Mazu, also known as Tian Fei, Tianhou, Notre Dame and Tianmu, is a god believed by ocean merchants, boatmen, sailors, tourists, businessmen and fishermen in past dynasties, especially in Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Taiwan Province and Southeast Asia, and Mazu Tempel has been built in many coastal areas. Mazu's real name is Maureen, and her nickname is Mo Niang, so it is also known as Moline Niang. She was born in Putian County in 960 (March 23rd, Song and Yuan Dynasties) and died in 987 (September 4th, September 9th). Mazu, revered as the goddess of the sea, is also known as the queen mother and queen mother. The Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty praised Mazu many times, with titles ranging from "Madame", "Tian Fei", "Tianhou" to "Tiannv", all of which were included in national festivals. From Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, emperors conferred titles 36 times. Taoist titles: Fu Dou, Xiao, Chun Ling, Fu Ji, Protecting the Country, Protecting the People, Miaoling, Zhaoying, Puji, Tian Fei and Hong Ren. Mazu's life Mazu is a descendant of Jiumulin, a famous family in Putian. Mazu was born in Putian County, Qingyuan Army (now Quanzhou) in Southern Tang Dynasty, and he was from Meizhou Island in Putian County. Mazu lived mainly in Putian County, Pinghai (now Quanzhou). In 964, Qingyuan Army (now Quanzhou) was changed to Pinghai (now Quanzhou), and Putian native Chen was appointed as the ambassador to Pinghai. Chen still governs Quanshui (including Putian), Zhangzhou and Pinghai. Putian and Xianyou counties are under the jurisdiction of Pingshui Division. In 978, wuyue was destroyed by the Song Dynasty. Chen returned to the Song Dynasty. At this point, the spring (including Putian) and Zhangzhou managed by Putian Chen officially returned to the Song Dynasty, and the whole of Fujian was incorporated into the territory of the Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Song Dynasty (979), the border of Putian County, Xianyou County (now Quanzhou) and Yongfu County of Fuzhou (now Yongtai County) and a part of the border of Fuqing were located in Xinghua County. In the same year, it was changed to Taiping Army, directly under the two south roads in southwest Zhejiang, and under the jurisdiction of Putian, Xianyou and Xinghua counties. The military government is also located in Xinghua County. In 980, Taiping Army was changed to Xinghua Army. Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou is the earliest existing Mazu Tempel in the southeast coast of China. Mazu was born in the first year of Stegosaurus in Song Taizu (AD 960), and his grandfather Fu Lin lived in Fujian on March 3rd. Father Lin (only Yin), in the early Song Dynasty, was appointed as the capital of supervision. Before she was born, her parents had given birth to five daughters and a son, hoping to have another son, so they burned incense early to pray for our son, but the baby was a baby girl, and their parents were a little disappointed. The night before the baby girl was born, neighbors saw the meteor turn from the northwest sky into a red light, dazzling, and dyed the rocks on the island red. Therefore, parents think that this baby girl must not be an idle girl, and she is particularly fond of her. Because she never cried from birth to the second month, she was named Moline, and her parents also called her Moline Niang. Maureen was cleverer than other sisters when she was a child. When she was eight years old, she was inspired by her teacher. She can not only read aloud from memory, but also understand the meaning of words. When she grows up, she is determined to do good deeds and help others all her life and never marry. Her parents obeyed her wishes. She is devoted to charity and public welfare. She has been studying medicine, treating people and teaching people to prevent and eliminate disasters. People praised her. She is calm and helpful. As long as she can help the villagers solve their problems, she is willing to do it, and often guides people to avoid misfortune. People are willing to discuss with her and ask her for help when they are in trouble. Maureen grew up by the sea. She also knows astronomy and meteorology, and is familiar with 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 "sit on the ground and cross the sea". She also predicted the weather changes and informed the boatman in advance whether she could sail, so it was said that she could "predict the disaster" and called her "Goddess" and "Dragon Lady". In 987 (the ninth day of September, 4th year of Yongxi, Song Taizong), Maureen died at the age of 28. On this day, people on Meizhou Island have a legend that they saw a colorful cloud Ran Ran rising in Meishan. Since then, sailors have said that it is common for Maureen to wear red clothes at sea to help those in distress and call for help. Therefore, Mazu gods are gradually and universally enshrined on seagoing ships, praying for safe and smooth navigation. Mazu spent his life in the sea, helping the poor and saving many fishing boats and merchant ships in the stormy waves; She resolutely refused to marry compassion and devoted herself to doing good and saving the world. According to historical records, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty praised Mazu many times, and titles ranging from "Madame", "Tian Fei", "Tianhou" to "Tiannv" were listed in the national memorial ceremony. As soon as Mazu died, the villagers felt the kindness of saving lives before his death. In the same year, a temple was built on Meizhou Island. This is the famous Meizhou Mazu Tempel. The ancestral hall was expanded in 1023- 1032 (during the reign of the sage) and became more and more magnificent. 1403-1424 (Yongle period of Ming dynasty), the navigator Zheng He came to Meiyu twice to preside over the imperial sacrifice ceremony and expand the temple. By the time of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, a "Dragon Palace at Sea" with five groups of buildings had been formed. Unfortunately, the original magnificent buildings have been abandoned, and the existing original buildings are only the small-scale "Moline Parents Temple". In recent years, the ancestral temple in Meizhou has undergone a lot of restoration and construction work, and invested 654.38 billion yuan to build a new Mazu Tempel, which is magnificent and is praised by the world as the "Potala Palace on the Sea". Now many Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province Province and Southeast Asia are separated from Mazu Tempel in Meizhou, Putian. Meizhou Ancestral Temple is the common name and honorific title of Meizhou Mazu Tempel, and it is a holy place in the hearts of Mazu believers all over the world. Meizhou Mazu Tempel is located in Meizhou in the middle and west of Taiwan Province Strait, and belongs to Putian City, Fujian Province. It is more than 40 kilometers southeast of Putian City, and it can be reached by ferry from Wen Jia Wharf in 20 minutes. It is 20 nautical miles east of Wuqiu Island (Wuqiu originally belonged to Putian County, Fujian Province, but now it is under the jurisdiction of kinmen county City, Taiwan Province Province). Meizhou Ancestral Temple is the ancestral temple of more than 2,000 Mazu Tempel (palaces) in the world. After thousands of years of spiritual communication, with the believers going abroad, Mazu gradually moved from Meizhou to the world and became an international god who crossed national boundaries. In addition to Upper Mazu Tempel on Meizhou Island in Putian, Tianhou Palace in Qing 'an, Ningbo, Tianhou Palace in Tianjin, Mazu Pavilion in Macau, Chaotian Palace in Beigang, Taiwan Province and Mazu Tempel in Lukang are all famous Tianhou Palace temples in China. In this passage, Mazu ascended to heaven as a god because Mo Niang was very kind to people before her death. After she ascended to heaven, she was honored as the goddess of the sea by the coastal people and set up a temple for sacrifice. Later, she appeared repeatedly at sea, and all the people who crossed the sea prayed for her. She is honored as the "psychic goddess", and temples are all over Haidian. Mazu belief has gone through 1000 years since it came into being. As a folk belief, it has a long duration, a wide spread and a deep influence, which other folk worship does not have. The worship and praise of Mazu by emperors in past dynasties has promoted Mazu from a folk god to an official patron saint of navigation, with a higher and higher godhead and wider spread. From Puyi area to all corners of the country, it has reached the point where no one knows and no one can replace it. When it comes to Mazu's enlightenment, it began at the time of 1 122 (the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty) when Lu went to Korea. The temple was built at the mouth of the river, and (Hui Zong) gave it to Shunji Temple. "Later, the reason for Mazu's seal was" fog and hunger in spring "and" God helps burn bandits "(Volume II of Meizhou Island Records). 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 title was established by "Lady", "Princess" and "Tian Fei" (Yongle period of Ming Dynasty), and 1648 (23rd year of Qing Emperor Kangxi) was named "Tianhou". And included in the national sacrificial ceremony, for the spring and autumn festival. Therefore, the folk belief in Mazu has become more and more fixed, and the status of "Poseidon" has become more and more stable. For thousands of years, Putian has preserved many folk customs about Mazu, reflecting the particularity of Mazu belief. His belief in manners and customs, Mazu's words and deeds, personality and so on were gradually absorbed by the people, forming many customs. Editing this historical position, Mazu Meizhou Ancestral Temple received 36 national sacrifices in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its longest title is "Protecting the country, protecting the people, protecting the spirit, showing the sincere feelings of Hong Ren Puji, showing the praise of the gods, showing the praise of the gods, showing kindness, showing kindness, helping An Lan to make a gift, pass on the good news, pass on the good news, celebrate Jingyang West Direct Army, benefit Zhou, and protect Cao Baotai. Mazu belief is very common in Taiwan Province province, and more than one third of Taiwan Province compatriots believe in Mazu. There are 5 10 Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province province, including 1 16 in Tainan. They have many names, some of which are Tianfei Palace, Tianhou Palace and Mazu Tempel. Some are called Tianhou Palace, Tianhou Palace and Notre Dame altar; Others are called Wenyuantang, Chaotian Palace, Shuangcige, An Lan Hall, Zhongxing Palace Cuo, Fenyang Hall and Tibiao Pavilion. Lin's relatives in Fujian, Taiwan Province, Guangdong and Southeast Asia all call Mazu "Gu", "Gu" and "Tian Xian". According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 200 million followers of Mazu in the world, and there are more than170,000 followers in Taiwan Province province alone/view/view/21337.html.
