The Mazu belief is prevalent along the southeastern coast of China and has significant influence both domestically and internationally. In Guangxi, this tradition dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties and has integrated with local cultural elements to form a unique belief system. The Mazu Festival, held once every three years, showcases distinct characteristics in the portrayal of Mazu and related objects. These distinctions are evident in clothing, body shaping, and line expression, all of which reflect the local aesthetics of Guangxi. Summarizing the aesthetic features of this tradition can be effectively applied to the expression of regional artworks.
