Che Gong, also known as the Grand Marshal Che, is a deity in Chinese folk beliefs

Origin and Background:
There are different versions of his origin. One version is that he was a brave general in the late Southern Song Dynasty. His native place was Wufu, Nanchang, Jiangxi. He was credited with suppressing the unrest in the Jiangnan area and was thus conferred the title of Grand Marshal.
Another story goes that during the invasion of the Mongolian army, the Song army was unable to resist and the Song Emperor Bing and his younger brother Zhao Bing, escorted by the Empress Dowager Yang and the Left Prime Minister Lu Xiufu, fled southward to Xin’an (including present-day Hong Kong). Che Gong accompanied them all the way and later passed away on the way. The local people, in memory of his loyalty and bravery, built a temple to worship him.

Worship and Temples:
In Hong Kong, there are three temples dedicated to Che Gong, namely, the Che Kung Temple in Sai Kung’s Ho Chung, the Yuen Long Wang Chau Two Saints Palace (where Che Gong is jointly worshipped with Hongsheng), and the Sha Tin Che Kung Temple.
The Sha Tin Che Kung Temple is a well-known one. It was built in the late Ming Dynasty and is a Grade II historical building in Hong Kong. It has a long history and is known as one of the four major temples in Hong Kong along with the Hollywood Road Man Mo Temple, Wong Tai Sin Temple, and Fat Tong Mun Temple.
Belief and Rituals:
People worship Che Gong for various reasons, such as praying for good luck, peace, and protection from disasters. The birthday of Che Gong is on the second day of the first lunar month. On this day, many people go to the Che Kung Temple to burn incense, pray, and draw fortune sticks. They also turn the windmills and beat the drums to pray for good fortune and a smooth year.
Symbolic Meaning:
Che Gong is regarded as a symbol of loyalty, bravery, and the ability to bring good fortune and protection to people. His image is often depicted as a powerful figure holding a weapon, with a resolute expression, symbolizing his unwavering spirit and the power to overcome difficulties.
