湄洲妈祖祖庙:1600万台胞信众的心灵原乡

 
 


1966年,湄洲妈祖祖庙陆续遭到破坏,只剩下圣父母祠(佑德祠)和中军殿。妈祖庙的文物也相继被毁和遗失。唯有妈祖神像在林聪治女士等人的护卫下得以幸存。

1978年,中国大地春风化雨,万物复苏。林聪治等人率领众乡亲进行湄洲妈祖祖庙的重建工作。人们义务投工,硬是在祖庙遗址废墟上整理山—处地基。

上世纪80年代以来,妈祖祖庙陆续开始重建,随着台湾妈祖信徒到祖庙进香日渐增多,海峡两岸妈祖信众同心协力,自愿捐物捐资,进行大规模的修复兴建。妈祖祖庙西轴线建筑群有36座殿堂,保留了历史古迹。新建的南轴线祖庙建筑群由清华大学古建系设计,为五进庙宇式仿宋建筑群,长466米,宽99米,上下落差68米,依山而建,由湄洲妈祖新殿、大牌坊、山门、钟鼓楼、天后天殿、灵慈殿、顺济殿、妈祖文化展览馆等组成。各殿堂浑然一体,布局严谨,宏伟壮观,令人叹为观止。

  改革开放以来,湄洲妈祖祖庙见证了两岸割不断的亲缘和神缘。现代两岸交往史上,有不少个“第一”便是由妈祖创造的:
  改革开放之初,就有台胞冲破重重阻力,冒险到祖庙进香;台胞谢铭洋先生80年代初期孤身驾船到湄洲岛来朝拜妈祖,至今已先后300多次登上湄洲岛谒祖进香。
  1987年妈祖千年祭时,数以千计的台胞涌上湄洲岛参拜妈祖,形成了挡不住的“海峡潮”。
  1989年5月6日,台湾宜兰县苏澳南天宫组成20条渔船200多台胞信众,从海上直航湄洲岛谒祖进香,开启两岸隔绝以后的第一次海上组团直航。
  1997年1月至5月,湄洲祖庙妈祖金身巡游台湾102天,受到宝岛上千万人次的顶礼膜拜,十里长街迎妈祖,火树银花不夜天。岛内舆论感叹:从来没有一个活动能吸引这么多人参加,也从来没有一个人能把不同派别的政治人物聚在一起,只有妈祖做到了。
  2006年9月下旬,由台湾妈祖联谊会发起的台湾50多家妈祖庙4300多位台胞信众与在大陆的2700多位台胞信众,组成7000多人的特大型进香团前来湄洲进行谒祖进香之旅和民俗文化交流活动,成为迄今为止最大规模的两岸妈祖文化交流盛事。
  ……
  在祖庙山顶,14米高的巨型妈祖石雕像面向台湾,栩栩如生。在台湾北港朝天宫,也有同样一尊巨型妈祖石雕像,面向大陆。这两尊妈祖石雕像是用湄洲岛的花岗岩雕刻,由湄洲妈祖祖庙与台湾北港朝天宫互赠的。两尊雕像隔海相望,架起了一座跨越海峡的心灵之桥。
  伫立湄洲祖庙山顶,极目远眺,山海茫茫,水天一色;回望山下整个祖庙群尽收眼底,构成了一幅瑰丽壮美的山水画。1992年10月,湄洲岛被辟为国家级旅游度假区。2006年6月,湄洲妈祖祖庙被国务院公布为第六批全国重点文物保护单位,湄洲妈祖祭典被国务院公布为首批国家级非物质文化遗产代表作。2009年9月,“妈祖信俗”被联合国教科文组织列入世界人类非物质文化遗产代表名录,成为我国首个信俗类世界遗产。
 
  原莆田市博物馆副馆长柯凤梅:湄洲妈祖祖庙历史沿革已有上千年,是海峡两岸亿万妈祖信众的心灵原乡。天下妈祖,祖在湄洲。台湾所有妈祖庙都是从湄洲妈祖祖庙分灵过去的。
  两岸妈祖信仰习俗几乎是同宗法的,两岸人民都为弘扬妈祖文化作出了积极努力。自1987年妈祖千年祭以来,台湾众多妈祖庙的信众都以绕道、直航、组团等形式到祖庙谒祖进香,加深了两岸妈祖文化的交流,妈祖祖庙成了两岸民间文化交流最热的热点,不管是祖庙金身巡游台湾引起台湾上千万人的顶礼膜拜,还是近年来台湾数以百计的妈祖庙回“娘家”,湄洲妈祖祖庙成为连接两岸同胞的一座亲情桥梁。(记者 陈建平 李向娟/文 陈建平/图)

媽祖 (韓寶儀主唱)

一首歌(朱哲琴主唱)

Mazu and Mazu Culture

Over 1,000 years ago, a beautiful young girl by the name of Lin Mu was born at the Xianliang Port of Meizhou Bay in Putian, Fujian Province. Clever, brave and kind-hearted, Lin Mu could forecast the weather and was happy to help fishermen in distress at sea. She encouraged the people to conquer nature and defeat evil, so she was much loved and esteemed by the people in her hometown. Unfortunately she died an early death at only 28. As the legend goes, she ascended to heaven and became an immortal at Meizhou Bay located opposite to the Xianliang Port.

For more over 1,000 years, she has been living, with a composed and tender smile, in the hearts of the people. The people pay homage to her, respectfully calling her fairy, the daughter of dragon, goddness, the mother or Mazu ( a title of respect for an aged woman): rulers of past dynasties upheld her and granted her the titles of "Lady", "Heavenly Queen" and "Holy Mother"; the times have bestowed her a series of loveable and respected names such as "Goddess of the Sea", "Goddness of the the Straits" and "Goddess of Peace of the Straits".
She is none other than the world-renowned Mazu, goddess of the sea, of Fujian, China.
The respect for Mazu has turned into a wide-spread belief with the passage of time. Following the footprints of sea merchants and overseas Chinese, Mazu went out of Putian, out of Fujian and out of China, making her presence in many corners of Asia, America, Australia and Europe. Consequently, over 1,500 Mazu temples are found all over the world, where Muzu from Meizhou are consecrated. The belief in Mazu has become a sort of transnational folk belief with more than 100 million worshippers. However, different from a religion in the ordinary sense, is a special kind of ideology connected with theology, religion, folklore, sociology as well as the history of sea commnication overseas Chinese, culture and the development of Fujian and Taiwan. This is the culture of Mazu which has aroused an extensive interest and great attention of Chinese and foreign scholars and is now under integral part of the culture of the Chinese nation and a part of the brilliant civilization of China.


In recent years, there are a number of academic groups, experts and scholars working on research of Mazu and published special works on the subject in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao regions and in such countries as Japan, the United States, France, Singapore and Malaysia. The research on the Mazu culture has a great appeal and cohesive force to the Chinese both at home and abroad. Now the achievements in the research on the Mazu culture have become valuable material in the research on the history of navigation, science, overseas Chinese, development of off-shore islands and economic and cultural exchanges with foreign countries as well as the history of folklore and religion of ancient China.
