Why do people who go to sea believe in Mazu?
It is said that Mazu was originally named Maureen, and Mazu had devoted himself to saving the shipwreck. Therefore, the islanders of Meizhou Island set up the Mazu Tempel as a memorial and sacrifice. It can be seen that the people who went out to sea were deeply impressed by Mazu's selfless dedication and sincere thanks to Mazu. People's love for Mazu can be seen from the people who keep going to worship.
At the same time, through many historical and real maritime events, people at sea have deepened their faith in Mazu. There are many people sailing in the sudden change of weather and rough seas, and they are blessed by Mazu because of their beliefs and prayers. Under such circumstances, the legend of Mazu came into being. As we all know, the ancient sailing conditions were very backward, and the existence of Mazu legend gave sailors spiritual strength and inspired people to overcome the harsh natural conditions.
As more and more people believe in Mazu, Mazu's deeds have been further spread. The United Nations awarded Mazu the title of "Goddess of Peace" and included it in the intangible cultural heritage of mankind. Therefore, to a certain extent, some skeptics believe in the truth of Mazu's deeds, thus deepening the belief of people who go to sea in Mazu and thinking that Mazu is their patron saint.
I especially remember that Mazu's deeds were made into a TV series "Mazu" starring Tamia Liu, which made Mazu's deeds widely circulated again. People praised Mazu's selfless dedication and went to Mazu Tempel to pray for peace and health, or just met this great lady.
