Remarks by Lin Jinzan
Lin Jinzan said, “One incense burner carries respect; one stick of incense connects the cultural lineage.” Within Mazu belief and customs, the incense burner holds exceptionally special cultural significance. The Ancestral Temple is the root of Mazu culture, and the incense burner is the breath of its cultural lineage. The continuous burning of incense symbolizes the enduring vitality of Mazu culture and the aspiration of people toward goodness. Mr. Li Weizhu’s donation of the incense burner for the Blessings Hall is both a benevolent act that carries forward Mazu culture and a strong impetus to the development of Mazu cultural endeavors. It is hoped that more people will join in building Mazu cultural initiatives, working together to safeguard the roots of Mazu culture and promote China’s fine traditional culture.
