As a fierce military general whose signature weapon is a crescent blade, he is praised and worshipped for his loyalty, valour, and integrity, all of which are qualities that people in different occupations still look up to nowadays. Kuixing is seen as a celestial being representative of the Chinese antique astrology. While he is associated with the Big Dipper within its constellation Ursa Major, he also symbolizes the western White Tiger region, a quadrant of the constellation called the 28 lunar mansions that based its system in the division of the ecliptic movement, an astronomical structure that corresponds to the zodiacal constellation of the western culture. Myths have been told that Kuixing is the spirit that oversees civil-service exams, thus a popular deity amongst scholars and students in the past. A typical statue of Kuixing depicted standing on a dragonfish, with one arm raised holding a pen and the other holding a dipper - a gesture that denotes coming in first in exams, was previously kept in the Man Ming Temple. It was exhibited at the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre in 2017, and was later transferred to and enshrined in Liu Man Shek Tong Ancestral Hall in Sheung Shui Wai under the possession of the Liu families.

Man Ming Temple is a three-bay structured temple that is relatively rare in Hong Kong. It is deduced that only bourgeois families could afford to build this kind of settlement back in the days. The structure consists of three major compartments - an entrance hall that transitions to an open courtyard, which connects the main hall where alters of the aforementioned deities were revered, and lastly a chamber at the back that was most probably used as storage. Roofless hallways on both sides

of the main hall helps to create better ventilation and bring natural light into the building, as well as a convenient passage that leads directly to the back chamber. The overall structure of the temple was constructed of green bricks, with its pitched roof supported by timber rafter and covered in clay tiles. Two Chinese characters that say “Man Ming” were carved onto a granite plate that was displayed over the door frame on the façade, while elaborated mouldings of flowers and dragons were plastered along the walls as ornaments.

The building was assessed as a Grade III heritage by the Antiquities Advisroy Board in 2010. Although it is now mostly collapsed due to general negligence and the damage caused by typhoon Mangkhut in 2018, the ruins of the temple has inadvertently merged with a banyan tree that thrives within the structure, fabricating a peculiarly symbiotic interaction between the nature and a man-made establishment. Being left derelict, it has become increasingly obvious that any future restoration work of the temple will only get harder as time passes by. With hope, villagers still wish it can someday be rehabilitated and considered as a declared monument so as to secure its statutory protection.
