What does it mean for Nanyue to draw lots for Chen Chen?

Nanyue Mountain is a famous mountain peak in China and one of the Buddhist holy places in China. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Nanyue holds a grand temple fair every year. One of the traditional ceremonies is drawing lots. Visitors can buy a long bamboo stick from the temple fair staff, with numbers and letters coded on it, representing different blessing meanings. You can ring the bell three times that day, and then draw lots for the blessing of the gods, hoping to get good luck and smoothness.

The significance of drawing lots is that it is a ritual to find answers. Whether it is Taoism, Confucianism or Buddhism, there is a traditional custom of seeking answers from the gods. In Nanyue Mountain Temple, drawing lots is a way to respect mountain gods, and it is also a manifestation of faith and tradition. When drawing lots, tourists should be awed and not disrespectful, so as not to provoke wrath.

The result of the lottery is different for everyone, but the result is not important. What matters is the process itself, which makes people feel a mysterious power. In this process, everyone does not decide his own destiny, but puts his own destiny in the hands of the gods. This mentality also reflects the embodiment of the concept of "destiny" in China traditional culture. Drawing lots is also one of the ways for people to put aside all anxiety and troubles and find inner peace in a busy modern society.
