At jinjiang's entrance to the seaMamu templeIt's called "the first house of gods." it's a templeQuanzhouOn the rock mountain, from here, the bay of springs. Historically, this region has been known as the french-charlie port, which has been characterized by traffic facilitation, intensive docks and heavy shipping。
In the songwon era, the temple was the site of the second generation of maritime gods in the quan region, the “true wu great” — close to the estuary — and along the main road from ancient towns to the east to the back port, facilitating the worship of sea merchants. In the 10-14th century, as the port of quanzhou flourished, the true emperor became more prominent as a sea god and, together with the faiths of the faraway king and mother and father, served as a spiritual trust for merchants engaged in maritime trade. The sea god's faith, enshrined in the temple of shin moo, is an important spiritual attachment to the trade in the sea by the group of business people of the songwon era, as well as a place of sacrifice to the sea by officials of spring county, and is an element of the representative heritage that embodies the management guarantees of the world ocean trade center。
To this day, the “swallowing sea” tablets of the temple of true wu are still impressive: “the emperor of true wu can swallow the sea”, “i hope that the sea will not swallow the sea, that ships will swallow the sea”, and in any case, the ambitions and vivid pictures of the conquest of the sea by ancient quan can be seen。
