In March, Mazu, tens of thousands of believers, Dajia Mazu and Baishatun Mazu around the Twenty -one Township and Township and Township, or whether to be held as usual, have become an epidemic and defense war.When scientific rationality encounters religious beliefs, the most afraid of people's personal myocardial stalks; the host said: Mazu will bless, if the city will not do it, should the suspension of responsibility to Mazu or the government?Faith is of course important, but the examples of South Korea and Hong Kong caused a big infection due to religious activities.

Yan Qingbiao, the chairman of Zhenlan Palace, announced yesterday that the Dajia Mazu will be held as scheduled, but it will streamlined the scale, cancel the activities such as driving banquets, party, and wishes.In this regard, the Ministry of the Interior only responded weakly, and it was necessary to make a record of the extension.However, the diffusion of the virus does not recognize the religious martial arts. No matter how devout or the magical mask is the missionary or believers considering it, the crowd is risk of infection.

Historically, the black death broke out in Europe in the fourteenth century, causing more than 70 million people to die, which has seriously shaken the status of Roman Catholicism that was dominated by Europe at that time.At that time, in order to soothe people, the Pope announced that if the believer arrived at the Roman pilgrimage, he could enter the heaven directly without going through the purgatory.Thousands of pilgrims responded warmly, and the road of pilgrimage became a journey of plague. The plague spread along the way.The religious enthusiasm could not be removed from the plague. The disaster of the century caused many people to doubt the church.

Looking at the recent examples of South Korea and Hong Kong, Yin Jian was in front of him.In South Korea, due to the activities of the Xintiandi Church, large -scale clustering infections broke out in Daegu and Dannan Hospital; 240,000 believers will be fully tested, resulting in great consumption of Korean medical capacity.In particular, the church believers depending on the disease of the body as a crime, so they will deliberately tolerate their discomfort, which not only increases the difficulty of confirming the history of contact, but also leads to the infection of the patient with the patient without knowing it, which worsen the epidemic.Another group of Korean believers not only cross -infected in the pilgrimage of Israel, but also brought the virus to the Middle East, making the local country's winds.

Look at the example of Hong Kong.Seven people have been diagnosed in the Fuhui Jingshe Temple in North Point in Hong Kong. Is this Buddha not blessed?After the protection personnel were tested, the Buddhist temple detected the positive samples of the new crown virus from the surface of the Buddhist scriptures and the faucet of the toilet.The Buddhist temple will send the believers on the first and fifteenth day of the first and fifteen fifteen fifteen, and hold the ceremony of incense and praying; this shows that the longer the cluster time of the believers, the greater the risk of interactive infection.

Epidemic prevention is regarded as combat. If you are a little careless, you may lose all.The piety of the people must be fully supported; but at the severe moment of epidemic prevention and resistance, you may choose to obey the opinions of experts and break the form of formation. This is also an important manifestation of respect for the gods and compassion.Observing the past and incense activities of Mazu. Although many times are outdoors, they often have frequent contacts and diets of the masses, and cleaning and sanitary facilities are not as convenient on weekdays.Once accidentally, a large number of clustering infections occur, in addition to causing the existing medical and epidemic prevention and manpower to be more tight, it will also increase the load and challenges of our health and epidemic prevention system.

In this case, in addition to the organizers must think carefully, government departments should also propose specific standards for standardization in order to follow all sectors of society.If even the international event of the Tokyo Olympics may be suspended, our Mazu enters the incense to go around but does not know how to avoid evil, it is too negligent.In particular, how to ensure that all believers can be ensured for nine days and eight nights. If you only rely on the palace temple host to pat the chest to ensure that Mazu will be blessed, it seems that it is not too convincing.

Ye Jinchuan, a public health expert who had experienced anti -shame, made a warning that two of the hundred signs would be died, can you not be afraid?Do you want to draw?This is not alarmist. Mazu will bless and religious people, but people who cannot help them blocked the virus.Including Foguangshan, Tzu Chi, Fagushan and other large -scale groups have announced that large -scale activities have been postponed.In addition, the Songshan Ciyou Palace and the Xizhi Jiide Palace who also believed in Mazu also suspended the incense and south tour after asking the gods.This is a rational decision, and it is definitely not unpolved; if you really respect and believe in Mazu, don't bother Mazu!
