建於二百多年前，侯王廟究竟供奉誰人，說法不一。晚清學者陳伯陶指該廟供奉的侯王爲南宋功臣楊亮節，另一說法認爲侯王是一位曾爲宋帝昺治癒失眠症的楊姓村民。還有人認爲侯王是曾協助宋兵抗元的楊姓人家祖先。侯王廟大殿門前兩旁放了十六支鎗茅，桿端尖刃有精美妝飾，其中八支是八仙法器，另外八支則不詳。畫完大殿門廊，我選擇畫了八支較精美但不知其妝飾所指的鎗茅。
The temple was built more than 200 years ago. It was thought that the temple was dedicated to a war general named Yeung Leung Jit but no one is sure nowadays. There are a lot of historic relics inside the temple. After sketching the entrance corridor, I included the spearheads of eight of the sixteen beautifully-crafted spears placed on both sides of the temple corridor. They might be symbols depicting the Eight Immortals often times depicted in Classical Chinese literature but I'm not completely sure.
