天津的妈祖文化的民间信仰已经有七百多年的历史了,妈祖文化渗透了天津城市文化的方方面面。天津对妈祖的祭祀也成为天津民俗文化中最重要的部分之一。葛沽宝辇会是中国北方惟一的以盛会形式完成祭祀妈祖的特别样式,也是唯一一个以宝辇作为祭祀中心环节出现的民俗活动,因此具有浓郁的地方特色和信仰崇拜。葛沽宝辇会不仅是历史遗留的瑰宝,而且是地域文化的活化石,这一民俗盛会可以流传至今证明了其具有巨大的文化魅力和时代价值。 The folk belief of the Mazu culture in Tianjin has been more than 700 years old, and the Mazu Culture has infiltrated all aspects of Tianjin’s urban culture. The worship of Matsu in Tianjin has also become one of the most important parts of Tianjin folk culture. Geku Ba Po is the only special event in northern China to offer sacrifices to Mazu in the form of a gala event and the only folklore event to take Baodi as a sacrificial center. Therefore, it has rich local features and religious adoration. Gegu Baodi will not only be a treasure left over from history, but also be a living fossil of regional culture. This folklore event can be circulated so far and has proved its great cultural charm and the value of the times.
