What god is Mazu?

Mazu is the incarnation of Molinyang, the sixth daughter of Lin Yuan, Meizhou, Putian, Fujian. She was born in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. She didn't hear her cry after she was born, so she was named, which means silent woman.

Mo Niang has shown magical functions since she was a child. She can read, read and understand. According to historical records, when she was a teenager, Taoist priests came and went to her house to see through the patient's illness. Besides, she is amazing and people respect her very much.
