Please. As far as the connotation of Mazu culture is concerned, although Mazu did not leave any works or any ideological system in her short life, her noble sentiments and heroic deeds of love for labor and people, bravery and selfless dedication reflected the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and formed great spiritual strength. After Mazu's sacrifice, according to their own wishes and ideals, people further shaped her into a goddess of compassion and fraternity, protecting the country and benefiting the people, respectable and amiable, with the aim of educating future generations and carrying forward the national spirit. "It is said that Li Ze is still alive" and "after death, it is still an energy-efficient national merit"-these are the poems of Huang Gongdu, the champion of the Song Dynasty; "But when you see me going back and forth, I don't want to do anything"-this is a poem by Chen Mi, a scholar in the Song Dynasty. "Rain and dew are everywhere, the sea changes, and the waves are calm"-this is a poem by Zhang Jian, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty. "Help the weak and help the poor, and give them peace. Pray and listen when you call "-this is the inscription of Emperor Yongle, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. These poems not only highly summarize the spirit of Mazu, but also show that politicians, thinkers and writers of past dynasties attached great importance to Mazu's educational function, hoping to make this folk belief a driving force for promoting national prosperity, national unity and people's livelihood. In this sense, Mazu spirit is undoubtedly one of the outstanding cultural heritages of the Chinese nation. From the perspective of the extension of Mazu culture, it means that Mazu belief has formed many relevant academic and cultural topics worthy of our in-depth discussion and reference for thousands of years. In the history of Sino-foreign relations, Mazu belief is closely related to many peaceful diplomatic activities in ancient China, such as sending envoys to Korea in the Song Dynasty, Zheng He's seven voyages to more than 40 countries in Asia and Africa in the Ming Dynasty, and conferring the ancient Ryukyu Sun Yat-sen State in the Ming and Qing Dynasties for nearly 500 years. They all took Mazu as their spiritual pillar and successfully completed the task of peaceful diplomacy. In order to repay Mazu's divine power, envoys from various countries wrote a lot of eulogies, and these original materials are very useful for clarifying some disputes left over from history. For example, Zheng He's inscription "Tian Fei Ling Ying Zhi" recorded the process of seven voyages to the West in detail, which corrected and supplemented the mistakes and shortcomings recorded in historical books. In the 22nd year of Qing Emperor Kangxi, Wang Ming, the envoy of China, wrote a detailed Miscellaneous Notes on Making Ryukyu. With Mazu's blessing, the ship was put away like flying in the air, and soon entered the waters around Gumi Mountain and Maxi Mountain on the Ryukyu border, which made Zheng Yongan, the doctor who greeted the angel, marvel at "rushing into its territory". According to this record, Diaoyu Island has been the territory of China connected with Taiwan Province Province since ancient times. In the history of the war of anti-aggression, relevant ancient books recorded the fact that China navy generals relied on Mazu's protection to expel the colonists from Penghu waters many times. Up to now, there is still a stone tablet in Mazu Tempel, Penghu, which is called "Shen Yourong's Decree to Return the Red to Wei Malang". This is the stone carving achievement after Shen Yourong led the fleet from Xiamen to Penghu after the Dutch colonists attempted to occupy Penghu in the thirty-second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1640), and made it evacuate unconditionally. Tomorrow, in the fourth year (1624), the China navy master defeated the enemy in Penghu, forcing the leader of the invading army to sign and surrender. As for the legend that Mazu helped Zheng Chenggong's fleet successfully enter Luermen Port in Taiwan Province Province, it is a household name in Taiwan Province Province. In the history of maritime traffic trade and coastal port development, it is closely related to Mazu belief. From Northeast China to South China, the development history of many famous port cities is almost closely related to Mazu Tempel. "There is the Niangniang Temple first, and then there is Tianjin Wei." This proverb vividly explains the origin of Tianjin Port. In the Song Dynasty, Huating (that is, Shanghai), Hangzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou were all jointly built with Mazu Tempel. Yingkou, Yantai, Qingdao and Lianyungang are all marked by the construction of Mazu Tempel, turning desolate fishing villages into prosperous port cities. The Cliff Stone Carvings of the North Buddhist Temple in Hong Kong and the records of Mazu belief introduced from the Southern Song Dynasty in the Lin family tree of Wangcun, Peng Pu, Kowloon have become the earliest records in Hong Kong historical documents. Macao's Portuguese name is Macao, which is a transliteration of Cantonese "Marco". Taiwan Province compatriots call Mazu and early schizophrenic Mazu "Mazu who started Taiwan", which fully shows that Mazu's crossing Taiwan is directly related to the development of Bao Dao. In the history of science and technology, Mazu Tempel also has its unique position. An ancient maritime custom: When a new ship is launched, a model must be made and enshrined in Mazu Tempel, so that Mazu will always care about the safety of the ship. Mazu Tempel has left so many ancient ship models. There are more than 350 ancient ship models in Miaodao and Mazu Tempel, including the Weiyuan model enshrined by the national hero Deng Shichang. These ship models have become important materials for studying the history of ancient shipbuilding in China. There are a number of ancient buildings in Mazu Tempel, such as Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou, Fujian, Jingdezhen in Shandong, Chenghai in Jiangxi, Zhenyuan in Guangdong, Zhenyuan in Guizhou and Qing 'an Hall in Ningbo. From the structural modeling of temples to various carving components, they are extremely precious works of ancient architectural art in China. In addition, some special scientific and technological cultural relics are preserved in Mazu Tempel. For example, there is a star map of Ming Dynasty in Tianhou Palace, Hanjiang, Putian, which is a rare material for studying ancient directional navigation in China by using the star map. The fire-fighting "water machine" preserved in Tianhou Palace in Tianjin is one of the earliest mechanical fire-fighting equipment discovered so far. The extension of Mazu culture only directly records the historical documents of Mazu belief, and the most conservative estimate is more than one million words. It involves many topics in the fields of economy, politics, military affairs, diplomacy, literature, art, education, science and technology, religion, folklore, overseas Chinese, immigration, etc., with rich content and high historical value. The academic value of Mazu folk belief has attracted scholars' attention since 1970s, and it has been studied as a science. Famous historians in China, such as Gu Jiegang and Ke Zhao, have published many papers about ancestors and the day after tomorrow, which have aroused repercussions in academic circles. After 20 years' research, Taiwan Province scholar Li Xianzhang finally wrote the book Mazu Belief, which became the first highly academic monograph on Mazu research in China. Scholars in Mazu's hometown have set off an upsurge of Mazu research since the 1980s, and have held five academic seminars on Mazu culture, and Xiamen, Ningde and other places have also held academic seminars on Mazu culture. The research on Mazu culture has achieved fruitful results. His publications include Scholars at Home and Abroad Studying Mazu, Essays on Mazu Research, Compilation of Mazu Research Materials, Compilation of Mazu Literature Materials, Mazu Belief and Ancestral Temple, Meizhou Mazu, etc. Published "Macao Mazu Essays" in Macao; Published in Taiwan Province Province, "Mazu Research Seminar Proceedings" and so on. There are also scholars on both sides of the Taiwan Strait's research on Mazu, Mazu belief (Li Lulu), the heavenly queen in Mazu (Zeng) and the goddess of rivers and seas in Mazu (Jin Wu Jujube). In-depth study of Mazu culture. There are also a large number of documents, academic monographs, literary works and large picture books, such as Mazu, Molinyang, Mazu Legend, Mazu Legend, China and Mazu Culture, Mazu Millennium Festival in Meizhou and Mazu Worship Banquet, etc. Putian also held an exhibition on the origin of Mazu belief. From God's point of view, Mazu is a thousand years old. Thousands of years have passed, China has changed, the world has changed, human civilization has advanced, and science and technology have developed. However, as a belief, Mazu worship and its research have not disappeared because of the progress of the times. Today we are discussing the formation of Mazu culture and its beliefs, and there is no need to say so.
