This paper combines the historical spread of Mazu belief in ancient China with an analysis of the role and impact of this process on the development of port infrastructure in Mazu's hometown.The study concludes that during the Song dynasties,the spread of Mazu belief significantly enhanced the reputation of the hometown port,strengthening its cultural identity.In the Yuan dynasty,Mazu belief not only expanded the fame of the hometown port but also elevated its social status.In the Ming dynasty,the spread of Mazu belief not only enhanced the port's social standing but also promoted the development of high-level reception capabilities at the port.In the Qing dynasty,the dissemination of Mazu belief created close connections between the hometown port and Taiwan,while also serving as a cultural link for overseas Chinese immigrants in Southeast Asia,making the port a symbol of nostalgia and giving rise to its early form as a tourism hub.The interactive relationship between the spread of Mazu belief and the development of the hometown port reveals the internal dynamics that transformed an economic trading port into a cultural and tourism-oriented port,demonstrating the role and influence of cultural factors in port development.
