颠簸了百多年的妈祖

几天前，我又收到一封电邮。
“你好，我是xx大學的研究學生，專長在研究南洋的宗教文化，目前正計畫探訪新加坡的媽祖文化。...我想撰寫有關新家坡媽祖在地信仰的文章.....请问能接受我的采访吗？"

大家好奇吗？为什么名不见经传的三巴旺天后宫常常会让各国学者垂青和采访？您了解三巴旺天后宫背后隐藏的一段沧桑史吗？

大年初六不想考历史？好吧，就不卖关子了。。

原来”三巴旺天后宫“的前身为”西河公司天后宫“，廿世纪初由新加坡先贤林义顺先生发起和创建（想不到吧？）。最初的天后宫也只是一间简陋的亚答屋，坐落在汤申路上段门牌4号。后来亚答屋严重破损，天后宫就搬迁到林义顺先生的住所三巴旺路23号二楼。
1936年，林先贤在上海去世。
1937年，天后宫搬至义顺村长安路门牌36Z。战后，原址改为义顺村汫水港31号。（市区重整后为40号）
1962年，搬至三巴旺忠邦村西山园17795号（后为151号）
1988年，再次搬迁至义顺工业区1002座，01-488号
2001年，在目前的地址三巴旺海军部街24号重建天后宫。
2006年1月1日。谢谢大家。漂泊超过一个世纪的妈祖娘娘，终于以”三巴旺天后宫“正式和大家见面。。

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.
