Only hard work can lead to success·Quanzhou

"Only those who work hard can win. What if you can't win? Pray to God!" Quanzhou has a wide variety of religions and is very popular, so it has always been called the "Office of All Gods." It is very appropriate to be here during the Chinese New Year. When you go to Quanzhou, you must take a look at the couplet at the entrance of the temple, it will be very interesting. I arrived at Guanyue Temple at about 7:30 in the morning. There were so many people that I had to squeeze in to see the words at the entrance of the temple. Sure enough, it said "What's the use of having a cunning and treacherous person come to the temple? It's okay if you are fair and upright and don't worship when you enter the temple." This is really Guan Gong. Since he was a child, Guan Gong has been an image of a chivalrous and upright boy. In the temple, you can use WeChat to scan the QR code to burn incense, and there are many kinds of incense, you can pray for peace, wealth, happiness, longevity, etc., everything is available to meet all kinds of needs, it's magical. After choosing one of the wishes, scan the QR code to pay the corresponding incense money, you can see the incense with your name on the big screen burning. In the blazing fire, there is a sense of domineering to flatten the world. Haha, burning incense online is a very magical experience. At one point I couldn't walk in front of this machine, and I kept scanning the QR code to burn money, praying for my family and friends, watching the virtual fire on the screen burning again and again, it was very magical Quanzhou is quite fun to visit. In two days, I was able to visit almost all the core temples and museums. The only drawback was that there were too many people during the Spring Festival, which somewhat affected my mood. There are not many people at Kaiyuan Temple at seven in the morning. The air is fresh, and there are ancient walls, green plants and white towers. It is very comfortable whether taking pictures or strolling around. Chengtian Temple is my favorite temple I have visited in Quanzhou. It is not crowded and very quiet. Watching the monks cleaning the incense burners in the temple seems to sweep away all the worldly worries. The Quanzhou Museum has a special area that explains religion and exhibits on the production of various puppet heads. This part is quite interesting and kept me going. There are many characteristic small teahouses and internet-famous dessert shops in Wudian City, but every one of them was packed. I basically just visited the ancestral halls. There were quite a few of them. Although I knew that there were many ancestral halls and temples in Quanzhou before I went there, I was still shocked to see the ancestral halls and temples everywhere when I arrived there. In Wudian City, ancestral halls are basically next to each other. The Chinese have a strong sense of family, and this is especially true here. Xiapu Village is a fishing village. Wearing flowers in your hair is a way of dressing for the girls here. A set of photos of Zhao Liying wearing flowers in her hair made this place popular. In Xiapu, basically the entire main street and the side alleys are full of girls wearing flowers in their hair and traditional costumes. Some take photos by themselves, while many choose local photographers to follow them. Flowers and smiles are the most beautiful things in the world, right? Luojia Temple is really beautiful. The temple is built on the sea and the temple walls are yellow. For northerners who are used to seeing temples on mountain tops with red brick walls, it is indeed refreshing. It’s just that there were too many people, so I didn’t take any good photos. The sky was particularly blue when I went there, and the white clouds were like feathers. I sat on the low wall in the temple and watched the sea for a long time. It was a little after four in the afternoon, and the sea breeze was not very strong. The wind and waves were beating against the rocks leisurely. I felt that time had stood still. This was the only moment when I felt inner peace in the hustle and bustle of the New Year in Quanzhou.
