Hung Shing (洪聖), also known as Hung Shing Ye (洪聖爺) and Tai Wong (大王), was a government official in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) named Hung Hei (洪熙) serving Pun Yue in present-day Guangdong, China.
His festival (洪聖誕) is held on the 13th day of the 2nd month in Chinese calendar.
Famous quotes containing the word hung:
“There was a green branch hung with many a bell
When her own people ruled this tragic Eire;
And from its murmuring greenness, calm of Faery,
A Druid kindness, on all hearers fell.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
