Fortune-telling in Boao Temple _ Is Fortune-telling in Boao Temple true?

Twenty years after the establishment of Hainan Province, four large-scale temples, namely, Sanya Nanshan Temple, Qionghai Boao Temple, Ding 'an Wenbifeng Temple and Chengmai Yongqing Temple, have been built or are under construction. As an atheist, I am not only worried about Hainan's social and ideological prospects.

Article 36 of the Constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that People's Republic of China (PRC) citizens have freedom of religious belief. As a citizen of China, I have no right to interfere with Hainan people's freedom of religious belief. On the contrary, I have always been in awe of the traditional beliefs of Hainan people. Army slope festival, eating public holidays, flower changing festival. . . I have also participated in many times, pushing a cup for a change with local friends in Hainan and sharing family affection. Of course, out of conscience, I must whip the feudal dross, but I have always recognized the excellent cultural core of Hainan traditional culture, that is, "respect for heaven, respect for land, respect for family and respect for teachers." In a word, Hainan local traditional Chinese culture is actually the inheritance and creation of China traditional Confucian culture. This kind of culture, to put it bluntly, is the cornerstone of Hainan people's survival; To put it bluntly, it is to link Hainan, which is isolated from overseas, with Chinese mainland.

Since the establishment of Hainan Province, dreamers or gold diggers have flocked from all over the country (including the author), and the traditional culture of Hainan is inevitably influenced and impacted by the ideology and culture of major cultural regions in the country. Hainan, especially Haikou and Sanya, is becoming an immigrant city with increasingly diverse ideas, most of which are the essence, but there are also many dross. In the author's view, the dross that has caused the greatest harm to Hainan's ideological and cultural fields is the construction of many temples.

A careful analysis of the temples and Taoist temples built in Hainan in the past 20 years is certainly related to the good intentions of the majority of believers to promote religion and help the world, but there are several reasons to say: First, to make money, artificially build scenic spots to attract tourists to visit. Imagine that most of the tickets, incense money and donations from the majority of believers (in fact, the most dubious tourists) have gone into the pockets of developers, and it is strange that the Buddha in the West and Guanyin in the South China Sea are not angry! The second is the private territory of some religious tycoons. Some rich people who developed by the good policy of * * * don't thank * * *, but think that it is a gift from heaven, blessed by the Buddha, and there is smoke on their ancestral graves, so they build large-scale projects, spend the hard-earned money of shareholders and employees like running water, pretend to put on a shelf, and become "laymen" who eat up fireworks. Third, it is purely a tourism project or artificial feng shui built by the local government. Some decision makers do not study materialism, "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" and Scientific Outlook on Development, but believe in monsters, divination and fortune telling. Therefore, to develop tourism, we must first create gods, and construction projects should look at Feng Shui. Finally, simply build a temple, euphemistically called for the benefit of future generations. I don't know, building temples can not only destroy the natural ecology, but also create benefits for future generations.
