Beigang Story House Introduction
The Beigang Story Museum was grandly opened on March 23, 2012. Its founding purpose is to promote the spirit of Mazu's benevolence, preserve the local cultural heritage that is on the verge of being lost, gather skilled artisans and artists, infuse new vitality, and collaborate with enthusiastic individuals to present the long-standing local characteristics in their original form and essence, providing folklorists with the opportunity to examine and reflect on ancient artifacts. The Beigang Story Museum is a public-oriented venue, aligned with the mission of the Chaotian Temple. For example, Taiwanese student Wu Jianheng, with the support of Chaotian Temple and the museum, has traveled to countries across Asia, Africa, and South America to promote Mazu culture through traditional folk elements such as the San Tai Zi deity statue and Bajiajiang masks, thus conducting people-to-people diplomacy. In the future, the scope will be expanded with the hope that Beigang Mazu can take the center stage in international folk events.
