A temple in Guangdong Province was awarded the first "Registration Number Certificate for Folk Belief Activity Venue".
On October 29, the Longyan Ancient Temple in Guanyin Mountain, Dapeng New District, Shenzhen City, received the registration number certificate from Huang Zhongxin, deputy director of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commission of Guangdong Province. The policy "Measures for the Administration of the Registration and Numbering of Sites for Popular Belief Activities of Guangdong Province" came into effect in early January this year, according to the United Front Work Department of the CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee.
Located in Guanyin Mountain, Wangmu Community, Dapeng Subdistrict, the temple is a well-known folk belief activity site, covering an area of 0.74 acres (3000 square meters) and rebuilt in 1908. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Dongjiang Column of the South Guangdong Anti-Japanese Armed Forces held many cadre training courses and set up battlefield hospitals, under the cover of the towering forests around the temple.
Huang put forward several requirements for the popular belief activity sites to be numbered in Shenzhen. Firstly, venues for religious activities should be registered and numbered in batches, once they met the requirements. The management systems for personnel, finance, public security, fire safety and civilized incense offering should be established in the venues. The second requirement was to build a platform to show the unique charm of folk beliefs across the country, which should improve the safety, the environment, the level of internal management, and the quality of folk cultural activities, and eliminate the commercialization of folk beliefs. The third condition was to explore "how folk beliefs could play an active role in enriching people's lives, promoting traditional culture, discovering Chinese red culture, promoting foreign exchanges, and maintaining harmony and stability, striving to make a contribution to the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area".
It is said that there are 30 places for folk belief activities in Dapeng New District.
In recent years, exploring the establishment of a long-term management mechanism for folk belief affairs, Guangdong Province has issued policy documents on governing folk beliefs and the "Measures for the Administration of the Registration and Numbering of Sites for Popular Belief Activities". The venues for folk belief activities with "a certain scale, wide influence, strong representation, and management standards" should be registered with numbers and receive classified governance.

据深圳市委统战部报道，2021年10月29日，深圳市大鹏新区观音山龙岩古寺举行了广东省民间信仰活动场所登记编号授牌仪式，广东省首个“民间信仰活动场所登记编号证”授予了观音山龙岩古寺。
观音山龙岩古寺是大鹏新区知名民间信仰活动场所，位于大鹏街道王母社区观音山，占地约3000平方米，重修于1908年。抗日战争期间，南粤抗日武装东江纵队凭借古寺四周的参天林木掩护，在此举办过多期干部训练班及设立战地医院。
授牌仪式上，广东省民族宗教委党组成员、副主任黄忠幸为观音山龙岩古寺颁发《广东省民间信仰活动场所登记编号证》。这是广东省出台民间信仰活动场所登记编号管理实施办法后，颁出的全省第一个民间信仰活动场所登记编号证书。
黄忠幸对深圳市民间信仰工作提出了几点要求：一是要分批进行登记编号，做到成熟一个、登记编号一个，并督促指导登记编号的民间信仰活动场所建立健全人员、财务、治安、消防、文明敬香等管理制度。二是要不断改善场所安全及环境面貌，提高内部管理水平，提升民俗文化活动品质，有效杜绝民间信仰领域商业化现象，成为面向全国展示民间信仰独特魅力的优秀平台。三是要积极探索民间信仰在丰富群众生活、弘扬传统文化、发掘红色文化、促进对外交流、维护和谐稳定等方面发挥积极作用的新路径、新经验，为服务粤港澳大湾区建设贡献力量。
据了解，大鹏新区目前民间信仰活动场所共有30处，其中葵涌办事处3处、大鹏办事处8处、南澳办事处19处。
近年来，广东省积极探索建立民间信仰事务长效管理机制，相继出台加强全省民间信仰工作政策文件和《广东省民间信仰活动场所登记编号管理办法》，明确对具有一定规模、影响广泛、代表性强、管理较为规范的予以登记编号，分类管理民间信仰活动场所。
