Coin-toss fortune-telling

Why do people in China toss coins to pray?

I believe that when friends travel to some scenic spots, they must have seen many tourists like to throw coins in fish ponds, water tanks and fountains. Because China people believe that throwing a coin can pray, then why throw a coin to pray?

It turns out that the act of tossing a coin for blessing originated in Europe and Rome. It is said that you can make a wish by tossing a coin with your back to the fountain in Rome. As long as you throw them out, it means that the gods have heard your wish, and this wish is very likely to come true. It was not until the end of the 20th century that the ceremony of "praying with money" was introduced to China, and soon after it was introduced to China, it was carried forward. Nowadays, in China, tossing a coin for blessing is actually an act of bribing the gods with money, which is the same as the act of burning incense in Buddhist temples by Buddhist believers. However, the reason why we throw a coin to pray now is because the currency just circulating in Rome at that time was a coin, and only when the coin fell into the water would it make a sound for the gods to hear, so that the wishes of the people who prayed for blessings could be realized.

So until today, people continue this habit of tossing a coin for blessing. Although there is no difference between good and bad when throwing coins for blessing, throwing coins around blindly is likely to lead to serious consequences. For example, some time ago, an 80-year-old woman threw a handful of coins at the engine of a passenger plane at Shanghai Pudong International Airport in order to pray! Fortunately, it was found in time, otherwise it is very likely that the plane will be destroyed in the end. So friends must be rational when they pray in the future! Little friends, what do you think of this blessing ceremony?
