Why is temple tourism so popular?

Traveling to temples has quietly become popular among young people. In addition to seaside holidays, theme parks and other tourist punch points, more and more young people pin their relaxation on temples.

First, the outbreak of temple tourism mainly depends on its own charm.

The temple is suitable for the city of Zhou Bianyou, and its tourism is relatively convenient. Its antique buildings, red walls and yellow tiles, cornices and arches show its national style. Walking in the temple and feeling the calm and pious atmosphere, "slow swimming" is a good way for young people to relax.

Second, many young people pray for exams, work and marriage, and temples also carry young people's beautiful expectations for the future.

Young people are faced with many important choices in life. Going to the temple is equivalent to giving the mind a "placebo". Someone said, "Jiming Temple always goes to Nanjing. I like the atmosphere there, which is quiet and peaceful, away from the impetuousness and pressure of society."

Third, now, the temple has been injected with youthful vitality.

The phrase "the cherry blossoms in Jiming Temple are in bloom" attracted groups of young people to punch in and take pictures; The eighteen bracelets in Lingyin Temple are exquisite and beautiful, and young people line up for hours to buy bracelets. Take out 50 yuan to take a photo with the Potala Palace in front of you, and countless people on the short video platform took the same picture.

In recent years, temples have become interesting. Faxi Temple has launched a variety of canvas bags printed with lovely patterns, as well as interesting words such as "Buddha is life" and "I am doomed to leave the day, and I need to watch urgently". Yongfu temple's coffee is called Bates. Tearing off the lid can unlock different greetings. Who doesn't like the idea?

Fourth, escaping from life and pressure is the fundamental reason behind the "rejuvenation" of temples.

The present social environment has brought unprecedented pressure to this generation of young people. With the rapid development of social economy, behind the prevalence of "Buddhism, housing and mourning" culture, young people are forced to "low desire". Outside the wall, there are endless schoolwork, endless jobs, soaring housing prices, rising prices and eternal wages ... Once all roads lead to Rome, now all roads lead to Rome. And inside the wall, it is a faint Zen language, and the bell is ringing. Here, apart from sightseeing, what is hidden in the deepest part of young people's hearts is a short separation from the outside world and a quiet soul.

Going to the temple to worship Buddha opens a new window for people to have a short rest and escape from life and stress.

The unknown power of gods and buddhas provides a temporary pause at uncertain moments, which can satisfy young people's desire for certainty and give people the possibility of healing "spiritual internal friction".

From other angles, the process of young people choosing to worship Buddha is not just a dialogue with the unknown and seeking an equal experience; Or in the process of dialogue, it is a process of dialogue with yourself to explore the heart again and again for comfort.

6. Behind the popularity of "Temple Fair Tour" is the reconciliation of anxiety among young people.

On the one hand, the quiet ancient temple has a beautiful environment and is far away from the noise, which is in sharp contrast with the bustling downtown. Moreover, most temples are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and many projects such as climbing mountains, playing with water and enjoying flowers can be completed at one time while worshipping Buddha.
