Ma Zu
Ma Zu culture has been going around the coastal areas in China for more than one thousand years. Nevertheless, why was Ma Zu who was a common folk fisherwoman divinized as a goddess? Why do the Chinese overseas use her name to express their feelings about their motherland? The belief of Ma Zu derived from the catastrophic culture which gradually formed in the life and death between men and oceans, between love and hatred, has become the meat and drink to people living near seas as well as the nice incarnation of the harmony and love among people in the society.
