In folklore, the goddess Mazu is in charge of maritime safety, protecting the safety of one side of the people, avoiding disasters and taking refuge, and ensuring the prosperity of business, and is deeply respected by people. Then today's traditional festival will introduce the date of Mazu's birthday on 20 17.

Q: When is Mazu's birthday after 20 17? A: After 20 17, Mazu's birthday is April 20 19 17, Wednesday, March 23rd of the lunar calendar.

On March 23rd of the lunar calendar, it is the Christmas day of Mazu, a goddess of the sea who believes in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Taiwan Province provinces. According to legend, his real name is Maureen and his nickname is Mo Niang, so he is also called Mo Niang. He was born on March 23rd of the first year of Song Jianlong (960). Song Taizong died in the 4th year of Yongxi (987) on September 9th.

It is said that when Mazu was born, he studied medicine, treated people well, and was gentle and helpful. At the same time, live by the sea, be familiar with the water, rescue shipwrecks, predict the weather and navigate. At that time, people called her "Goddess" and "Dragon Lady". After her death, she was honored as Mazu, because according to folklore, she appeared to save shipwrecked merchant ships, fishing boats and pirates.

"Mazu Camp" is the birthday of Tianhou. Every "Mazu Birthday", activities in various places are very grand, called "Mazu Camp". On this day, the villages selected several groups of young people as "bearers" to carry Mazu's sedan chair. "Porters" are all strong people, mostly young men who have been married for many years without children or just got married.

During the Mazu camp, the gods were first invited to Mazu Tempel and then placed in sedan chairs. Then the horse's head sounded gongs to clear the way, followed by the big incense burner, followed by the Mazu sedan chair, followed by the immortals, and then the people dressed up as stories, trophies and banners. The crowds in the streets and lanes are like the tide of onlookers. Housewives must put incense tables on the roadside to worship, and families light long firecrackers to welcome them.

When Mazu passed by, the believers took three burning incense sticks and put them in the furnace in front of the procession. Onlookers, who have been married for many years, have no children and can't get a sedan chair, must squeeze to the front to touch the statue or the top of the sedan chair. If they can touch it, it means that you will have a baby this year.

When Mazu sends the idol back to the temple after visiting, it depends on which car god runs fast, and the fastest one is more auspicious for the New Year. Therefore, when approaching the temple, the sedan chair always runs wildly. At this time, even if the old, the weak and the sick take off their clogs, it is difficult to catch up with them in their hands. Therefore, there is a saying in Chaoshan: "You can't go to buddhist nun with clogs" (used to mean that you are poor in ability and can't keep up with others).
