Consecration of Xi Zhong Deity

Xi Zhong Deity was traditionally worship by the Chinese in ancient time.  This Deity was found by Xi Zhong and his son, whom they invented the wooden wheels for horse cart.  Their intention was to relieve the burden of the village folks by helping them to transport heavy goods through horse carts.  Xi Zhong’s invention had helped and brought much convenience to the villagers.  He earned their respect and was gradually worshipped as a vehicle Deity for blessings of safe and smooth journey in their livelihood.

As the society progressed, people enjoyed better living and started to own vehicles as a form of transport.   Better roads were built and gradually, vehicles became an essential mode of transport on the road. Vehicle users would pray to the Deity for blessings of smooth and safe journey.

Xi Zhong Deity was consecrated at the Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple on an auspicious day, 26.9.2017 at 9.30am by the senior Priests from Singapore Hun Yuan Dao Tan.  This Deity was placed at the altar infront of the God of Wealth.
