Spring & Autumn Pavilions 春秋閣 ...


Two massive pavilions dedicated to 

Kuan Kung (the God of War),
named "the Spring and Autumn Pavilions" 
were completed in 1951. 
...
According to legend, Guanyin (the Goddess of Mercy)
appeared above the clouds riding on a dragon, 
signifying that believers must erect an image 
depicting this event between pavilions of summer and autumn: 
The present-day structures are a result of this vision.

Story of the town of Nine Sets (Jiufen) 九份 ...


Facing the sea, with mountains surrounding it, 
there were only nine families at Jiufen 
in the Ching Dynasty. 
Therefore, when they purchased daily necessities from the outside, 
they just needed nine sets (Jiufen). 
...
From then on, people used the name Jiufen (九份) for this place. 
For a long time, Jiufen preserved its simple atmosphere, 
although it was very prosperous once because of gold mining. 
During the Japanese colonization period, 
Fushan Temple at Jiufen had become the 
 biggest Tu Ti Kung temple (土地公庙)
Kuan Kung (關公), the god that guards over business,
 became the prominent God here.

If burning incense can 如果燒香可以 ...


If burning incense can
burn away negative qualities of oneself
to reveal the Pure self within
...
Surely it does not, and it is a symbolic action 
and yet it aught to be a powerful one 
if only those who burn incense 
realizes the purpose of them doing so
