Mazu is the most influential goddess of the sea in China. In 987 AD, Mazu from Fujian Province devoted her life to saving lives in a shipwreck. In her honor, local residents built a temple and began to worship her as a goddess. With the development of seafaring, she gradually became the navigation goddess and gained greater influence in coastal southeast China and some regions in southeastern Asian. The custom of Mazu is also known as the Mother Belief, Goddess Belief, Princess of Heaven Belief, Queen of Heaven Belief, Our Lady of the Sky Belief. It is a folk culture dedicated to worship and praise Mazu’s grace, benevolence, and philanthropy, with Mazu palaces and temples as the major venue of various activities, and manifested in relevant customs and temple fairs. Up to date, the belief has spread to more than 20 countries and regions, and the over 5000 Mazu temples around the world received worships from over 200 million followers. In Taiwan, over 17 million people out of its 23 million population are Mazu believers. On September 30, 1999, in the fourth session of UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, “Mazu belief and customs” was added to the Intangible Cultural Heritage list. This is China’s first belief intangible cultural heritage.
