Mazu, also known as Tian Fei, Tianhou, Tianmu and Tianmu, is a god believed by seafarers, travelers, businessmen and fishermen in past dynasties. In ancient times, before sailing on the sea, Mazu was sacrificed to pray for a safe wind, and Mazu was worshipped on board. Mazu's position as a full-time sea god was formally established in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was specially sealed in the Taiwan Province of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. All previous dynasties were canonized for the need of political rule or the economic purpose of maritime traffic and trade.

Later, because of the supernatural, he appeared at sea many times, and all the people who crossed the sea prayed for it. He is honored as the Virgin in the sky, with temples all over Haidian. Mazu belief has gone through 1000 years since it came into being. At first, it was a folk belief, then it became a Taoist belief, and finally it became the object of national sacrifice in past dynasties. Its long duration, wide spread and deep influence are unprecedented in other folk beliefs, which is incredible. With the respect and praise of emperors in past dynasties, Mazu was promoted from a folk god to an official patron saint of navigation, and his godhead became higher and higher, spreading more and more widely. From Putian to Quanzhou, and then to all corners of the country, everyone knows that no one can replace it. Speaking of Mazu's enlightenment, we should start with 1 122 (the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty) when Lu went to North Korea. Feel the magic and play it. Jiangkou Temple is dedicated, and (Hui Zong) gives Shunji Temple the forehead. ? After that, what was the reason why Mazu was blocked? God fog god prosperous spring hunger? ,?

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, after Shi Lang recovered Taiwan Province Province, please seal it, especially the Tianhou Palace. From 1 156 (twenty-six years in Shaoxing, Song Gaozong) to the Qing Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties conferred titles 36 times, and the title was changed from 2 words to 64 words. The country name established by his wife, princess and Tian Fei (Yongle period of Ming Dynasty) was Sidu, but it was named Tianhou in 1684 (23rd year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty) and was included in the national spring and autumn sacrificial ceremony, and its religion was Taoism. In Song Dynasty, Mazu protected the country and the people; in Yuan Dynasty, it escorted the sea by water and Thailand; in Ming Dynasty, it escorted foreign countries; and in Qing Dynasty, it helped to set up Taiwan, which became the goddess of the modern cross-strait United front.

Later, in the eleventh year of Tongzhi (1872), it was sealed again. After deliberation, the Ministry of Ritual believes that there are too many titles and font sizes, which is not enough to reflect solemnity. Supplement? Jiayou? Two words. The spread of Mazu's becoming a god was related to the developed overseas transportation in ancient Fujian, and it spread at home and abroad with the prosperous overseas transportation trade and immigration. Mazu was born in Meizhou Island, Putian, Fujian. The earliest historical data about Mazu is recorded in the book Reconstruction of Shunji Temple in Shengdunzu Temple written by Liao Pengfei in Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. This is handed down from generation to generation. Mazu surnamed Lin, a native of Meizhou Island, was born in an official family, and his ancestral home was Lin's family in Jiumu, a famous family in Putian, Fujian. Her original name is, Mazu's father is, and her mother is Wang. They do more good deeds and accumulate virtue. Mazu is a descendant of Jiumulin, a famous family in Putian.

One night, Wang dreamed that Master Guanyin kindly said to her. You can't have children, so I'll give you a pill. You deserve the gift from Tzu Chi. ? So Mazu's mother Wang became pregnant. When Wang was in labor, he saw a red light coming into the room from the northwest, which was dazzling and fragrant for a long time. I heard rumbling around again, like the roar of spring thunder, which slowly turned purple. Wang felt a vibration in his abdomen and Mazu was born. Because of the strange life, I love it very much. She was born at the full moon, and her father named her when she didn't cry? Silence? . When I was a teenager, I meditated at home one day and read poetry books. Occasionally I saw a strange Taoist passing by the door, and I had an epiphany and worshipped him as a teacher. Xuanwei Fazhen? . So, when I grow up, I can understand the secret method and predict the rest. If the villagers tell me about their illness, they will be willing to do so. ? All these mean that she has power all her life, and she is a teenager who yearns for Taoism, is good at divination, and is good at medical skills to solve people's worries; As an adult Mazu, these characteristics are even more prominent. She is determined to give alms to all beings and never marry. Her parents finally obeyed her wishes, enabling her to devote herself to charity. Because of her intensive study of medicine, she often treats people and teaches people to prevent diseases and eliminate disasters, which has won everyone's admiration and respect, and people all praise her advantages.

Maureen grew up by the sea, and she is also familiar with astronomy and meteorology, as well as water. There are many reefs in the strait between Meizhou Island and the mainland. Fishing boats and merchant ships wrecked in this sea area are often rescued by Maureen, so people say that she can cross the sea by seat. She will also tell the boatman in advance whether she can sail, so she said yes? Predicting forgiveness? , call her? Goddess? 、? Dragon girl? . In 1987 (the ninth day of September, 4th year of Yongxi, Song Taizong), it was a day when Maureen, who was only 28 years old, emerged and soared. On this day, people on Meizhou Island saw Mazu and his sisters climb Mount Mae. After bidding farewell to their loved ones, they rode in Changfeng, driving Xiangyun alone, soaring between the sky and the sun, and suddenly saw colorful clouds, which people could no longer see. Since then, sailors have often seen Maureen dressed in red to help those in distress and calling for help. Therefore, Mazu gods are gradually and universally enshrined on seagoing ships, praying for safe and smooth navigation. The villagers of Mazu, feeling the grace of saving their lives, built a temple on Meizhou Island in the same year (987), which is the Mazu Tempel of Meizhou. The ancestral hall was built in a.d. 1023? The expansion of 1032 (in the heyday) is more and more magnificent. 1August, 278, Yuan Shizu ordered Mazu to protect the country and the spirit, and helped Shanqing to help Tian Fei, thus consolidating Mazu's position as a full-time sea god and making it the god of the whole state. 1403? 1424 (Yongle period of Ming dynasty), navigator Zheng He came to Meiyu twice to preside over the imperial sacrifice ceremony and expand the temple.

In the whole year, millions of pilgrims from home and abroad came to Mazu Tempel to make pilgrimages. Every year, on March 23rd and September 9th of the lunar calendar, people on the island will hold various activities to celebrate Mazu. After thousands of years of spiritual communication, with the believers going abroad, Mazu gradually went from Meizhou to the world and became an international god beyond national boundaries, which had a great influence on East Asian marine culture and China coastal culture, and was called Mazu culture by scholars. As an ancient folk god, why can Mazu spirit be recognized, praised and revered by so many people at home and abroad and even in the world? An important reason here is that Mazu has gathered the traditional virtues and lofty spiritual realm of the Chinese nation.

In order to develop maritime trade, the Yuan government introduced Mazu to Quanzhou Port, where overseas traffic and trade were prosperous, and became a national sea god and spread overseas because of the development of waterway traffic and overseas traffic. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of Fujian people crossed Taiwan Province Province from Nanyang to make a living, and Mazu belief spread more widely overseas with the footprints of businessmen and immigrants.
