細個嗰陣，爺爺為我主持開筆禮, 一支毛筆，一扎蔥，一扎芹菜，目的係祈求學業進步。天下間有誰父母不想望子成龍? 想自己將來的兒女聰明勤力，就要留意接下來為大家介紹歷史悠久，位於中環荷李活道嘅文武廟喇。My grandpa upheld a "First writing ceremony" for me when I was young. With a Writing Brush, Scallion and Celery, implicating to be clever and hard-working, which is so-called a blessing.
In the following, I would like to introduce the historical "Man Mo Temple" in Hollywood Road, Central.
顧名思義，“文”代表文事，“武”代表武功。廟內供奉“文曲星”和“武曲星”；文曲星又名文昌帝君，掌管考試，編寫文章和掌握學問的能力，負責功名和職位升遷事宜；而“武曲星”則是關帝，是忠義和武略的代表。
Man Mo Temple was built mainly for the worship of Man Cheong (God of Literature) and Mo Tai (God of Martial Arts).
文武廟係香港法定古蹟 ，曾兩度重修。1908年，政府制定《文武廟條例》，正式把文武廟交予東華三院管理。東華三院董事局每年仍會齊集廟內舉行秋祭典禮，酬拜文武二帝，同時為香港祈福。。
Man Mo Temple is the Department of monuments in Hong Kong. In 1908, it was officially entrusted to Tung Wah Hospital with the enactment of the Man Mo Temple Ordinance. Up till now, the Directors of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals still congregate in the Temple every year at the Autumn Sacrificial Rites in order to pay homage to Man Cheong and Mo Tai as well as to pray for Hong Kong.
文武廟歷史悠久，香火極為鼎盛，不少遊客慕名而來參拜；廟內更有不少文物，如大鼎、銅鐘、鑾輿、白鑞香爐和手工精緻華麗的神像木座等，都值得一看。它對本港具有重要的歷史和社會意義，反映出昔日香港華人的社會組織和宗教習俗。
With the long-establishing of Man Mo Temple, many of the foreigners were being attracted on account of its reputation to pay a visit.
