Childhood fascinations and intrigge with The Monkey god

Monkey God worship came into my early Childhood interest when my Grandmother and eldest Aunt Dora introduced me to some sort of a medium at her house who venerated Tai Sheng on yeh with some claim to cure ailment and gave protection . It also accompanied by Chinese reading syllabus in School . It stuck with me all throught my childhood even till now as an overseas Chinese migrant that I would never forget . There is also the writings of Felix Chia of the Baba Malay Heritage in which he detailed the customs and superstitious beliefs of the noyna householder of the by-gone days. Amongst ancestral worship , the monkey God was one of the gods venerated besides the goddess of mercy and the Kitchen god . According to Sit Yin fong's Tales of Chinatown of early Malaysia and Singapore, Monkey God veneration was very popular in in those times . He describes how a local medium woman would go into a trance and spill rice all over the floor to invite the presence of the diety in which she would perform some fake martial art dances with a sword . she then wrote out an amulet and pasted it onto the body of the devotee , drank some water from a mug and sputtered it out all over him half -naked ! I am personally much more interested in its conncetion with early Singapore shipping history when the boat builders of Jalan Kayu worshipped the monkey God besides Guan yin , Shang di , Pek gong and Guan Gong and the accounts from the journey to the west in relation to the dragon king, rain-making , coconut plantations and fruit orchards in which fruit growers and confectioners venerated it to ensure the fruits and auspicious biscuits would thrive and contribute to a prosperous business .

When prince nezha subdues the Dragon King

When prince nezha subdues the Dragon King

Dragon King worship is one of the earliest form of shamanic primitive religions that stemmed from Dragon emperor worship which involved self-immolation and human scacrifices. According to Dr. Ong hean Tatt's book on the Chnese Lung , its origins predated to the appreance of a serpent lizard -like huge creature which appeared during Spring time which is the ancester of the Indonesian Commodore dragon of today . The reason being that it was the cliamatic condtions which caused the debut of this majestic awe-inpsing creature which predates to the Chinese connection to the period of the Dianasours . Dragons of the chinese culture is the same as dainaisours and this is why the chinese race refered to themsleves as children of the dragon from its repetilan evolution. Other forms of dainasours discovered included the ancestor of the birds of prey which became the myhtical phoniex and  a symbol attributed to the mother god worship . It was under hese favourable primitve climax that the 12 cycle of the Chinese zoadic  which amalagted with  studies in celestial bodies cum astronomy and astrlogy that  crated the Chinese horoscopes , forecasting  and divination of today .

Dragons or dainasours thus became connected with auspiciality, fortune -telling, emperor worship and rain magic from  neopolatic times . Buddhsim which spreaded into  China from India during the 4th and 6th century led to the incorparation of the Indain Naga king Buddhist symbol of protection against evil , floods and natural disasters. The best  example which I can recollect to have influenced the overseas Chinese Hokkien and Teochew Singaporean Culture community Taoist  bai shen piety was the legend of Prince Nezhe subdued the dragon king along side the Monkey god story when Tibetan folklore of vijayaran Buddhist Metaphysics and Indain
Buddhsit Dhama intoduced these Indian Buddhsit tales to China during the
Tang dynasty in 635 AD.

It is the Indian Naga king buddhsit culture in  which the Buddha having attained enlightenment having subdued the evil nanga dragon conquering yamagata of the king of hell that gained entry into nirvana from Srikana  buski wandering monks of Srilanka of the Buddha with the naga dragon falme flame which became incorparted into the Brhman hindu deni-god king worship , art, architecture and yoga alike  in the 5th century that spreaded and influenced Therevada Thai, Burmnese, Cambodain and Laos buddhism and Hokkien Teochew Thai, Burmese , Laos, Cambodain and Indonesain segments of  Overseas  Chinese . It was also accomanpied by the spread of  Ramanyna Hidu epic of King rama recovery of her pirncess consrot sita withthe help of the Monkey god Hamunan and the motif of the Buddha with the naga flame and the royal umberalla Umbralla royal design were used decoratively  in stone carvings, satutes, images and architectural designs of the temple murals of the angkor wat and Boradour allike.

 Third prince nezha is an avatar the boy-god warrior and the son of Tower-king Guradain Ling zhen and is popularly associated with water worship safety and the Chinese antiqurain acquaitc-astro culture because Prince nezha loves to swim. and it was during his swimming that he waved his scafe , shaking the waves the Dragon king palace below and a fierce infurated battle followed in which the dragon king's son was slained and the dragon king himself defeated in battle. The dragon king in retaliaiton flooded his Nezha's father's palace and lodge a compLint  with the Jade emperor demandinf a  life for life . Nezha thus couragous took his own life and his spirit later re-incarnated as a god and cannoised . People started worshipping him and prayers for sicknesses  were cured .

In Singapore today, The Hokkien and Teochew Taosit communtiy of Geyland reverely expressed their peity with  processional marches . Qigong Astral projecting into Nezha for my Ba gua excersice for strength in the arms and balance of the upper limbs and bodily joins for spear play with the Indian hindu diety Warrior Business king Murugan of Jalan besar of Upper Dickson street  .

This excersice in Qigong projections of third prince Nezha also  leads to obtaining money and the channelling auspicious positive creative synergies of the universe to supply me with seafood having subdue the evil naga dragon  king  of the yin energy copiciosuly enjoy eating seafood right to my utmsoit satisfaction !

How I became a Singaporean Chinese Bao gong ghost dreamer

I am actually a  Bao Gong ghost dreamer and looking for friends to share my knowledge so I start by telling the history of Chinese bai shen primitive Daoist Chinese culture  that evolved from early times to late Ming period that has shaped the facets of our overseas Chinese heritage :

1. That true Chinese religious culture originates from river worship of the Chinese shamanic age or the Shen hua xiao shou divine chronicles when the Chinese civilisation was a very pragmatic earth bound spiritual society

2. The need to adjust to settlement of river life in the yellow river delta Hung he basin and Yang zi or the great ocean created a great need for a balanced ecology with mountains, river, land, earth and sky which led to the creation of Shang di or Di gong in Hokkien which is the north pole astral god which derived from the balance of water and fire and alchemy to balance the cosmos to achieve universal rule, peach and harmony

3. Astral projections and ghost dreaming or ghost encounters were mixed with river worship and dragon emperor worship for river and flood protection and preservation of human welfare and happiness.

3a. Early worship of emperor sage kings of great Yu, Yao, shun and Yellow emperor known as the great auspicious five or 5 Augustus ones, demi gods and goddess such as Wang mu or the western mother, Nui wau, Pan gu and jiu tian xuan nui or jade fairy maiden for horticulture, agriculture and Chinese internal medicine originated from the Chinese autochonotic beliefs from their migration from Mesopotamia into the China plains and Asian steppes during the Akkadian great King Sargonic age

3b. Kingship of emperor worship and shamanic priest craft and dragon worship originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasty which were integrated into other literal works such as the Confucius teachings and the book of Songs, Spring Autumn annals and warring sates literature such as the drowning of Qu Yuan in the river which was tied in with dragon king worship and the boat races

3c. the school of legalism and school of military warfare of the warring states, patriotism and loyalty and chivalry poured into the Three kingdom period that created the Gung gong veneration and the later Song dynasty Water Margin and Bao gong Taiping era stories .

4. These was later mixed into later song dynasty neo-Confucius unorthodox teaching of Taoist Realist philosophy (quan zhen dao jiao) and Zen Buddhism which led Chinese Ming dynasty unorthodox  Confucius scholar Ling Meng Zhu to reproduce the Song dynasty Strange and mysterious Chinese detective murder  mystery of Bao gong Qi An or strange and mysterious Justice Bao cases in which Bao gong murder mystery combined with astral projections and ghost dreaming was adopted into the Taiwanese and Hokkien culture .

5. Taiwanese and Hokkien taoist culture consequently  elevated Bao gong into a river dragon god for human  welfare, protection and happiness as well as the development of the Chinese legal system to reinforce justice and peace along side river worship of Shang di and mah zhu

6. Gaung gong and Shang di were elevated into important local gods during the early Ming dynasty of Emperor Yung le who was a follower of the Legalistic Taoist school of thought when he founded Zhen yi Taoism or a purer school of Taoism or legalistic righteous administration to reinforce his autocratic rule. Emperor Yong le was opposed to both Buddhism and Confucianism and heavily supressed and outlawed them because:

a... Tibetan Buddhism and tantric practises was made popular by the Yuan dynasty Mongolian rule over China

b. Confucianism which is based on benevolent rule undermined his autocracy and a great threat to him. Emperor Yong le imprisoned and exiled all his Confucian scholar ministers of his day and introduced Shang di as THE PRINCIPAL GOD TO BE WORSHIPPED absolute divinity which was very useful in according to the building of the forbidden city according to the north pole orientation of the imperial palace cosmology and elevated Guan gong and the city or town guardian into gods for national peace and prosperity.

So this is how and why Taiwanese and Hokkiens  as Malaysians and Singaporean Overseas Chinese have received the Chinese Ming dynasty Zhen yi Taoist heritage which developed from Beijing and spreaded into Suzhou and Hangzhou then into Fukien and Canton and subsequently became transplanted across Nanyang and into Singapore .  The same is true of the Baba Peranakan culture of the early 20th century as wriiten by Felix Chia of the Babas .

So this is how I became a very eccentric unorthodox Confucius Legalist Taoist Chinese failed scholar of Ling Meng Zhu Bao gong astral projections and ghost dreaming. Please be agreeable to be friends to help share, promote and preserve the knowledge and legacy.

7. Taiwan TV  hollowood studio first produced the Bao gong chinese drama series which had a very psychomatic euphoric effect on its citizens who love Chinese dramatic films secularly and spirtually alike that it grew into a local pulp ficiton holly wood Taiwan stlye cult film . One such person was a Taiwanese business man who had a dream of a Black figure of Bao gong in certain county in Taiwan which forewarned him of an impending flood so he put away some money to rasie funds and built a local temple to Bao gong and the river goddess Mahzhu to prevent flooding . The flooding did actually occur and prayers at the temple helped to cause the flood to subside . Consequently the locals prayed faithfully atthe temple since then .

8. This popular Taiwanese Baogong cult film spreaded into Singapore and was reprodueced by the Singaapore SBC afternoon matinee . From my early childhood, I eacthed this sereies so  dilligently glued on it  with all its intrigging muder mysterioyus queer stories .

I became so fascianted by Bao gong since then  it and it is only till recent in my overeseas chinese retrospection mand introspection that I researched into its origins . Incorporating it into my Daoyin Chinese yoga Qigong astral projection excercises led to very real and strange and mysterious experiences  that I post on this blog .
