Lin is one of the big families in Fujian. Lu Lin footballer, the ancestor of Lin Min, did business in Du Jiang Town (now Nanjing) of Si Marui in the first year of Jin Yongjia (307). Ten years later,
Si Marui Yu Jianye was the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty, and Lu Lin footballer would ride a regular servant to lead the Hepu satrap to move far away. In the third year of Taining (325), Lu Lin footballer was ordered to keep Jin 'an (now Fujian).
The coastal areas of central Fujian, western Fujian and southern Fujian, where Fuzhou is located, were all given to the king of Jinan County. Lu Lin, the 10th Sun Linmao, moved to Beiluo Village in Putian in Sui Dynasty (Zixiao Mountain at the end of the Western Heaven).
Area). On 16th, Sun Linpi went to Zhu Cheng (now Zhu Cheng Village, Xitianwei Town).

Recommend, accumulate, Mongolia, wheat, all officials to the state secretariat (that is, state animal husbandry), the history is called "nine animal husbandry forest." )
Jelly Lin, the seventh ancestor of Mazu, ranks sixth among the "Nine Brothers". Tang Zhenyuan was born in the Ming Dynasty in the fourth year (788) and served as our envoy to give up. The first year of Yuanhe (806) Xichuan
Our time made Liu Pi rebel, and sent an executioner to threaten Lin Yun with a knife to rebel with him. Lin Yun scolded without fear, "Even if I die, why should I be stubborn and sharpen my knife?" Liu Jianqi is honest,
Never dare to kill anyone. After the Sichuan Rebellion, Ren Shaozhou was the secretariat. After his death, he was endowed with "loyalty".
One of the descendants of Lin Yun, who lives along the coast of Meizhou Bay, is named Zhongmen, which means "Loyalty Festival". Now the place names are still the same. Lin Biao, Mazu's great-great grandfather, was an official in the Five Dynasties. great-grandfather
Bao Jigong was a last-rate official. In the first year of Xiande (954), he was appointed as the military envoy of the Scouts. In view of the chaos in the sky, he gave up his official position and retired. Grandpa's name is Fu, and he is the general manager of Fujian.
Mazu's father only wants to leave his name, and officials in the early Song Dynasty will check it. His mother Wang gave birth to a boy and six girls. Mazu is the youngest daughter in this family.
At the mouth of Meizhou Bay in Putian City, Fujian Province, there is a beautiful island called Meizhou Island. There is a tall male on the island.
Splendid temples are dedicated to the world-famous "Poseidon" Mazu.
Mazu was born in an official family and was the 22nd granddaughter of Jin 'an County King in Fujian Jin Dynasty. This is the local hope.
Family. Her original name was Lin, Mazu's father, and Wang, her mother, and she did good deeds and accumulated virtue with many people. One night, Wang
In the dream, Master Guanyin kindly said to her, "Your family has accumulated virtue and done good deeds. Now I'll give you a pill, which Tzu Chi deserves. "
Here. "So he is pregnant. By the evening of March 23rd, the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty (960), the king was near.
During childbirth, I saw a red light coming into the room from the northwest, which was dazzling and fragrant for a long time. Listen again
It thundered like spring thunder and the ground turned purple. Wang felt a shock in his abdomen and Mazu fell down.
Healthy. Because of the strange life, I love it very much. She never cried from birth until she was full, so her father named her "Mo".
Mazu has a brother and five sisters. When she was eight years old, she went to a private school to study, and she could quickly master the articles taught by her teachers. At the age of ten, she believed in Buddhism, burned incense and recited scriptures, and worked tirelessly in the morning and evening. At the age of thirteen, an old Taoist Xuan Tong often visited her house and said to her, "You are a fairy, you should get married." So he was awarded the "Xuanwei Secret Law". She can understand the gist by practicing law.
When Mazu was sixteen, she wandered around with a group of women and took care of herself in the well. Suddenly, I saw the man of God rushing into the well with a pair of bronze symbols, and then surrounded by a fairy class, and gave her the bronze symbols. The female companions all ran away in horror, and Mazu didn't get suspicious, and soon she was well informed. Since then, although she is in the room, she can often wander outside, talking about good fortune and bad fortune, without exception. People from far and near are very grateful that she can sail across the sea and save the shipwreck. She often treats people and eliminates disasters, calling her "goddess" and "dragon lady".
Mazu 16 years old. One day in autumn in September, her father and brother crossed the sea by boat to the north. At that time, Mazu was carefully weaving in the room. Suddenly, he collapsed on the loom and closed his eyes. His face suddenly changed. Grab the shuttle with one hand and express it with the other, step firmly on the machine shaft and try your best to support it so as not to lose. When her mother found out, she was very scared and woke her up quickly. Mazu accidentally dropped the shuttle to the ground. She opened her eyes, stamped her foot and cried loudly, "My father was saved, and my brother fell into the sea and died!" " "His mother was very alarmed and quickly sent someone to inquire about the news. After a while, someone reported that Mazu was telling the truth. At that time, his father panicked in the rough waves and capsized several times. If someone seems to hold his rudder firmly and approach her brother's boat, his brother can't help it. At that time, Mazu closed his eyes, stepped on his father's boat and grabbed his brother's rudder. His mother woke her up, the space shuttle fell to the ground, and his brother's rudder was damaged and overturned. His father escaped from danger and went home, while his brother was swallowed up by the rough waves. After his brother drowned, Mazu accompanied his mother, sister-in-law and several villagers and sailed to the vast sea to find his brother's body. At that time, the sea was rough, and they suddenly found a group of aquatic animals gathered on the sea, and everyone could not help but be afraid. Mazu said, don't be afraid, and told the aquarium not to meet. Suddenly, the color of the water became clear, and her brother's body floated on the sea. At this time, everyone realized that it was a water god to protect the body. Finally, my brother's body was brought back, and Meizhou islanders praised her for her filial piety and charity. From then on, whenever Mazu's birthday came, there were groups of big fish in the middle of the night, which lined up in front of the cocoon like dancing and dispersed at dawn.
In the west of Meizhou, there is a place called Wen Jia (now Wen Jia), which is the hub of Meizhou Bay. Rocks are mixed and distributed on land. Once, a merchant ship passed by here and was attacked by a strong wind. A corner of the ship hit a rock and seawater flooded into the cabin. The situation is very critical. The people on board shouted for help. When Mazu was informed, he was very anxious and told the villagers that the merchant ship bulls were about to sink and they had to go to the rescue immediately. But everyone looked at the wind and waves and dared not move forward. At this critical moment, Mazu picked up some grass at her feet and threw it into the sea. When braking, several grasses turned into big fir trees, and they headed for the boat. Merchant ships are tied to big fir trees, so they won't sink. Soon, it was calm, and the people on board celebrated each other and survived. They all help and celebrate with God. When the ship docked, I suddenly found Damu missing. After asking the villagers, I realized that it was Mazu's magic that turned the grass into fir and attached it to the boat. This is the legendary "turning grass to save businessmen".
It is said that there was a Er Shen in the northwest of Meizhou Island at that time: alert and attentive. Bright and good vision, no clairvoyance. Er Shen frequented worship, and the villagers suffered greatly, praying for Mazu's punishment. The goddess went up the mountain and chose among the women. After more than ten days, she met them. Er Shen mistakenly thought Mazu was a folk woman. Recently, Mazu brushed a silk handkerchief in his hand, and the haze enveloped the air and the wind swept the ground. The two monsters still looked at it with axes. Mazu said, dare you throw down your axe? They left it, but they couldn't let it go, and they were at a loss. Two years later, Er Shen came out to worship again. This time, it appeared on the water, riding the wind and waves, riding the bubble, ups and downs. At that time, witches could not cure them. Mazu said: "Rivers, lakes and seas, water is virtuous, and bells are ringing. If he gallops in the land of prosperity, he will overcome it with civil engineering. " So he cast a spell, the tree whistled, flying sand and stones, and Er Shen had nowhere to hide, so he bowed down to the ground and wished to return to Mazu. The goddess regards them as disciples, eyes and ears, saving shipwrecks, exorcising evil spirits and promoting goodness.
Song Taizong yongxi four years (987), matsu was 28 years old. The day before the Double Ninth Festival, Mazu said to his family, "My heart is so clean that I don't want to live on earth. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and I want to climb the mountain. Say goodbye to you in advance. " Everyone thought that she was going to climb high and overlook, but she didn't know that she would become an immortal. The next morning, Mazu burned incense and recited scriptures, and said to her sisters, "Today, I want to climb a mountain and travel far away to realize my wish, but the road is difficult and dangerous, so you can't accompany me." Sisters smiled and comforted her and said, "Just swim, why bother!" Mazu then bid farewell to her sisters and went straight to the highest point of Mae Peak. At this moment, I saw the thick clouds on the top of Meifeng Peak, and a stream of white gas went straight into the sky, as if I heard the fairy music played by a string of silk and bamboo in the sky, which went straight into the sky and reflected the rainbow. Mazu flies in the sky by driving Xiangyun in Changfeng. Looking down at the world, it is looming. Suddenly, the clouds were mixed up and out of sight. Meizhou people looked up and were shocked. Since then, Mazu has often appeared, and villagers can often see her beside caves in rocks, or sitting in clouds, or Zhu Yi flying on the sea. Always show dreams and show saints, save people in emergencies and protect the country and the people. So people in the village built a temple in Mei Feng, and worshiped it devoutly. Later generations came to worship in an endless stream.
Mazu spent his life in the sea, helping the poor and saving many fishing boats and merchant ships in the stormy waves; She resolutely refused to marry compassion and devoted herself to doing good and saving the world.
There are many legends about her, which have been passed down for generations and so on. You can visit this website.
