Macao Mazu culture propaganda slogan

The belief function of Mazu culture has had more belief functions since the initial development of Poseidon belief culture, which are all new functions endowed by the development of modern society. So, what is the core idea of Mazu belief in today's belief culture? Next, let's take a look.

1. Carry forward patriotism and promote the peaceful reunification of the motherland.

Mainland China and Taiwan Province Province are of the same ancestry, which have passed on the culture for more than 1000 years and formed an indestructible national consciousness. Mazu is the "God" of China, and its patriotic spirit also determines the patriotic spirit of its followers.

On May 6th, 1989, more than 200 compatriots from Taiwan Province province broke the ban of Taiwan Province provincial authorities and arrived in Mazu Tempel, Meizhou by boat. 1997 65438+/kloc-0. From October to May, Meizhou Mazu toured Taiwan Province Province/kloc-0. 03 days, staying in 36 palaces and temples, and receiving Mazu followers in Taiwan Province Province/kloc-0. 00 million people, which caused great repercussions in Taiwan Province Province.

On July 25, 2002, Mazu flew directly to Penghu, and thousands of people worshipped. This scene makes people cry.

At 8: 00 am on June 5438+1October 2/KLOC-0, 2004, Meizhou Mazu Golden God set out from Mazu Tempel, Meizhou Island, Putian City. Accompanied by 54 escort groups, he flew from Changle International Airport to Macau to attend the second Macau Mazu Cultural Tourism Festival.

In 2005, Lien Chan and Mr. James Soong wrote inscriptions for Mazu Tempel in Meizhou: "Zhao Shen View the Sea" and "Shengde Match Heaven" respectively.

This is the cohesive function of Mazu belief. Nowadays, Mazu has become a symbol of peace in cross-strait trade and navigation, and a goddess of peace to unify the motherland and communicate cross-strait exchanges. This function of Mazu belief will continue to play a role until the motherland is completely unified.

2. Spread the spirit of fraternity and educate all beings to be good.

The vast universe is boundless, but human beings are the masters of the universe. Although the differences in aesthetics, values and customs stem from the differences in regional, racial and cultural roots, as the instinct of "life", human nature's cognition of good, evil, beauty and ugliness tends to be consistent.

Mazu belief adapts to human cognition of truth, goodness and beauty in many aspects, such as helping the poor, saving lives, giving people peace and auspiciousness. This is not only a cultural exchange, but also an ideological education.

"Teach, tell, talk, be rational, be righteous, grant it, and pass it on. If you say something, you will announce it; Understand it; If you understand it, you will forget it "(Zhang Junfang's Seven Signs of the Cloud). When an idea is accepted by people, education will take a back seat, and this idea (understanding of truth, goodness and beauty) will take root, blossom and bear fruit.

3. Enlighten conscience and establish the idea of cherishing and returning to nature.

For thousands of years, mankind has been faced with drought, flood and locust plague. When the plague is prevalent, they often pray to the gods for the hope of eliminating the disaster. Mazu tried to quell the tsunami, Zhang Tianshi prayed for the plague, and the rain of the Dragon King ... People were gradually inspired by constant prayers to the gods: all beings are equal, all things are animistic, and the Tao is natural. Protecting the ecological environment and returning to nature has become the voice of the whole world and all mankind.
