近日，一段視頻在國內外社交平臺引發熱議。一名戴墨鏡的中國年輕男子在東京淺草寺的行為令人目瞪口呆：他居然從衣兜裡掏出一疊冥幣，大搖大擺地投入寺廟的求簽功德箱。

視頻中，該男子站在淺草寺本堂前，先指著屋頂的壁畫稱其為「中國唐代風格」（實際上是日本鎌倉時代仿唐風格，於1958年重建時創作）。隨後，他說道：「日本的簽求不了中國人的幸福，中國人的幸福靠自己。」同行的人還插話說：「你騙鬼子呢？」話音剛落，這名男子便從上衣口袋抽出印有「天地銀行」字樣的冥幣，塞進功德箱，隨後大搖大擺地搖簽筒抽簽。

他抽到的編號是68號吉簽，看到結果後還高興地念出簽文：「異夢生英傑，前來事可疑，芳菲春日暖，依舊發殘枝。」這一幕被拍攝下來後上傳網路，引發大量討論與批評。

日本網友對此反應強烈又好氣又好笑。一位推特用戶ID為「のらいぬ」吐槽：「這哥們是不是參加什麼缺德比賽？活人用冥幣，這不就是在自找倒楣嗎？」另一位則直言：「淺草寺明明寫著要投100日圓，他這算使用假幣，已經違反刑法了！」還有懂行的日本網友分析簽文，指出其內容暗示若不自重，即使眼前好事也可能虛幻無常，似乎正好應驗了這名男子的行為。

淺草寺是東京最古老的寺廟，每年接待超過3000萬遊客，寺廟的求簽規矩明確規定需投100日圓。網友普遍認為，該男子的行為不僅是對寺廟文化的不尊重，也反映出部分網路炫耀行為的浮誇與缺乏禮儀意識。

In recent days, a video has gone viral on social media both in China and abroad, sparking intense debate. In the footage, a young Chinese man wearing sunglasses behaves shockingly at Tokyo’s famous Sensō-ji Temple: he casually pulls out a stack of spirit money—paper offerings used for the dead—and tosses it into the temple’s omikuji donation box.

The video shows the man standing before the main hall of Sensō-ji. He first points at the ceiling murals and claims they are “from China’s Tang dynasty,” even though the artwork is actually Kamakura-era, Tang-style reconstruction created in 1958. He then declares, “Japanese fortunes can’t bless Chinese people. Chinese people create their own happiness.” A companion off-camera adds, “You’re tricking these Japanese, huh?”

Right after this, the man pulls out the stack of “Heaven and Earth Bank” spirit money from his pocket, slides a bill into the donation box, and proceeds to shake the omikuji fortune cylinder as if nothing were wrong.

He eventually draws fortune No. 68—classified as a “good fortune”—and happily reads the poem aloud: “A strange dream brings forth a hero; the matter ahead remains uncertain. Spring warmth brings blossoms again upon old branches.” The entire incident was recorded and uploaded online, immediately igniting massive discussion and criticism.

Japanese netizens reacted with a mix of anger, disbelief, and dark humor. One user on X (Twitter), “のらいぬ,” remarked, “Is this guy competing in some kind of ‘lack of morals contest’? Using spirit money while you’re alive—he’s basically cursing himself.” Another wrote, “Sensō-ji clearly states you must donate 100 yen. This is fake money. That’s literally a criminal offense!”

A more knowledgeable commenter even examined the fortune’s text and pointed out that it warns against failing to respect oneself—implying that blessings may turn illusory if one behaves improperly. Many joked that the fortune was inadvertently describing the man’s own stunt.

Sensō-ji is Tokyo’s oldest temple and one of its most important cultural landmarks, receiving more than 30 million visitors annually. Its fortune-drawing procedure clearly specifies the required 100-yen donation. Many online commenters criticized the young man’s behavior as disrespectful to the temple’s cultural traditions and symptomatic of a broader trend of online clout-chasing that disregards basic etiquette.
