Chen’s homesickness is the best, and Qian Shan is separated by thousands of waters. This year coincides with the 60th anniversary of Taiwan Province compatriots’ relocation to Taiwan. In order to consolidate the foundation of cross-strait exchange of “hometown feelings of Dachen”, cultivate the kinship of Dachen people on both sides of the strait, and create a better future for Dachen. Jiaojiang District held the “2015 Cross-Strait Dachen Hometown Culture Festival” from April 21 to 23, and 153 Taiwan Province compatriots from Dachen returned to their hometown to seek roots and worship their ancestors, share their nostalgia and seek common development.
Tianhou Temple in Dachen Island, Jiaojiang District, is the only approved and registered Taoist activity place on Dachen Island, where the main god enshrined is Goddess Mazu. Tianhou Temple actively exerted its own advantages, made great efforts to create conditions and tap resources, and held a large-scale ceremony of “Celebrating and Blessing” on April 21st, which attracted the attention of Taiwan Province compatriots. After hearing the sound, 53 Taiwan Province compatriots participated in a large-scale dharma meeting and visited the Tianhou Palace. Some Taiwan Province compatriots have also donated money in the donation box.
“Surprisingly came to Chen, still can see the empress. Good, good! ” A Taiwan Province compatriot said.
It is understood that with the all-round development of cross-strait relations this year, wide-range, wide-range and high-frequency exchanges will become more frequent. Based on the current situation, Dachan Tianhou Temple in Jiaojiang will give full play to its role as a bridge and link with Taiwan Province, start to raise money to renovate Tianhou Temple, and contribute to the realization of the “Chinese dream of a family on both sides of the strait living together”.
