We carried out the near-infrared ($JHK_{\rm s}$) imaging polarimetric observation with the polarimeter SIRPOL on the Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) 1.4 m telescope and [C II] line mapping observation with a Fabry-Pérot spectrometer on board a 100 cm TIFR balloon-borne far-infrared telescope toward NGC 6334, We reveal the relationship between the plane-of-sky (POS) magnetic fields and [C II] emission lines to investigate the star formation in the molecular cloud. The polarization vector map shows that the POS magnetic fields are approximately perpendicular to the main filament elongation of NGC 6334. However, the POS magnetic fields tend to be parallel or random for the other filaments in NGC 6334. The [C II] emission shows a distribution well aligned with the main filament. Strong [C II] emission is also seen in the hub-filament system. Because the main filament is sandwiched between two H II regions, it is most likely that gas is efficiently accreting from the shells of the H II regions along the magnetic field, resulting in active star formation. This is consistent with NGC 6334 being bright in [C II] emission.
