개혁개방 이후, 푸젠성 마조신앙(媽祖信仰)의 부흥과 중국 전통문화의 재건

Abstract

After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese government implemented a three-no-policy that refused to trade, pass, and communicate with Taiwan. In addition, Chinese in China were classified as bourgeoisie and suppressed as a reaction to the socialist revolution. However, as DengXiaoping pushed for a reform and open-door policy in 1978, the Chinese government announced a series of economic preferential measures to entice overseas Chinese to invest capital in China. In addition, the government adopted a fiscal decentralization system that minimizes central government interference and empowers local governments, allowing the function of the market economy system to expand. Against this backdrop, the Fujian government actively promoted the inflow of Taiwanese and Chinese capital and human exchanges through cooperation with the Mazo faith organization, and through this, it focused on rebuilding the Mazu faith and cultural customs that were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. In this process, the masochistic faith gradually changed from the realm of private religion to the realm of traditional culture. Therefore, this study aims to examine the inflow of Chinese capital and the reconstruction of Chinese culture by analyzing the revival process of the Mazu faith originated in Fujian Province.
