Hainan is one of the three major overseas Chinese towns in my country。History，Hainan people are basically Nanyang，That is, all parts of Southeast Asia today。During the long journey of the ocean from the Hainan people，Haixian faith is their important spiritual pillar。

The main gods worshiped by Hainan in the Nanyang Ocean are the Virgin of the Queen、Nantianshui Tail Sheng Niang and 108 Brothers。An exotic country far away from the homeland，The deity worshiped is an important spiritual sustenance and emotional connection bond of Hainan from the Namang Ocean。

In Nanyang，The Virgin of the Queen Mother is not a god that Hainan worships alone，All dialects have worship，It's just that the name is different。Fujian people call the Queen Mother & ldquo; Mazu & rdquo;，The Hakka Bet365 lotto review calls it & ldquo; the sail mother & rdquo;，Hainan people call it & ldquo; mother -in -law & rdquo;。Therefore，The Lady Lade of the Queen Mother is a well -known god in the minds of the good men and women of overseas Chinese in Nanyang。According to research，In the ancient times, the Virgin of the Queen Mother was the mother -in -law、Holy Concubine、Hou Queen、Tianfei。Chuan Tian Fei does have someone，Call Lin Mo，Fujian Putian People。Mazu was just regarded by the folk as the goddess of navigation to worship，Later, the seal of the ruler of the past and the demeanor of the people，Mazu belief has gradually evolved from the average sea god to seeks the blessing of the sons, seeking the wind and the wind, and the Guotai Min'an，Multi -functional deities worship by officials and people。This change is particularly obvious after the Ming and Qing Dynasties。

At the end of the 18th century and early 19th century，With a large number of people who believe in Mazu, the people of Fujian and Guangdong have made a living in the South bet365 Play online games Ocean，Mazu gods have also been taken to the new residence of immigrants。The reason why different dialects are built and worshiped Mazu，It is mainly related to early Nanyang Overseas Chinese Society as the power of consolidating and integrating each other with dialect group identity。Early Overseas Chinese only knows that there are homes (hometown)，I don’t know if there is a country，The same language、The similar nostalgia is the only bond connected to each other，Is the basis for watching and help。Therefore，Although all dialects believe in Mazu，But it is worshiped in the temples or clubs of this dialect group。

Mazu job worshiped by the Chinese society，Most of the same hometown，Multi -functional deities that must be required。Except escorting overseas，Nanyang Chinese pray for Mazu's greatest wish to take care of wealth。Along the coastal people leave the country to leave the countryside，Chasing exactly wealth。This has obvious differences with the traditional culture bet365 live casino games of Israelite's industry and commerce as a social ranking。In Nanyang Chinese Society，How many wealth is an important benchmark for judging whether a person is successful。Therefore，Pray for wealth，An important pursuit of life to become overseas Chinese。Followed by praying for Mazu to take care of the pioneering smoothly。Once again, pray for mutual support，Together Crimson。Traditionally，Chinese society is a acquaintance society，People familiar with each other communicate emotions，Help each other，It is regarded as one of the virtues of the Chinese nation。In a strange living environment，Common spiritual pursuit，Familiar faith culture，It is an important emotional connection bond and spiritual pillar of the diasporas who work in a foreign country。

If Mazu is a deity worshiped by all Nanyang Overseas Chinese，So，Nantianshui Tail Shengniang and 108 brothers are the main gods worshiped by the Hainan people，Because the birth of the two is closely related to Hainan bet365 Play online games society。In Thailand，Temple built by Hainan people，Mainly dedicated to Water Tail Holy Mother、Zhaoying Lie Bai there is Eight Spirit Sacred、Guanyin Bodhisattva, etc.。where，The most prosperous mother with water tail。The earliest temple built by Hainan people was the Sanshui Tail Temple, which was founded by the Twenty -first year (1841) of the Qing Daoguang (1841)，After several repair expansion after several times，Make it more ambitious、Perfect，So far incense。After decades after decades，More than a dozen San Niang Temples have been built one after another。In Malaysia，Almost every Qiongzhou Club Hall is set up altar，Worship of the Virgin of the Queen of Heaven。Before the establishment of some halls，Is the Tianhou Temple first，The Hall of Construction Hall。In Singapore，The gods of the Hainan belief have the Virgin of the Queen of the Heaven、Sacred Mother and Zhaolie 108 Brothers。

Hainan worships whether it is the Virgin of the Queen，Still south of the Bet365 app download south Tianshui、108 brothers all the gods，or other gods，Although the names are different，But the spiritual connotation it reflects is consistent，Blessing Ping An、Help each other、Help each other、Everything in life goes well。
