Prince Jin was about 14 or 15 then and he objected to his father\u2019s suggestion in front of the other court officials, which placed King Ling in an awkward situation. Outraged, the King stripped Prince Jin of his royal title. The Prince was disappointed and foresaw the collapse of the Empire. He suffered from depression for 3 years before passing away in 549 BC at the age of 17, leaving behind his wife and a young son, Ji Zong Jing (\u59ec\u5b97\u656c).<\/p>\n<p>Soon after Prince Jin\u2019s death, King Ling also departed the mortal world. Prince Jin\u2019s younger brother, Prince Gui (\u592a\u5b50\u8cb4), ascended the Zhou throne as King Jing (\u5468\u666f\u738b). At a young age, Ji Zong Jing was appointed as the Premier (\u5927\u53f8\u5f92 \u2013 \u76f8\u7b49\u4e1e\u76f8\u4e4b\u8077) by his uncle King Jing.<\/p>\n<p>Well aware that his uncle was an inept ruler like his grandfather, and seeing that the Empire was collapsing, Zong Jing resigned from his post and left the Imperial court, escaping to Taiyuan City (\u592a\u539f\u5e02) in Shanxi Province (\u5c71\u897f\u7701) to take refuge. To avoid being recognised, he changed both his surname &amp; name.<\/p>\n<p>As he was a descendant of the Imperial family, he used the Chinese character \u201cWang\u201d (\u738b = king or \u201c Ong\u201d in Hokkien) \u00a0in place of his actual surname \u201cJi\u201d (\u59ec), and changed his name from \u201cZong Ji\u201d (\u5b97\u656c) to \u201cRong\u201d (\u69ae). Henceforth, he was known as Wang Rong (\u738b\u69ae), symbolising the royal lineage will be <strong><em>\u201cprosperous &amp; continuous.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Wang clan took root in Taiyuan City and the descendants multiplied over the generations. By the Tang Dynasty, there were many people with the surname Wang (Ong) \u00a0all over the Middle Kingdom (\u4e2d\u539f). As a result of this historic beginning, those of the surname Wang (Ong) refer to Taiyuan as their place of origin. This also explains how the name of <em>Taiyuan Shan<\/em> in Singapore came about.<\/p>\n<p>From 615 to 755 AD, after the rebellion by An Lushan (\u5b89\u797f\u5c71), southern China (especially the Fujian area) was in turmoil with constant strife between warlords. In 885 AD, 3 brothers, Wang Chao (\u738b\u671d), Wang Shenzhi (\u738b\u5be9\u77e5) &amp; Wang Shenggui (\u738b\u5be9\u90bd) recruited an army which drove into southern China and brought peace to the troubled region. To protect the common peoople from further suffering, the three brothers built a kingdom in Fujian which came to be known as the Min Kingdom (\u95a9\u570b). The establishment of the Ong clan in southern China could be traced to this victory.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3907\" style=\"width: 435px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan07_wangchao_eng.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3907\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3907\" title=\"ongclan07_wangchao_eng\" src=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan07_wangchao_eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan07_wangchao_eng.jpg 425w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan07_wangchao_eng-160x300.jpg 160w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan07_wangchao_eng-171x320.jpg 171w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3907\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eldest Brother Wang Chao<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3920\" style=\"width: 435px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan06_shenggui_eng1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3920\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3920\" title=\"ongclan06_shenggui_eng(1)\" src=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan06_shenggui_eng1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan06_shenggui_eng1.jpg 425w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan06_shenggui_eng1-160x300.jpg 160w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan06_shenggui_eng1-171x320.jpg 171w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3920\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Second brother Shen Gui<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3905\" style=\"width: 435px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan05_shengzhi_eng.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3905\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3905\" title=\"ongclan05_shengzhi_eng\" src=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan05_shengzhi_eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan05_shengzhi_eng.jpg 425w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan05_shengzhi_eng-160x300.jpg 160w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/ongclan05_shengzhi_eng-171x320.jpg 171w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3905\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Youngest brother Shen Zhi<\/p><\/div>\n<p>During the late Ming &amp; early Qing Dynasties, many Hokkien Ong clansmen left their homeland in Southern China for Southeast Asia.

This was the \u201cTemple of the King of Min\u201d or Min Wang Ci (\u95a9\u738b\u7960). After the temple was constructed, Wang Youhai (\u738b\u53cb\u6d77) set off for Fuzhou in Fujian Province in China (\u4e2d\u570b\u798f\u5efa\u7701\u798f\u5dde\u5e02), where he brought back the ancestral urn and paintings of the three Wang brothers who established the Min Kingdom from Zhong Yi Wang Temple in Qing Cheng Si Street (\u6176\u57ce\u5bfa\u8857\u5fe0\u61ff\u738b\u5edf).<\/p>\n<p>In 1875, the Hokkien Ong Ancestral Temple (\u95a9\u738b\u7960) was set up to assist Hokkien Ong clan members. In 1944, the name of the association was changed to Hokkien Ong Temple General Association (\u95a9\u738b\u7960\u516c\u6703) and in 1970, this was changed again to Singapore Hokkien Ong Clansmen General Association (\u958b\u95a9\u738b\u6c0f\u7e3d\u6703).<\/p>\n<p>From 1982 to 1990, the land around Seh Ong Hill was developed and some vacant land was acquired by the government. Using the compensation which amounted to approximately 9 million dollars, the clan bought a piece of land in Bukit Batok Street 23 where the Hokkien Ong Clan Temple was rebuilt. The construction was completed in 1999 and then President Mr Ong Teng Cheong was invited to be the Officiating Officer for the grand opening of the new temple on 2 May 1999.<\/p>\n<p>Till today, the Hokkien Ong clan still conducts annual ceremonies for the Spring and Autumn honouring their ancestors in Singapore and as well as in China. it allows the clan to remember the credit &amp; merit they had accumulated in building the \u201cHokkien Ong Kingdom\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201c<\/em><em>The trees have roots, and the water, its source.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong><em>Dedicated to the Ong clan &amp; its ancestors<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrowntomb.blogspot.com\/2011\/11\/blog-post.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bukitbrowntomb.blogspot.com\/2011\/11\/blog-post.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>History of Clan Associations in Singapore Vol. 2, SFCCA 2005.<\/p>\n<p>One Hundred Years&#8217; History of Chinese in Singapore\u00a0 \u65b0\u52a0\u5761\u534e\u4eba\u767e\u5e74\u53f2\u3002<\/p>\n<p>For more of the Ong connection at Bukit Brown &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.org\/a-great-hill-for-us-to-remember\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bukitbrown.org\/a-great-hill-for-us-to-remember<\/a> and\u00a0 A Grand Repose.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seh Ong Hill &nbsp; Introduction The Bukit Brown Cemetery Complex mapped out by Mok Ly Yng\u00a0 based on the land lot tracings from\u00a0this map shows a surviving area of\u00a0 approximately 390 acres.
