The belief in Ma Xian is a traditional folk custom inherited from generation to generation by the people of Fujian and Zhejiang. Ma Xian, also known as Ma Xiaoxian, is a goddess worshipped in northeastern Fujian and southeastern Zhejiang. For decades, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law depended on each other, tolerated humiliation and burdened her, and served her aunt diligently until she died. His filial piety touched the heavens, passed on as a good story, and was sacrificed to God after his death. Tang Suzong was named "Mrs. Mars Protector of the Nation" when he was emperor. He was also known as the three goddesses of Fujian and Zhejiang together with Mazu and Chen Jinggu. Ma Xianxiao's filial piety is also regarded as a model of filial piety by the upper class. Famous historical figures such as Li Yangbing, Liu Bowen and Feng Menglong all wrote articles to praise it. Ma Xian belief was introduced into Zherong in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It was not only regarded as a model of filial piety, but also became the spiritual sustenance of the people in eliminating disease, eliminating disaster and resisting disaster. Every year, "Yingxian" Temple Ceremony is held. Mothers or mothers-in-law lead their daughters and daughters-in-law to the temple to offer sacrifices. They tell the story of Ma Xian's filial piety and pass on the spirit of filial piety, thus forming a complete set of Ma Xian's beliefs and customs. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Ma Xian's beliefs and customs were widely spread and deeply rooted in Funing Prefecture (now Eastern Fujian). Zherong is the center of Maxian belief. The most typical and influential activities of Maxian belief are Zherong. Its influence extends to Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, with more than 20 million followers. Zherong Dongshi Mountain, known as "Xianshan", is a sacred mountain for worshippers of Ma Xian on the border between Fujian and Zhejiang. It is said that the Lingyan Cave on the mountain is Ma Xian's temple and its central place is Ma Xian Temple in Chengguan Xianyu. The thousand-year inheritance of Ma Xian's beliefs and customs has left many cultural relics and attractions, including Lingyan Cave in Song Dynasty, Ma Xian Temple in Yuan Dynasty, Dongshishan Cliff Carvings in Ming Dynasty, and plaques in Ming and Qing Dynasty. There are Baizhangyan, cactus footprints, cactus stream, cactus spring and cactus island.
