How did Quanzhou Mazu culture penetrate into Taiwan Province Province?

1680, Shi Lang, the Jinghai Hou of the Qing Dynasty, ordered Taiwan Province Province to conquer the East and unify the motherland. He attacked separately in three ways and finally won. According to Quanzhou well-known Liu Ying's "Quanzhou Fu Zhi":

Shi Lang, the general of China Dynasty, was the second, and God helped him succeed.

After pacifying Taiwan Province Province, Shi Lang expressed his gratitude to Mazu, wrote a letter to Emperor Kangxi asking for a seal, and recounted the miracles of Mazu's assistance. 1684, Kangxi named Mazu "Tianhou Palace to protect the country, protect the people, shine brilliantly, be loyal to Hong Ren and give alms", and Tianfei Palace was renamed "Tianhou Palace".

Later, in order to repay Mazu's kindness, General Shi Lang rebuilt and expanded the Tianhou Palace. During Shi Lang's pacification of Taiwan Province Province and reconstruction of Tianhou Palace, he also led Quanzhou people to immigrate to Taiwan Province Province on a large scale for three times.

1723, the tablet of "Zhao Shen Sea Watch" written by Emperor Yongzheng was hung in the temple, and it was rebuilt after the Qianlong period. Later, Emperor Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty added Mazu as the "Tiannv", and the Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou was built on a large scale.

In the Qing Dynasty, the upsurge of private businessmen's trade and emigration to Taiwan Province Province also rose further in Quanzhou Port, and the Mazu belief culture in Quanzhou also spread more widely with the footprints of Quanzhou businessmen and immigrants.

1732 and 1760, the Qing government banned the sea twice. At that time, many Quanzhou people flew eastward and arrived in Taiwan Province Province. Because of this, many residents in Taiwan Province Province are from Quanzhou. These Quanzhou people, while coming to Taiwan Province Province, also brought Mazu culture to Taiwan Province Province.

Mazu in Taiwan Province Province can be basically divided into Meizhou Mazu, Quanzhou Mazu and Tongan Mazu, which are branches of Meizhou Mazu, Quanzhou Mazu and Tongan Mazu respectively.

Judging from the level of Taiwan Province and Mazu Tempel, they all belong to the distribution of gods in mainland Mazu Tempel. First, holding Mazu symbols or incense from the mainland to Taiwan Province Province for offering, which is called "distributing incense"; Second, from the mainland holding the statue of Mazu to Taiwan Province Province for worship, called "two places at once". They are probably due to the large-scale migration from Fujian to Taiwan Province Province in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Among these immigrants, Quanzhou people have always been the main force in developing Taiwan Province Province. Their development in Taiwan Province Province is from south to north and from west to east. Therefore, the order of Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province Province is the same.

From 65438 to 0709, Quanzhou native Chen developed Taipei, which was closely related to the construction of Tianhou Palace in Taipei. 1720, the time for Renlinlie in Quanzhou to develop Hsinchu was similar to that for the construction of Changhe Palace in Hsinchu. During the Daoguang period, the time for the Tseng family to develop Quanzhou Taoyuan was almost the same as that for the local Renhai Palace.

It can be seen that most of Mazu belief culture in Taiwan Province Province is the continuation of Mazu belief culture in Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou.

There are more than 800 Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province Province, and Mazu believers account for 3/4 of the total population. Taiwan Province Province is the most prosperous place of Mazu belief.

The halls, mountain gates, dragon columns, stone walls and lintels of these temples, as well as the figures, flowers, birds and animals carved on them, are masterpieces of Quanzhou craftsmen. It also proves that many Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province are the gods of Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou.

Because of the close relationship between Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province and Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou, the Museum of Fujian-Taiwan Relations was built in Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou.

The Museum of Fujian-Taiwan Relations History is a special museum that reflects the historical relationship between Chinese mainland, Fujian and Taiwan. There are a large number of precious historical and folk cultural relics in the museum, and many large-scale exhibitions have been held, such as "Fujian and Taiwan Folk Art Exhibition", "Quanzhou Ancient and Modern Calligraphy Exhibition" and "Fujian and Taiwan Folk Photography Exhibition".

Tianhou Palace in Taiwan Province Province has long been associated with Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou. In the Tianhou Temple in both places, there are plaques given to each other decades ago.

In order to promote cross-strait cultural exchanges, during the Lantern Festival every year, the Tianhou Temple in Quanzhou will hold a "turtle begging ceremony". The big "rice turtle" that prayed for blessings was donated by believers on both sides of the strait. Believers in Taiwan Province Province also went to the Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou to pray.
