介紹
台灣的媽祖信仰由海神，逐漸演化為全能女神，無論是大小街莊、山海聚落，還是通都大邑，都可看到媽祖廟。千里眼、順風耳為媽祖之左右侍衛，相傳兄弟倆名高明、高覺，為殷紂部將，遭姜子牙制伏，死後陰魂據桃花山為惡，媽祖收伏為侍。
以傳統形象雕作天上聖母，須將其聞聲救苦的莊嚴、稍顯豐腴，略帶一絲淺笑的慈悲面容表現出，恰如其分地端坐儀態表現，精緻的雕工與漆線裝飾，是此作品的精華處。
Mazu beliefs in Taiwan have transformed from the guardian of sea then a almighty goddess. No matter in big city or small town, village by mountains or sea, capital city or middle of nowhere, you can find Mazu temples. Two guardian generals of Mazu are known as "Thousand Miles Eye" (Qianli Yan) and "With-the-Wind Ear" (Shunfeng Er). According to legend, the two brothers were named Gao Ming and Gao Jue. They were generals of the Yin Dynasty and were subdued by Jiang Ziya. After their death, their ghosts came to Taohua Mountain, and they were being evil there, and Mazu subdued them as servants. This artwork carved Mazu in a traditional image. Her solemnity, slightly plump, and compassionate face with a slight smile must be shown when she hears the call to save the suffering. Her sitting posture should be appropriately expressed, and the exquisite carvings and lacquer line decorations must be displayed. This is the essence of this work.
