Spiritual values can be a source of meaning for people, and can also determine their feelings, behavior, and mental health. In China's Buddhist mountains, we collected a total of 400 valid questionnaires from Mount Putuo and Mount Jiuhua, and identified spiritual values as transcendence, general connectedness, inner balance, positive life direction, and special religious feelings. We also explored the impact of these spiritual values on tourists' psychological wellbeing according to the PERMA model (positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement). The results revealed that the more easily attained spiritual values (general connectedness, positive life direction, and special religious feelings) had a greater influence on psychological wellbeing than the less easily-attained spiritual values (transcendence and inner balance). Positive emotion and meaning, as components of psychological wellbeing, were strongly influenced by the four spiritual values, whereas engagement, accomplishment, and relationships were influenced by fewer spiritual values. The research contributes to the existing knowledge on spiritual values by analyzing their dimensions and relationships with tourists' wellbeing from different levels, and also provides empirical suggestions for the sustainable development of religious tourism destinations.
精神价值可以成为人们意义的来源，也能决定他们的情感、行为和心理健康。在中国的佛教名山，我们从普陀山和九华山共收集了400份有效问卷，并将精神价值确定为超越、普遍联系、内心平衡、积极的生活方向和特殊的宗教情感。我们还根据PERMA模型（积极情绪、投入、人际关系、意义和成就）探讨了这些精神价值对游客心理健康的影响。结果显示，较易获得的精神价值（普遍联系、积极的生活方向和特殊的宗教情感）对心理健康的影响大于较难获得的精神价值（超越和内心平衡）。积极情绪和意义作为心理健康的组成部分，受到这四种精神价值的强烈影响，而投入、成就和人际关系受到的精神价值影响较少。该研究通过从不同层面分析精神价值的维度及其与游客幸福感的关系，为现有的精神价值知识做出了贡献，也为宗教旅游目的地的可持续发展提供了实证建议。
