Cyber Zen Culture
The 'Digital Woodfish' (电子木鱼) has become a viral phenomenon among young people as a way to relieve stress and 'accumulate merit' (积功德) in the metaverse. Traditionally, a woodfish (muyuan) is a percussion instrument used by monks during chanting. This digital version captures the satisfying 'thock' sound and rhythmic tapping experience, offering a moment of zen in a busy digital life.
