Holy Grail Returned

In Shishi Village on the coast of western Guangdong, the Mazu New Year Parade on the second day of the first lunar month, which lasts for centuries, is about to take place. Lin Lan, a 17-year-old girl who has served as a Mazu maiden for six consecutive years and is regarded as the "Little Mazu" by the villagers, was temporarily replaced by the Xu family, a wealthy businessman who returned to her hometown to donate money. The other party wanted their 10-year-old daughter Xu Han to board the shrine, completely breaking the century-old ancestral system of "non-Holy Grail certification is not allowed to be a maiden". This storm of temporary replacement spread from the dispute in the ancestral hall to the entire parade ceremony. The eight attempts to throw the Holy Grail were rejected, the deadlock, the motionless mikoshi, and the belief of the whole village was shaken. In the end, Lin Lan, who had been replaced, returned to his position, and all participants understood the true meaning of Mazu's beliefs and centuries-old rules.
