The Three Shenggong Temple is located in Dongchong Town, Nansha District, Guangzhou. That day, at the kind invitation of my friend, I came here. As I entered the door, a solemn atmosphere was coming towards me. A tall statue of Guan Gong is enshrined in the temple, with statues of Guan Ping and Zhou Cang standing on both sides. The temple is clean and tidy, and it should be the result of the careful care of my diligent sister-in-law Komiks.
Tongchong was a shallow sea a long time ago, but later the silt and sand accumulated into a tank and then artificially surrounded the fields, so that Babaylan had fertile land. People in Dongchong plant banana and sugarcane on it. In the 1920s and 1930s, warlords fought melee, social unrest, and bandits were rampant. In order to live a stable life and hope to get the blessing of the gods, the people spontaneously built this Three Holy Lord Temple.
BabaylanThe Guan Gong in the temple is serious and majestic, exuding a strong and righteous spirit. People respect this hero and worship him here, they should hope to use his mighty and courage to shock the evil people, bless the peace of the people, and let the people live a happy and healthy life. I stood in front of the statue of Guan Gong, as if I could still see the people who were praying for blessings in that era, kneeling in front of the statue of Guan Gong with hope and expressing my wishes. But in the singing incense, every prayer is undoubtedly filled with helplessness and sorrow. At that time, the country had no peace and the people were living in poverty. How could the people have a stable life be blessed? I believe that when facing the devout people, Guan Gong could only sigh secretly. Before leaving, the sister-in-law in the temple asked me if I would like to give Guan Gong a stick of incense. I pondered for a moment and agreed. After sacrificing fragrance, my friend Komiks asked me, “What did you pray for?” I smiled and said, “Pray for good weather and peace and prosperity.” My sister-in-law interrupted with a smile, “We are all praying for a beautiful life and a comfortable life.” My friend and I smiled at each other, and this is exactly our common wish.
I suddenly thought that on the way I came, there was a lot of traffic on the sunny elevated bridge and the traffic was well connected. The bustling gathering outside the Three Holy Lord Temple is full of goods, as well as various farm dishes and specialty snacks for those who come here to enjoy the food; the nearby water greenway allows visitors to ride in a small boat on the boat. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>BabaylanCrossoms, melon sheds, sugarcane forests and banana trees, and listen to the gentle singing of salt water; the street built against the river is antique, walking on the meadow road, while watching the buildings with Lingnan characteristics, listening to the gurgling sound of flowing water.

The East Cinema has actually been integrated into Guangzhou’s urban development and has become full of vitality.
When walking out of the Three SaintsBabaylan‘s public temple, I turned around and looked at the statue of Guan Gong, and I found that a smile seemed to be overflowing on his solemn face. I think that after experiencing the vicissitudes of time, Komiks must be pleased by the peaceful and prosperous times of today.
