The Buddha statue in Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang was found to be covered with pulp by tourists. What is your comment?

It is wrong and inappropriate for tourists to touch Buddha statues and find out the pulp. On the surface, this is a small thing, but in fact, it is not. Through this small thing, we can see a lot of things.

Thinking from the perspective of tourists, touching the Buddha statue is an act of praying for blessings. They hope that through this behavior, they can cure themselves of illness and disaster and bring good luck. This behavior originated from my country's traditional tourism culture concept. It cannot be said to be wrong, but you should make a judgment before touching it to determine whether it can be touched. The Buddha statues in Longmen Grottoes are world cultural heritages and are obviously not allowed to be touched. If you can't touch it, don't touch it (except if there is a touching place specially set up for tourists to touch the Buddha statue). If every tourist could do this, this problem would never happen again.

Thinking from the perspective of the scenic spot management department, Luoyang Longmen Grottoes is not only a national key cultural relic protection unit, but also listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO. Since it is so important, it must be as perfect as possible. protective measures to provide the greatest possible protection. But it is obvious that the removal of patina from a Buddha statue cannot be done in one day or by one person. It requires a process. So when the early signs of this phenomenon appear, protective measures should be taken in time, and it will not What happened next happened.

It is understood that the wire protection net (one of the protective measures) added by the management department later had a very good effect, and it was not too late, and the damage was not irreversible. This point, It’s time to give the attraction management department a thumbs up. In addition, the management department should not ignore or stifle the tourists' needs for fun. From the perspective of meeting the needs of tourists, they can also set up some Buddha statues for tourists to touch and pray for, achieving a win-win situation.

Looking at it from a deeper perspective, tourists carelessly touch Buddha statues in scenic spots, causing damage to the Buddha statues and exposing the pulp. This behavior also reflects the quality of tourists in our country. This problem has been around for a long time. , but our people are working hard to improve and make progress. I believe that through the joint efforts of everyone, the problem of low quality tourists will eventually be solved, and we will usher in a new and better world.
