A digital version of the wooden fish (a Buddhist percussion instrument struck during chanting) that users tap on their phone screen for stress relief, each tap accompanied by a satisfying sound and a counter tracking accumulated "merit points" — a fully secular, ironic ritual borrowing religious form for anxiety management.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"工作压力大的时候就点点电子木鱼，功德+1。"

Chinese internet phenomenon that spread from 2022 onward as apps and mini-programs let users tap a virtual wooden fish icon to rack up merit points, adapting a genuine Buddhist devotional practice into a widely shared, tongue-in-cheek digital stress-relief ritual detached from any real religious intent.
