On the day of the sacrifice, in front of the shrine dedicated to the gods, there were high and low tables, commonly known as long cases and dragon cases. Family sacrifices or small temples are often replaced by half tables and square tables. Sacrificial vessels and offerings are placed on it. Usually, sacrificial vessels include fruit boxes, bread boxes, flower barrels, candle screens, incense burners, and water beans. Usually, the offerings are flowers, fruits, tea, wine, cakes, pastries, pasta and so on. Generally, there are six or eight bowls of various vegetarian dishes, and the high-standard ones are pigs and sheep (juvenile prison). In Mazu Tempel, in addition to the usual sacrificial vessels and sacrifices listed above, there are some unique things, namely: ship models, vegetarian dishes and mussels. See Mazu, China for details. com ~ ~

Mazu Tempel's ship models are related to navigation. The world has become strange, and nothing is more strange than the sea; Sailing on the sea is nothing more than stability; The escort and protection of the ship can only rely on the sea god Mazu. In order to seek long-term protection, sailors created a unique ritual custom: when a new ship is launched, a model of the ship must be made and enshrined in Mazu Tempel at the same time, so that Mazu will always care about the safety of the ship; And some ship owners saved the day because of the help of the sea god Mazu, and also scaled down the surviving ships to make models and sent them to Mazu Palace Temple for worship.

Mazu is a sea god, and offering sacrifices to Mazu with seafood is another feature. Because seafood can't be preserved for a long time, believers use some seafood crustaceans instead. Therefore, Mazu Tempel often sees big clam shells, conch shells, lobster shells and big corals. These offerings have been on display for many years and become works of art in temples. In addition, the believers in Putian, Mazu's hometown, have a unique practice, that is, mixing seafood with pasta, drying it and offering it for a long time, commonly known as "putting on a banquet". The most famous banquet is the "Shuizu pilgrimage" in Meizhou Ancestral Temple. There are 36 porcelain plates filled with different kinds of noodles for kneading seafood, including fish, shrimp, turtle and crab. Its kneading and painting techniques are exquisite, lifelike and lifelike.
