Che Kung was a military commander of the Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279) whose advantageous power for suppressing uprisings and plagues made him a household name. In popular folklore, it’s said that Che Kung escorted the Song dynasty’s last emperor on his escape to Sai Kung in what is now called the New Territories. His achievements led to him eventually becoming revered as a god.
This temple which honours Che Kung is located at Ho Chung in Sai Kung, and was built by the local community to serve the half-dozen villages in the Ho Chung valley. With feng shui woods located behind it, a river immediately in front, and well-preserved traditional design and architecture within it, it’s become one of the most auspicious traditional buildings in the New Territories.
The narrow roadway in front of the temple (which trails the river bank) was once the main route from Sai Kung market to Kowloon. It passed through the valley and then steeply up the hillside to Pik Uk and over to Kowloon City.

One who believes that there can be no proof of the existence of God but does not deny the possibility that God exists. I don't pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of, too.
Induction
The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things”; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals—“ists,” as he called them— who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

For vivi divination a name 15/7/2017
〖诗曰〗:湖海悠悠,孤舟浪头;来人末渡,残照山楼。
〖签释〗:个性使然,你干什么事情都爱孤军奋战,独来独往,虽然常常以获此小胜,却要比别人花费更多的精力和时间,而且残局还要靠别人来为你收拾。 这一次又是如此。你驾着一叶扁舟,航天茫茫无际的大海中独行,风云骤起,波涌浪翻。四顾茫茫,多么需要有人来给你援手,否则这小船有倾覆的危险,葬身鱼腹也未可知。 可喜的是,偏偏你有一个遇贵人搭救于危厄的命造,这回又应验了。将有三位以上的贵人,给你帮助。引你走出苦海的是这第三个─【来人末渡】。这人不但引领逃走出浪谷波峰,还使你能获得小小的利益。这个关键人物对你当然很重要喽,他的名姓中,有不少水的成份,偏旁部首中有三点水,请多加留意。
