妈祖信仰文化的产生、形成及其传播,至今已有一千多年悠久的历史。作为中华文化的重要组成部分或自然延伸,其广泛而持久的影响力,长盛而不衰的生命力以及超越时空界限、团结炎黄子孙的凝聚力,使妈祖信仰得以世代相传,流播于海内外。妈祖信仰之所以有如此巨大而深远的感召力,与其本身所具有的文化特性有密切的关系。 The birth, formation and dissemination of Mazu belief culture has a history of over one thousand years. As an important part or extension of Chinese culture, its broad and lasting influence, its long-standing and unfavorable vitality and its transcending the boundaries of time and space have unite the cohesion of its ancestors and grandchildren, enabling Mazu’s belief to spread from generation to generation and spread throughout the world. The reason why Mazu belief has such a huge and far-reaching charisma is closely related to its own cultural characteristics.
