Wu-Hsien, as a regional maritime transport hub of Chiang-Su Province, the commerce was prosperous and merchants clustered. From the late of Ming Dynasty to the early of Qing Dynasty, sea merchants from Fuzhou, Xinghua, Quanzhou, Changzhou, Dingzhou districts of Fujian Province, and Ningbo county of Zhejiang Province, constructed their own temples in succession in Wu-Hsien to worship Mazu (The Queen Goddess). From then on, Wu-Hsien became one of the centers of Mazu faith. 1721 A.D, Scholars Fan Shin-Sen and Inn-Hen, collected stories and miracles of Mazu and edited them as a three volume book entitled “Tien Ho Ching Chan”. It was then used for setting a series of ceremonies to celebrate special days of Mazu. One hundred years later, Pun Lian-Chai and Lee Tsun-Mo revised “Tien Ho Ching Chan” and renamed it as “Hon Ren Pu Chi Tien Ho Sen Mu Ching Chan” which was then published at 1829 A.D. This article is structured different parts to introduce the book, which are the introduction, the version, outlines, contents and the discussion of styles of “Hon Ren Pu Chi Tien Ho Ching Chan”, and the conclusion.
