Mazu, also known as Tian Fei, Tianhou, Tianmu and Mother, is the common belief of boatmen, sailors, tourists, businessmen and fishermen in past dynasties. In ancient times, sailing at sea was often attacked by wind and waves, and the ship sank and people died. The safety of the crew has become the main problem for seafarers, who place their hopes on the blessing of the gods. Before the ship sets sail, it is necessary to worship Tian Fei, pray for the safe blessing of the wind, and set up a sacred position for Tian Fei on the ship. According to legend, Mazu's real name is Moline, posthumous title Mo Niang, so it is also called Moline Niang. It was born on March 23rd, the first year of Song Jianlong (960). Song Taizong died in the 4th year of Yongxi (987) on September 9th. [Edit this paragraph] The spread of Mazu belief Mazu, as a folk praying for the protection of the sea god, has been spread for more than 1000 years since the Song, Jingyuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the temples dedicated to Mazu in coastal provinces and cities of China, there are Mazu Tempel, as well as other provinces except Qinghai, Xinjiang and Tibet. The Integration of Mazu Palace and Temple contains the records of articulated Mazu Tempel in more than 500 counties and cities in 30 provinces and cities (including Hong Kong and Macao). With the development of navigation and transportation in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, China people have traveled all over the world, including Japan, Southeast Asia, Canada, the United States and even Paris. Mazu believes in Ryukyu, the Tianhou Palace in ancient Ryukyu, Japan. According to documents, it was introduced to Ryukyu in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty in14th century (1368 ~ 1398). There are three places in Mazu Tempel of Ryukyu, namely Tianfei Palace in Kumi Village, Tianfei Palace in Naha and Tianhou Palace in Kumi Island. Poseidon traveled to Japan. China and Japan have a long history. There are three Datang temples in Nagasaki, Japan-Nanjing Temple, Zhangzhou Temple and Fuzhou Temple. The biggest feature of Mazu Hall in Nagasaki, Japan is that the merchant "Chamber of Commerce" first built Mazu Hall, and then expanded it into a temple dedicated to Buddha and Mazu, in which Mazu was dedicated. Its purpose is to pray for prosperous business and peace at sea. At the same time, using the festival activities of praying to God to strengthen unity with Japan has had a far-reaching impact on Japanese folklore. Later, Japanese merchant ships also regarded the shrine of Mazu in China as the protector of ships sailing at sea. Mazu belief in Southeast Asia, with overseas Chinese crossing south, Mazu belief is also spread all over Southeast Asia. In Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, there are temples dedicated to Mazu. Among them, Malaysia and Singapore are typical. For example, Qingyun Pavilion and Baoshan Pavilion in Malacca, Malaysia, and Guanyin Pavilion (Guangfu Temple) in Penang, Malaysia are all dedicated to Mazu. Mazu is also enshrined in Tianfu Palace in Singapore, Amama Palace in Lincuo Port and Lam Kowloon Hall. Mazu is also enshrined in the halls of geographical associations in Malaysia, Singapore and other places. Mazu belief in Taiwan Province, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan Province Province, Hong Kong and Macau is mostly handed down from the southeast coast of China, especially Fujian. Such as Guandi Sheng Jun, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Shimizu, Baosheng and Mazu. Empress Mazu has always been regarded as the patron saint of the sea by fishermen and navigators from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, because it occupies an important position in the eyes of compatriots in Taiwan Province Province and has the most far-reaching influence. Over the past 1000 years, especially since Song Huizong, emperors of all dynasties have admired Mazu, and Mazu belief has spread more widely in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, which complements the Yuan Dynasty's efforts to protect the country and love the people, protect Thailand through water transportation, the Ming Dynasty's Zheng He and Wang Jinghong's voyages to the West, and the Qing Dynasty's Shi Lang's pacification of Taiwan Province Province. Mazu Tempel, Taiwan Province Province. According to statistics, by the end of 1930, there were 335 Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province province; 1954 increased to 384; According to the book Origin of Gods in Taiwan Province Province, there are more than 900 temples dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Taiwan Province Province. Mazu temples have different names, including Tianfei Palace, Tianhou Palace, Mazu Tempel, Tianhou Palace, Tianhou Palace, Notre Dame altar, Wenyuantang, Chaotian Palace, Zhenlan Palace, An Lan Hall, Shuangcige and Zhongxing Palace. Mazu has different names because it comes from different places in Chinese mainland, such as Xinghua Ma of Xinghua Army, Wenling Mazu of Quanzhou, Qingxi Ma of Longxi and Yintong Ma of Tongan. Among the Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province Province, Tainan has 64 seats, followed by Kaohsiung with 60 seats, Pingtung and Taichung with 49 seats, Yunlin County with 48 seats and Changhua County with 42 seats. It can be seen that the logistics department in Mazu Tempel, Taiwan Province has been increasing since the Qing Dynasty, and its scale has become increasingly spectacular after several constructions. At present, the "Bid Pavilion" in Magong Town, Penghu is the earliest among all Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province Province. Although there is no record of the founding date of Penghu Mazu Tempel, according to Japanese scholars' research, they were all founded during the Dade period of the Yuan Dynasty (1297 ~ 1307), when a market called "Mazu Miyagi" was opened in front of the temple. Most of the earlier Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province Province was separated from Meizhou ancestral temple to Taiwan Province. During the period from Jiaqing to Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1796 ~ 1908), the maritime trade in Taiwan Province Province was prosperous and the economy developed, and many large-scale Tianhou Palace in Tainan emerged. In recent years, an open-air Mazu statue has been built in Tianhou Temple in southern Zhunan. Up to now, there are 565,438+00 large Mazu Tempel in Taiwan Province Province. In Mazu Tempel, there are four horses, namely, Zhendian Horse, Dianping Horse, Dianping Horse and Meizhou Horse. Except authentic horses, other Mazu statues can be used in the annual birthday parade in turn. Especially in the early days of Mazu Tempel, there was a ceremony of "worshipping from afar" on the birthday, that is, the ceremony of "kneeling three times and knocking nine times" at the Meizhou ancestral temple in Putian. This custom fully shows the profound significance of Taiwan Province compatriots' eternal nostalgia for the mainland. [Edit this paragraph] The Legend of Mazu There are many legends in Mazu's life. According to Tianhou Zhi, there are 15 stories, while according to Tian Fei's Epiphany Record, there are 16 stories. They are: a: Lai Island is evergreen: there is a small island next to Meizhou Island. It is said that one day, when Mazu was visiting the island, he scattered vegetables on the ground. Soon, vegetables miraculously grew up and flowers were everywhere. Then, grow naturally without farming every year. The local people regard fairy flowers as flowers. In the future, people will call this place "Caiziyu". B: Pray for rain to help the people: According to legend, when Mazu was twenty-one, there was a drought in Putian, and all the people in the county said that Mazu could not save the disaster. Therefore, Yinqin County turned to Mazu for help. Mazu prayed for rain and said that it would rain heavily in Renqi. On that day, there was not a clear sky in the morning, and there was no sign of rain at all. As soon as the application time arrived, suddenly the dark clouds rolled and the rain poured down. After a long drought, the earth regained its former vitality. C: It is said that one day when Mazu was alive, there was a storm at sea and Mazu wanted to cross the sea. There is a boat on the shore, but there is no paddle or canopy on it. Besides, the boatman was afraid to sail because of the heavy wind and waves. Mazu said to the boatman, just get on the boat. Have a straw mat hung on the mast as a sail at once. The ship sailed out of Shanghai, braving the wind and waves and speeding away. D: It is said that when Mazu was alive, there was a doorknob on the west side of Meizhou Island (today's Wen Jia). Once, a merchant ship was blown by a strong wind on the nearby sea and hit a rock. Sea water flooded into the cabin and was about to sink. The villagers were afraid to go to the rescue because of the wild waves. At this critical moment, Matsu Shinshou found some grass under his feet and threw it into the sea. The grass turned into a row of big sequoias, which were attached to the sinking merchant ship, so that the merchant ship was spared from sinking and the people on board were spared. E: Surrender to Er Shen: According to legend, when Mazu was twenty-three, there was Er Shen in the northwest of Meizhou, one was clairvoyant and the other was clairvoyant. Er Shen frequents and harms the people. People prayed to Mazu to punish Er Shen. In order to surrender to Er Shen, Mazu went up the mountain to work with the village girls. In this way, after more than ten days, Er Shen finally appeared. When Er Shen approached, Mazu shouted loudly. Er Shen saw Mazu's great power and turned into a fire. Mazu brushed the silk handkerchief with his hand. Suddenly, the wind blew. Er Shen was confused, so he was abused. Mazu dared Er Shen not to leave the iron axe, which Er Shen could no longer afford. Two years later, Ershen's sea caused trouble again, very badly. Mazu used the magic spell to summon the wind and flying stones, leaving Er Shen with nowhere to escape. Er Shen surrendered and was willing to work for Mazu, so Mazu accepted Er Shen as a general. F: Flood relief: It is said that when Mazu was 26 years old, it rained continuously in the first half of that year, and Fujian and Zhejiang provinces suffered greatly from floods. At that time, local officials called in the imperial court, and the emperor made an order to pray for rain on the spot, but the prayer remained the same. The local people asked Mazu to relieve the injury. Mazu said: disasters are caused by people accumulating evil. Since the emperor intends to relieve the harm for the people, I should pray for God's forgiveness. So I burned incense and prayed, and suddenly there was a strong wind, and I saw a dragon flying away in the clouds, and the sky was clear. That year, the people also got a bumper harvest, and the people were grateful to Mazu, so the provincial officials asked the court for praise and praised Mazu. G: Saving Father and Finding Brother: It is said that one autumn day when Mazu was sixteen years old, when his father and brother sailed across the sea to the north, the sea was very rough and the ship was damaged, which was in critical condition. At this time, Mazu is weaving at home. Suddenly, she closed her eyes and held the loom with all her strength. Her mother saw this and woke her up. When Mazu woke up, he accidentally dropped the shuttle to the ground. Seeing the shuttle fall to the ground, Mazu cried: Dad was saved, and my brother died! Soon someone came to report that the situation was true. After my brother fell into the sea, Mazu accompanied his mother to the seaside to look for it. Suddenly, a group of aquatic animals gathered on the rough sea, and everyone was very worried. Mazu knew that the aquarium had come to meet her on the orders of the water god. At this time, the sea became clear, and his brother's body floated up, so he transported the body back. Since then, on Mazu's birthday, before the fish gather around the cocoon at night, the dawn has dispersed, and this day has also become a day for local fishermen to rest their boats. H: Please treat the disease: It is said that during Mazu's lifetime, the plague was prevalent in Putian, and the whole family in Yin County was also infected with the disease. Someone told Mazu in Yinxian that he has the magic power to solve problems. So Princess Yin visited Mazu personally, thinking that he was not a bad official at ordinary times, but a foreign official, told him to drink Yui with nine waters and put spells on the door. County Yin went back and followed the instructions, and recovered in a few days. Mazu I: According to legend, when Mazu was alive, there were two monsters in Meizhou, Jia Ying and Jia You, who frequented and harmed the people. One day, a boatman was entangled in a monster and the boat was going to sink. When Mazu saw it, he turned into a cargo ship and went to the rescue. Jia You saw the cargo ship coming and immediately came to chase it. Mazu chanted a spell to surrender. Jiayou immediately kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and Mazu took him into Shuique Xianban. In order to subdue Jiaying, Mazu intends to walk alone on the mountain road. Jiaying thought it was just a folk beauty, so she came to invade with ulterior motives. Jia Ying saw something bad, waved his hand and Mazu ran away. After a year, Jiaying came out to harm people again. Mazu said, "If this monster does not return to the right path, it will surely shock the world." So he told the villagers to burn incense and fast, take a boat out to sea unexpectedly and surrender to Jiaying. Mazu also accepted Jia as a member of the water finch fairy class. J: It is said that Mazu 16 years old went out to play with a group of female companions. When she was putting on makeup in the well, a man of God with a group of immortals rushed into the well with a pair of bronze symbols and gave them to her. The girlfriends were scared away when they played together, but Mazu accepted the bronze amulet and didn't doubt it. After Mazu accepted the bronze symbol, she was well informed and used her magic to ward off evil spirits, which made her magical power more and more magical, so that she could often travel around the world to save people from emergencies. People call her "Goddess" and "Dragon Lady". K: Mazu's birthday: Mazu's father, Lin Weijun (taboo), and his mother, Wang Shi, do more good deeds and accumulate virtue. But when I was in my forties, I had a boy and five girls. But I'm worried that a son can't carry on the family line, so I often burn incense and pray for another son. But the piety of the couple touched Guanyin in the South China Sea. One night, Guanyin had a dream for the king and said to him, "Your family has accumulated virtue and done good deeds. Now I will give you a pill, which is worthy of Tzu Chi's gift. " Soon, Wang became pregnant. On the evening of March 23, the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty (960), when Wang was in labor, a respectable red light shone into the house from the northwest, and Mazu was born with a long sound. Because Mazu is a girl, his parents are disappointed, but Mazu was born strangely, so he loves him very much. Mazu never cried from birth to the full moon, so her parents named her Maureen. According to legend, Mazu was born in Meizhou Island. Li: Mei Yufei was born: In the fourth year of Song Taizong, Mazu was 28 years old. The day before the Double Ninth Festival, I said to my family, "My heart is so clean that I don't want to live on earth. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and I want to climb the mountain. Say goodbye to you in advance. " The family thought she was going to climb the mountain and overlook it, but they didn't know she was going to become an immortal. The next morning, after burning incense and chanting, Mazu bid farewell to his sisters and headed straight for the highest point of Mae Peak. At this time, there were thick clouds on the top of Meifeng Peak, and Mazu turned into a white light and went straight into the sky, leaving with the wind. Since then, Mazu has often appeared to protect the country and the people and save people from danger. The local people were grateful to her and built a temple in Mei Feng. It is said that the cliff behind the ancestral temple is where Mazu flies. M: It is said that when Mazu was alive, there was a sea-crossing stone bridge in the west of Jiliangcheng opposite Meizhou, which was the main road for local people to travel from south to north. One day, a strange wind suddenly blew and broke all the bridge piles. At that time, the traffic was cut off and people could not pass. People thought it was Fengshen, so they prayed to Mazu to solve the problem. When Mazu visited the stone bridge, he saw a dark sky in the distance. He knew there was something strange, so he used magic to drive it away. Since then, the stone bridge has been unimpeded and harmless. N: Gong: According to legend, when Mazu was alive, there was a monster named Gong Yan at sea, who often made waves at sea and overturned boats. One day, Mazu sailed to the East China Sea, and the monster began to make waves again. Mazu's boat rocked badly. Even if Mazu broke down, he saw a boat with a golden crown and embroidered sleeves in the waves ahead, and the god who lifted his beard and looked up was at work. Mazu quietly set off a storm to fight against it. Fearing the great power of Mazu, Duke Yan bowed down and sailed away. But the monster was dissatisfied with the divine power for a while, so he became a dragon and continued to make waves. Mazu said, "If we don't get rid of this demon, the storm will continue." He broke down in the middle and surrendered to the dragon. Mazu ordered Gong Yan to take charge of the Waterfinch Fairy Class (a total of 18 people) to protect the boat people at sea. Later, Gong Yan became the general manager of Mazu's subordinates. O: Collecting ghosts in Korea: It is said that when Mazu was alive, there was a monster in a place called Korea. The local people suffered greatly from it and suffered from various diseases. The local people went to Mazu for medical treatment. Mazu gave the seeker a spell and told everyone to stick the spell on the patient's bedside when they returned. Knowing that the spell was powerful, the monster turned into a bird and ran away. When Mazu chased him out, he saw the bird hiding in a tree, and his mouth was still breathing black gas. Mazu read: "This monster can't stay here because it is in a troubled village." He chased and caught the bird. It turned out to be a wren. Mazu sprayed the bird with water, and the bird fell to the ground and became a pinch of dead hair. Mazu set fire to it. It turned out to be atoms. The kid knocked at the door and asked Mazu to take it in, so Mazu put it under the stage to serve. P: crossing the river with an iron horse: It is said that one day, Mazu will cross the sea, but there is no boat. At this time, Mazu saw an iron horse hanging in front of the eaves next to him, and he had a brainwave and whipped it with a whip. Iron horses travel across the ocean to treat people on the other side. Suddenly, the iron horse disappeared without a trace, and everyone next to it was amazed at the magical power of the "Dragon Lady".

Zhao Yi, a historian in Qing Dynasty, wrote a very interesting Mazu legend in southern Fujian and Taiwan Province Province. If you ask the gods for help in a shipwreck, it is called "Mazu", and Mazu will immediately stop applying powder to save people. If you call it "Tian Fei", Mazu will dress up to save people, so she will arrive late. So people at sea are called "Mazu" and dare not call them "Tian Fei". I hope Mazu will come to rescue the sunken fishing boat at once. According to the legend of Mazu in Taiwan Province Province, Mazu probably blocked a bomb dropped by the US military in World War II with a skirt, and there are also legends that Mazu saved the child. Legend has it that every time Mazu rescues at sea, he will give people in distress a bowl of steaming and delicious Xinghua noodles. After eating, it not only drives away the cold and warms the body, but also brings good luck. Over time, Xinghua noodles are known as "Mazu safe noodles" and become the first choice food for blessing peace and good luck. Whenever relatives and friends visit, celebrate birthdays and family reunions, they should eat "mom". I answer with great care, please add points.
