When I did an interview with a middle-aged woman, she told me her concerns: She is a housewife and usually goes to the temple every day to burn incense and worship Buddha for the whole family. During the epidemic, the temples are closed one after another. She feels that she has lost the sense of security in reality and faith, so she is very unaccustomed and anxious.
I realize now in China, many people are facing this situation. In China, almost all the cities have their temples.
According to a report from Phoenix Expo, as religion and folk beliefs are vaguely defined in China, it is difficult to have a consistent answer. But according to a survey conducted by Horizon early in 2014, 120 million people over the age of 16 in China claim that they do not believe in a specific religion but believe in the existence of gods, Buddhas, or ghosts. 141 million believe in the god of wealth, 145 million believe in Feng Shui, and 206 million recognize their ancestors and gods exist. Not to mention that there is a custom of going to temples to worship Buddha on the first and fifteenth day of the new year.
So I started to pay attention to issues related to temples under the epidemic.
