Sin Si Temple-Kuala Lumpur

The Xiansi Temple is a Taoist temple located near the Central Market in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The Sin Sze Ye Temple was built by the third Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur, Yap Ah Loy, to thank Sin Sze Ye and Si Sze Ye for their contributions in the Selangor Civil War. The two had fought side by side with Yap in this war, and after Sin Sze Ye’s death, he often appeared in his dreams, and eventually the enemy was defeated and victory was achieved. Xiansi Temple is the oldest Taoist temple in Kuala Lumpur As the oldest Chinese temple in Kuala Lumpur, the painted beams, statues, tablets, plaques, bells and drums inside are all architectural works that are more than a hundred years old. Among them, the wooden divination sticks and prescription sticks, the sacred seal of the Fourth Master of the Immortal placed in the temple, and the weapons used by Yap Tak Loy in the past are all precious historical relics. When the Xiansi Temple was first established, a parade was held in Kuala Lumpur on the 28th day of the first lunar month every year. The streets were filled with gongs and drums, creating a joyous and festive atmosphere, representing the farewell of the old and the welcoming of the new. The birthday of the Fourth Master of the Immortal is also celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month and the third day of the tenth lunar month. Every year on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, some people would go to the temple and crawl under the table in front of the altar. It is said that this would gain the protection and blessing of the Fourth Master Xian. What is more special is that on the day of Jingzhe Day (the third solar term in the 24 solar terms), the temple will hold an activity of "beating the villains", and people will also worship the White Tiger and press Tai Sui to pray for driving away bad luck.
