In the long-lost spring of 2023, the mainland tourism industry is on fire, who would have thought that the most popular attraction turned out to be a temple.
According to Ctrip's data, the number of ticket orders for temple-related scenic spots this year increased by 310% year-on-year. Among the people who booked tickets, the post-90s and post-00s accounted for nearly half.
In the past, most of the people who went to the temple were elderly, either praying for high scores in their children's exams or blessing their families with peace. But now, the crowd of temple tourists has become young people, not only to relieve psychological pressure, but also to pursue personal goals.
For example, go to Wat Pho Temple to get a job offer; Go to Lingyin Temple in order to succeed in the postgraduate examination; Go to the Lama Temple and seek business success. In conclusion, it seems that in the minds of young people, the answer to anything can be found in the temple.
Lama Temple, Lingyin Temple, Xiangji Temple, Jiming Temple, and Faxi Temple are the most popular temple attractions. Now these places are overcrowded, and the bodhisattvas receive tourists 24 hours a day.
Why are young people keen to go to temples? What exactly are they praying for?
People ridicule, "burn dozens of pieces of incense, make tens of millions of wishes", revealing the most simple reason why young people enter the temple. Recently, a particularly popular saying is that college students choose between doing questions and cheating. Young people choose to go to work and be motivated, and choose to go to incense. Now, "it is better to ask others for themselves than to ask for Buddha", spiritual signs, incense, and prayers, even if they are enlightened or not, can help them relieve anxiety.
"In the Temple of Wealth, the head of the temple of wealth can not kneel, and ignores the marriage tree" perhaps, this sentence is the most true portrayal of contemporary young people bent on making money and pursuing careers.
It can be seen from the statistics that in this era of high uncertainty, people's greatest wish is the safety and health of the whole family; Everyone has experienced the irritability and anxiety of exams, so the temple becomes a place for them to seek peace and comfort.
The rise of temple fever reflects the anxiety and uneasiness of young people about modern society. They seek spiritual satisfaction and pacification through temples, embodying modern people's attitude and values to life.
While temple tours are becoming increasingly popular among young people, we shouldn't forget to find out what they really need.
Is it better to have employment opportunities? Or a more stable living environment? Or is it a fairer social system?
Only by understanding these can we better care for and support the growth and development of young people, rather than simply asking them to pray with incense, so that all expectations can only be blessed by Buddha!
