Description
He is a Chinese Taoist deity popular with the power of healing.
Master Wong Tai Sin was originally known as Wong Cho-ping and his immortal title is Chisong Fairy. He was born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 328 AD and his family was very poor in his childhood. He was only 8 years old when he herded sheep at Jinhua Mountain, north of Jinhua in Zhejiang Province.
At the age of 15, he received an advice from an immortal to practise the Tao in a stone cave in the mountains. When Wong Cho-hei asked Master Wong the whereabouts of his sheep herd, the Master led him to a heap of white boulders on the east side of the mountain. The Master suddenly yelled at the white boulders. Miraculously, the rocks started to move and turned into a flock of sheep. As the Master attained the Tao on Chisong Mountain, thus he was also known as Chisong Wong Tai Sin.
