2009年1月30日，農曆正月初五，是民間傳說的“財神菩薩”生日，所以近些年每到正月初五零時前後，到(湖北武漢)歸元寺敬香求財的人源源不斷。
歸元寺方丈隆印告訴記者，歸元寺拜財神的習俗始於1998年，此後10年中，每到正月初五零時前後，通往歸元寺的幾條路上總是擠得水泄不通，請香、敬香的香客絡繹不絕。2009年1月29日夜至30日晨，約30萬市民前往歸元寺敬香祈福迎祥。在金融危機的陰影下，人們的企求似乎增添了一種新的意味，想要在裊裊煙火中找到些許希望。
What Do The Chinese People Really Want? (01/31/2009)
First of all, you can forget about getting the answer to the question from the western media. This does not mean to say that the western media are biased as such. Rather, the western media are writing for a western audience and must therefore cater to their tastes, values, attitudes, beliefs and lifestyles. Thus, we have articles about Hip Hop in China which is virtually unknown over there. Meanwhile, the "real" China is silently and invisibly (as far as western media reports go) moving on ahead.
Here is a couple of photos (via NetEase) that will show you what the Chinese people really want. This is an impressive sight. Reportedly more than 600,000 Chinese people were out there (source: Changjiang Daily). More than 3,000 police officers were out there to maintain public order.
If this was a mass incident or a demonstration, the western media would be there instantaneously. As it stands, here is the only report that I can find in Google News:

60萬香客雲集歸元寺創紀錄 警方多項措施保安全

（長江日報）（記者李銳 李亦中 通訊員黃進明 夏洪波）初四夜至初五下午5時，60萬市民陸續到漢陽歸元寺“拜財神”祈福敬香，創歷年人流之最。市公安局按照既定方案，組織2000余人投入安保工作，敬香活動現場及周邊地區未發生因人員擁擠造成的群死群傷和建築物坍塌等重大安全事故，未發生重大火災及交通事故。
農曆正月初五是傳說的“財神爺生日”，往年，初五零時前後到歸元寺敬香求財的人源源不斷，燃放鞭炮、點蠟燭、放天燈等帶來安全隱患。
為確保今年敬香安全，市公安局在年前即組織漢陽分局、交管、消防等部門，對歸元寺及沿線周邊進行全面安全檢查，及時發現和督促整改各類不安全隱患30餘處，並確定正月初四晚21時至次日淩晨1時歸元寺群眾敬香活動的安全風險等級為紅色等級。
市公安局成立指揮中心、治安、巡警、特警、交管、消防、公交分局和武警武漢支隊等17個單位參加總指揮部，加強對春節期間敬香活動安保工作的組織領導。
初四晚，各單位及時到崗，在寺廟內外織起一道嚴密的安保網。當晚，在寺門口共收繳鞭炮20余萬響，攔阻群眾攜帶的天燈、氫氣球等危險品100餘個，確保敬香秩序井然。
當晚，市委常委、副市長、公安局長胡緒鶤率市公安局黨委成員一行來到歸元寺，檢查、指導安保工作，對安保工作給予充分肯定。
