To make a comprehensive view of the research achievements of Mazu culture, experts and scholars mostly apply themselves to the in-depth research of the nature of Mazu worship, its cause and effect and also its prevalence trend. Very few of them will make research to Mazu Statue sculpture from aesthetics view. In this article, penman will choose a statue of Mazu from Putian Wenfeng Temple as the research basis, and through plenty of field investigations and the reference of Mazu documentary files, to analyze it from aesthetics angle and to open out its culture connotation and make a comparatively exacter textual research to this statue of Mazu.During the image analysis and textual research, penman find statue of Mazu from Wenfeng Temple with realism sculpture and that exactly re-show Mazu's image of being easy-gong, being respectable among her disciples, which embodies disciple's desire to gain maternity worship. And at the same time, that expresses Mazu as the token of female deity worship and implies han-race's tradition of female consciousness and presents deep-seated culture symbol meaning and finally refracts the maternity kindness among people to make the female deity role totally shown. It can be concluded that the statue of Mazu was the cultural relic of Baihu Shunji Temple in Nansong Dynasty and the carving time was among the years of 1157---1193. Its advanced carving skill makes great contributions to subsequent Mazu Statue carving and Mazu culture prevalence.Penman also expects more researchful scholars to make further research on the statue of Mazu and to correct what is wrong and to do some contributions to the prevalence of Mazu culture.
