湄洲妈祖祖庙,通称湄洲天后宫,原名神女祠,位于中国大陆福建莆田市的湄洲岛,主祀妈祖。北宋987年建立,1966年文化大革命期间全毁,1989年重建完成。宋太祖建隆元年(960年)农历三月廿三,妈祖林默生于福建莆田市湄洲岛。妈祖是福建望族林氏后裔。

传说中湄洲岛是妈祖的家乡,也是祂羽化升天之地。兴化府莆田湄洲岛湄洲妈祖庙始建于北宋雍熙四年(987年),原始小庙(神女祠)位于祖庙寝殿后方,是世界上最早的妈祖庙。天圣年间(1023年)开始扩建,此时的祖庙已初具规模。

元朝时,妈祖祖庙得到进一步的扩建。洪希文在《题圣墩妃宫》诗中,描写了“粉墙丹住辉掩映,华表茸突过飞峦”的景象,反映出妈祖庙的建筑情况。

在明朝时,妈祖祖庙又得到进—步扩展。洪武七年(1274年)泉州街指挥周坐主持重建寝殿、香亭、鼓楼、山门。永乐初年(1403年),郑和下西洋时,因妈祖庇佑有功,奉旨遣官修整祠庙。宣德六年(1431年)郑和最后一次下西洋之前,亲自与地方官员备办木石,再次修整祖庙。

清朝康熙二十年(1681年)迁界令撤销后重修。康熙二十二年(1683年)福建总督姚启圣重建钟鼓楼和山门,又把朝天阁改为正殿,后因姚启圣封为太子太保、兵部尚书,所以人们也称正殿“太子太保殿”、“太子公殿”,后简称为“太子殿”。康熙二十三年(1684年)靖海侯施琅增建梳妆楼、朝天阁、佛殿、僧房,按石祖庙又建中殿、观音亭、土地庙等,当时有五组建筑群,殿堂楼阁十六座,客房斋堂等建筑九十九间,规模宏大。

湄洲祖庙惜已于文化大革命期间全毁。1980年代以来,海内外信徒捐资对湄洲祖庙进行重建,台湾信徒捐献为最多,现有建筑基本都是文革后所重建的庙貌,但许多湄洲妈祖金身现存于台湾庙宇,如鹿港天后宫。

湄洲祖庙为长323米、宽99米的五进仿宋建筑群,由大牌坊、宫门、钟鼓楼、顺济殿、天后广场、正殿、灵慈殿、妈祖文化园组成,妈祖庙后的岩石上刻有“升天古迹”、“观澜”等石刻,在祖庙山顶有14米高的巨型妈祖石雕塑像。

太子殿

“太子殿”原为“朝天阁”,因清康熙时,太子太保姚启圣以罗盘估算,认为风水不当,故构工将此阁改为正殿。但信徒并不领情,依然以寝殿为“正殿”,故称此殿为“太子太保殿”、“太子公殿”。后迳称“太子殿”。

神昭殿

本殿原为“正殿”。太子太保姚启圣迁徙正殿,以此殿作为“寝殿”,但善信皆称此殿为“正殿”。有清雍正帝御笔匾额“神昭海表”,故又称“神昭殿”。当年另有同样的两块匾额,分赐给台湾及厦门的妈祖庙;门殿石柱上还有明代莆田才子戴大宾所写的“齐齐齐齐齐齐齐齐齐齐戒,朝朝朝朝朝朝朝朝朝朝音”对联,颇为趣味,其中的...

湄洲媽祖祖廟,通稱湄洲天后宮,原名神女祠,位於中國大陸福建莆田市的湄洲島,主祀媽祖。

北宋987年建立,1966年文化大革命期間全毀,1989年重建完成。

宋太祖建隆元年(960年)農曆三月廿三,媽祖林默生於福建莆田市湄洲島。媽祖是福建望族林氏後裔。

傳說中湄洲島是媽祖的家鄉,也是祂羽化升天之地。興化府莆田湄洲島湄洲媽祖廟始建於北宋雍熙四年(987年),原始小廟(神女祠)位於祖廟寢殿後方,是世界上最早的媽祖廟。天聖年間(1023年)開始擴建,此時的祖廟已初具規模。

元朝時,媽祖祖廟得到進一步的擴建。洪希文在《題聖墩妃宮》詩中,描寫了「粉牆丹住輝掩映,華表茸突過飛巒」的景象,反映出媽祖廟的建築情況。

在明朝時,媽祖祖廟又得到進—步擴展。洪武七年(1274年)泉州街指揮周坐主持重建寢殿、香亭、鼓樓、山門。永樂初年(1403年),鄭和下西洋時,因媽祖庇佑有功,奉旨遣官修整祠廟。宣德六年(1431年)鄭和最後一次下西洋之前,親自與地方官員備辦木石,再次修整祖廟。

清朝康熙二十年(1681年)遷界令撤銷後重修。康熙二十二年(1683年)福建總督姚啟聖重建鐘鼓樓和山門,又把朝天閣改為正殿,後因姚啟聖封為太子太保、兵部尚書,所以人們也稱正殿「太子太保殿」、「太子公殿」,後簡稱為「太子殿」。康熙二十三年(1684年)靖海侯施琅增建梳妝樓、朝天閣、佛殿、僧房,按石祖廟又建中殿、觀音亭、土地廟等,當時有五組建築群,殿堂樓閣十六座,客房齋堂等建築九十九間,規模宏大。

湄洲祖廟惜已於文化大革命期間全毀。1980年代以來,海內外信徒捐資對湄洲祖廟進行重建,臺灣信徒捐獻為最多,現有建築基本都是文革後所重建的廟貌,但許多湄洲媽祖金身現存於臺灣廟宇,如鹿港天后宮、新竹長和宮。

湄洲祖廟為長323米、寬99米的五進仿宋建築群,由大牌坊、宮門、鐘鼓樓、順濟殿、天后廣場、正殿、靈慈殿、媽祖文化園組成,媽祖廟後的岩石上刻有「升天古蹟」、「觀瀾」等石刻,在祖廟山頂有14米高的巨型媽祖石雕塑像。

「太子殿」原為「朝天閣」,因清康熙時,太子太保姚啟聖以羅盤估算,認為風水不當,故構工將此閣改為正殿。但信徒並不領情,依然以寢殿為「正殿」,故稱此殿為「太子太保殿」、「太子公殿」。後逕稱「太子殿」。

本殿原為「正殿」。太子太保姚啟聖遷徙正殿,以此殿作為「寢殿」,但善信皆稱此殿為「正殿」。有清雍正帝御筆匾額「神昭海表」,故又稱「神昭殿」。當年另有同樣的兩塊匾額,分賜給臺灣及廈門的媽祖廟;門殿石柱上還有明代莆田才子戴大賓所寫的「齊齊齊齊齊齊齊齊齊齊戒,朝朝朝朝朝朝朝朝朝朝音」對聯,頗為趣味,其中的...

Allocate more time to visit this historic temple, understand bits and pieces of the temple, take scenic pictures, and it is definitely an awesome place to visit at Mei Zhou.

能夠親自來到媽祖祖廟,朝聖參拜,內心好感動。看到媽祖飛升的石頭,參拜第一座媽祖廟。哇,心裡只有覺得平靜,我們都是媽祖的孩子。 英文介紹: Being able to come to Mazu Temple in person and pay homage was so touching. See Mazu’s ascending stone and visit the first Mazu temple. Wow, I just feel calm in my heart, we are all children of Mazu. 韓文介紹: 마주사에 직접 와서 참배할 수 있어서 너무 감동적이었습니다. 마조의 오름돌을 보고 첫 번째 마조사를 방문하세요. 와, 마음이 차분해졌습니다. 우리는 모두 마주의 아이들입니다.
