huang Chuping felt sad and thought that when the lamb grew up, it would be slaughtered, which helped him to endure. He was worried and didn't know what to do. At this moment, a Taoist priest passed by and asked ChuPing why he was in such a hurry. ChuPing explained the reason. The Taoist asked Huang Chuping what he thought of the lamb. Chuping said, I hope the sheep will live forever. The Taoist priest said it was easy, so he used his magic to turn the sheep into white stones in the mountains. ChuPing looked surprised and felt very mysterious. At the same time, he became a monk again, begging the Taoist priest to take him in for Chuping. He replied: "I believe, work hard and have no attachments, but I want to succeed in learning Taoism." The Taoist priest smiled and said, "You have the wisdom to practice, and you have many fairy tales. Only by practicing diligently and achieving positive results will you be so persistent and the old road will agree with you. " Taoist introduced Huang Chuping to the Jinhua Ancient Cave in Song Chi, realized the mystery of monasticism and carved the Tao.
When Chuping returned to his hometown, his parents had died, so he had to go to see his brother Huang Chu, so Chuping told his brother about his forty years' experience. My brother asked ChuPing where the goat went. Chuping said they were still in the mountains, but his brother didn't believe him. So Chu Ping took his brother to see them in the mountains. I see a group of white stones. Where is the goat? I saw Chu Ping chanting a spell, waving the dust in his hand at the mountain and saying, "Get up, sheep." The white stone on the mountain immediately jumped up and became a thousand sheep. His brother suddenly realized the mystery of Taoism, so he studied Taoism with his younger brother.
After 500 years of practice, Wong Tai Sin rode a crane, and his eldest brother rode a fairy deer to Xianfu, which achieved good results. This is the life of Wong Tai Sin and the story of "turning stones into sheep".
After the first peace became a fairy, the people sent doctors and medicines, and the police and evil were eliminated, which won the hearts of the people. People call him Wong Tai Sin or Akamatsu Sin.
Many believers built temples and shrines for him in Guangzhou, Xiqiao Mountain, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and even the United States. The legend of Wong Tai Sin dates back to ancient times, and the people praised him for punishing evil and promoting good, exorcising demons and catching monsters, practicing medicine to save people, persuading good and doing good, and planting deeds of caring for the sufferings of the people. According to the Records of Jinhua County, during the Jiading period of the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Tang Ji, whose left eye often shed tears, and he couldn't be cured after seeing many famous doctors. One day, he went up the hill and passed a big stone. Suddenly, someone was calling his name. This moment I saw it, it turned out to be a Taoist sitting on a stone. Tao Weng said that Tang Ji is a kind person and should not suffer such suffering. So Daoweng drained the herb juice and applied it to his left eye. As a result, his eye disease was cured. Later, Tang Ji learned that this Taoist Weng was Wong Tai Sin. In order to thank him for his illness, he offered a statue of Wong Tai Sin at home. At night, incense burned us, and that stone was called Wong Tai Sin Stone.
In the year of Song San (A.D. 1087), there was a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, the rivers dried up, and the straw was as dry as hay. People are thirsty. The government went to the Korean Pine Palace in Jin Huashan to ask for rain, and it really came true. Near noon in Jinhua, dew moistened and the drought was eliminated. Huang Da-nei's immortal deeds of "saving lives", "praying for rain and sunshine" and "expressing affection with affection" were awarded by the emperors in the 16th year of Song Dynasty (1 189) and the 3rd year of Li Ding (1262).
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a plague in Xiqiao, Nanhai. Fortunately, Wong Tai Sin passed through here and relieved the people's pain. However, because too many people are sick, there is not enough fairy medicine in the gourd. Wong Tai Sin told everyone not to worry, saying: It doesn't matter if there is no medicine. Just touching his medicine gourd can eliminate the disease, so all the sick people ran to touch Wong Tai Sin's medicine gourd and the plague was eliminated. Later, in order to commemorate this merit of Wong Tai Sin, people carved Wong Tai Sin's medicine gourd in the Wong Tai Sin Holy Garden in Xiqiao Mountain.
