Why is there no incense in Sansheng Temple in Pengzhou?

The reasons are the passage of time, the development of counties and cities, and the implementation of modern science and technology.

1. Time goes by: Sansheng Temple in Pengzhou is influenced by history and culture. At first, mainly religious people came to worship, but with the passage of time and social changes, the overall proportion of religious people declined, so the incense situation of some Buddhist temples may be affected to some extent.

2. Development of counties and cities: With the development of economy and urbanization, in some cases, the focus of urban planning may shift from culture and religion to commerce and tourism, which may also have a certain impact on some temples.

3. Promote modern science and technology: Now people pay more and more attention to the process of environmental protection. Because the small flame ignited by incense is a serious source of smoke pollution, some temples advocate that believers should not light incense in order to protect the environment.
