UNESCO's own listing for Mazu belief and customs, inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009. Its strength is that it is an international body's own formal documentation of Mazu worship as a genuinely living tradition, naming its ceremonies, household practices and approximately five thousand temples worldwide. Its limit is that it documents the tradition itself rather than this specific television series, so it is cited here to ground the living, ongoing nature of the religion the series dramatizes.
