11 November: Zheng He and Mazu: History, Perception and Cult
The spectacular travels of Zheng He to the Indian Ocean have been exploited by the Chinese media for various purposes for quite some time. The historian, Zheng He, not only fought for Buddhist and Confucian ideals, but at the same time was a Muslim and also helped spread the so-called Mazu cult. The latter had its roots in the coastal province of Fujian, and was also “politically” conquered, ie, by the state, during certain periods and for certain purposes.
