Why did the ancient warriors and eunuchs frequently leave ink marks in the "Five Seas" series of temples?
Whether it is the Oriental "Five Seas" series or the Baisha Five Seas Temple, most of the worshippers are sea gods, especially Mazu, the sea god who has been praised by emperors in all dynasties. The Leizhou Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, southeast and west, and has been a place of contention for generations, and when the pirate Wokou is rampant, the coastal shore is the fortress where the pirate Wokou landed.
Soldiers fighting with pirates and pirates often have the psychology of sustenance for the protection of the gods, plus "evil does not suppress righteousness" is an eternal and unchangeable principle, those soldiers before going to war, it is likely to sacrifice in the temple to pray for the protection of the gods, and after victory, they will be sacrificed. Therefore, the "Five Seas" series of temples along the Eastern Ocean coast not only left handwriting like Zhang Bailing and Wu Yingquan, but also left rare ink treasures for Leizhou celebrities Li Jinxi and Chen Qiaosen when studying coastal folklore, history and culture.
