The Matsu castanets are a percussion instrument originating from Taiwan, specifically associated with the worship of Matsu, the Chinese goddess of the sea. It consists of two wooden clappers connected by a string or cord, allowing them to be struck together to produce a rhythmic clacking sound. The Matsu Clacker is often used in religious ceremonies and festivals dedicated to Matsu, where devotees use it as part of their rituals to invoke blessings and protection from the goddess. Its distinctive sound is believed to carry symbolic significance and is an integral part of the cultural and spiritual heritage of Taiwan.
