While young people are constantly "going crazy" because of work and performance appraisals, they are also constantly exploring how to become "mentally stable adults". On weekends and holidays, instead of shopping at the mall for temporary pleasures, they flock to temples to pray for blessings. Some netizens ridiculed: In the process of motivation and work, young people choose incense.

A large number of merchants have keenly grasped this change and have begun to introduce experiential goods to provide new emotional value to young people. Among them, services such as paid scripture copying came into being, and although they are expensive, they are popular with young people.
The fee for 3 hours is 200 yuan, and paying to copy scriptures has become a good business
Searching for the keyword "scripture copying" on Meituan, I found that there are already more than 70 stores that provide scripture copying services, and the nearest one is only 143 meters away.

These shops are usually located near scenic spots or commercial areas, and are combined with tea spaces or tea houses for scripture copying activities. They not only provide scripture copying services, but also incorporate experiences such as tea tasting and tea brewing around the hearth. The interior is decorated with a simple and elegant wooden square table and sliding door, bamboo chairs and a delicate porcelain tea set. In addition, many restaurants and coffee shops have joined the scripture copying project.

I looked carefully through the shops and found that the price of copying scriptures ranged from 68 yuan to 298 yuan. Some are unlimited for a long time, while others are indicated in the package for a maximum of 2 or 3 hours. The services offered by these shops are not limited to simple copying, but also include essential items such as brushes and scriptures, as well as exquisite refreshments and seasonal fruits.

There are also some packages that seem to be "good quality and cheap", with prices mostly at 9.9 yuan and 19.9 yuan, but it is written in the package that they need to be used with other tea sets.

Some special packages also offer more value-added services. For example, a 178 yuan 2-hour time-limited scripture copying package provides a complete set of scripture copying processes, including hand washing, sitting, elaboration and pranayama, and a special person will accompany you throughout the process. After the scripture is copied, customers can also exchange ideas with the shopkeeper.

Some netizens who have experienced it said: I also go to the tea room every day to copy the scriptures, and I feel very comfortable. There are also many netizens who are ready to move: about a working day to copy scriptures, and on Saturday, there is a sister appointment, although they can't write with a brush, but they want to feel the atmosphere.
