In ancient times, people went to temples to pray to gods and buddhas, and they also asked for a sign just to get answers.

Going to the temple to worship Buddha is to pray and ask the Buddha what he wants to ask, such as marriage, career or health. However, the Buddha statues enshrined in the temple certainly can't speak, so they can't give the Buddha an answer. But people who come to pray for Buddha are full of confusion, hoping that Buddha can help them solve their doubts.

In order for the Buddha seekers to leave without doubt, they need to apply for a visa. At that time, the sign represented the Buddha's answer, because when signing, all the signs came out randomly, so what came out represented the answer to the question just asked. People who come to ask for Buddha naturally want to know the answer the Buddha gave them. Therefore, the ancients would ask for a visa after worshipping God, hoping to see the answer given by the Buddha.

And in the process of applying for a visa, it is possible to get a visa, and everyone hopes to get this luck. After all, it was superstitious in ancient times. If you can win the lottery, the ancients will feel that they will have good luck, and then they will be smooth sailing in the future. Driven by this psychological effect, they may be happier.

Winning the lottery feels like winning the lottery, especially for the poor in ancient times, they rarely have the opportunity to win the lottery or encounter particularly happy things, and asking for the lottery is exactly what can bring hope and fun to their lives. Therefore, every time after worshipping Buddha, everyone is used to asking for a visa, hoping that they can make good luck.

For example, someone asked about their marriage. If a contract can be drawn, it means that their marriage may be coming soon. This is also a reply to my question, and I am full of hope for the future.
