Abstract

The paper researched the information and historical data related to Mazu, epecially about the contact and acceptance of Korea about the Mazo’s religion with historical view limited on Goryeo Dynasy. The Mazu’s religion of Goryeo Dynasy could be said a contact period. The envoy Lu Yundi(路允迪), the ambassador on Xuanhe(宣和) of Song(宋) and the sailors from Minzhe(閩浙) came to the Goryeo Dynasy together. At that time, Lizhen(李振) from Fujian(福建) among them and the people who had believed Mazu’s religion stayed in Korean peninsular and might have some possibilities for saying about the religion. On the end of the Dynasty, the people of Goryeo had contacted the Mazu’s religion more positively than before. The envoys of Goryeo, like Jeong Mongju, (鄭夢周), Lee Sungin(李崇仁), Gwon Geun(權近), and Park Uijung(朴宜中), abroaded to the Balhae bay(渤海灣) and then visited the branched Tianfei Shrine(天妃廟) in Samen island(沙門島) and performed to Mazu or made the works related the miracles of the religion. Even though the Goryeo’s envoys didn’t believe the Mazu’s religion, their works could be applied to a good evidence that the religion had spread on the end of Goryeo Dynasty. At that time, the Korean crews who had crossed to Balhae bay could believe the Mazu’s religion.
