Paper money, also known as dead money. In the old days, it was customary to burn paper money for ghosts or deceased people as an important ritual in the sacrifice of ghosts and gods. The superstitious belief that there is a world in the underworld that is the same as that of human society

The world of gods and ghosts. Those who die become members of that world, either ghosts or gods. Living children, relatives, and friends, in order to live in that world, pray for their memorial and give them gifts and money.

Among them, money is a money made of paper that is burned and given to one's relatives and friends in another world or to the god to whom oneself prays. This is the burning of paper money. And there is a story of Cai Mo burning paper money.

Legend has it that Cai Lun, who made paper in the Eastern Han Dynasty, had an elder brother named Cai Mo. Cai Lun invented paper, many people bought it, and Cai Lun made a fortune; Cai Mo's wife Huiniang couldn't help but be moved, so she asked her husband Cai Mo to go to Cai Lun to learn papermaking. After March, Cai Mo also set up a paper mill.

Who knows that Cai Mo is not good at learning, and no one cares about the paper he makes, looking at the house full of white paper bundles, the husband and wife are very sad, Hui Niang is smart, and she came up with a plan to ask Cai Mo to do this.

In the middle of the night on the third watch of this day, Cai Mo suddenly let out a sad voice, saying that his wife Huiniang quarreled with him, and he was hanged if he didn't close. He begged the villagers to make a clear proof for him, proving that Hui Niang died of a sudden illness, so as to blame Hui Niang's mother's family.

The next day, Cai Mo cried incessantly at the head of Huiniang's coffin, very sad. The people from her mother's family heard that Hui Niang died of a sudden illness, and saw Cai Mo's grief, so they stopped asking. Cai Mo said while crying, and finally brought a bundle of paper and burned it on the coffin

I think I'm incompetent and make this waste paper that no one wants to make you angry. What do I want this paper for? It's better to burn it to reduce the hatred in your heart.

Crying and burning, burning and crying, he heard the sound in the coffin, and he didn't say a word. Until Hui Niang shouted in the coffin: "Open the door, I'm back."

People were all stunned, and they heard Huiniang shouting tightly, so they had the courage to open the coffin. Hui Niang sat up and pretended to sing:

Give money, bow and incense, and persuade people to mourn. In fact, you know what you can't do.

Give money, and say that the incense is good. What else do you want to publish. I can't say anything myself.

The first step is to buy paper money and buy a lighter.

The second step is to light the money with a lighter.

The third step is to bow ......Two bows ............ bowing

If you burn paper money in a relative's cemetery, the family should kneel in front of the grave, light three incense sticks first, and offer some food. Then you can burn paper money by talking quietly with relatives. In some areas, as the thirty years approached, each family had to affix a couplet to the door and face, and then place the incense burner, candlestick, and articles on the table of the eight immortals on the north side of the hall.

Thirty years ago, the elders and others of the family would kneel outside the village, burn paper, light incense, and recite the names of their dead relatives, meaning to "summon" their souls to return home for the New Year, and then kowtow three times. When the "summoning" formula is complete, the family can get up and go home, and then the spirits of the deceased relatives will follow you home for the New Year.

There are many ways for people in our country to burn paper money, and the methods of burning paper money vary from place to place. At the age of thirty, the family would go to the village in advance to burn paper money for their relatives.

After inviting the family of the deceased home, they should first light incense candles. Before the whole family eats the reunion dinner, stir-fry some good dishes for the ancestors or relatives, put the steamed buns on the plate or on top of the rice in the bowl, and then put the chopsticks according to the number of relatives. Every household drinks wine and fills its cups.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the souls of loved ones are sent away, and the year is over.

The general Qingming of the deceased relatives, the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is carried out to sweep the sacrificial sweep, the spring flowers of the Qingming Festival are warm, the deceased relatives are spent, and the sorrow of the deceased relatives is sustenance, telling them that the weather is warm and it is time to change clothes, and the first day of October is the same, which entrusts the sacrifice sweepers to the memory of the deceased relatives, and it is time to add clothes when the weather is cold. In some places, the New Year is also to be swept, which entrusts the thoughts of the deceased relatives, and when the New Year is over, you can't forget them, tell them that the New Year is over, and look at them.

Because of the Chinese New Year, I have to send New Year's money to my deceased relatives.

During the Spring Festival, burning paper money for deceased relatives is an indispensable agenda for the Spring Festival here. On the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve, before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the male members of the family, especially the younger juniors, must participate, led by the older elders, generally starting from the cemetery of the ancestors of the higher generation, to the grave to burn paper money, and at the same time introduce the identity of the juniors involved in sending paper money, and then explain to the juniors that the owner of this cemetery is our certain ancestor, so that the juniors know the relationship between the owner of Wu Jian's cemetery and themselves. Then light the candles, respectfully insert four incense sticks, kneel in front of the grave to the ancestors to bow three times and bow nine times, and tell the ancestors that the New Year is over, and they are here to take the ancestors home for the New Year.

Finally, light the firecrackers, remove the weeds near the candles, and turn over the embers that have not burned enough to completely burn out. Then go to the next coffin cemetery, until the ancestral cemetery with the leaky orange can be reached one by one, of course, it can also be carried out far and near. When you return home, burn incense on the table in front of the incense in the hall of the house, and then light three incense sticks, which means that the ancestors who have passed away for three years are among the gods and can enjoy the treatment of the gods, and the worship of the gods is to light three incense sticks.

Next, kowtow to the ancestors and tell the ancestors to take her back for the New Year, and bless the younger generations with peace and happiness. Then put a bowl of rice and chopsticks in front of the ancestors, light firecrackers outside the door, and start the family to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

During this period, the ancestors were at home, so all people had to be cautious and respectful in what they said and did. Until the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, when the poor gods were sent, the ancestors were sent back. Come down to the night of the Lantern Festival, burn paper money in front of the ancestors' tombs, send candles, and bow down, and the Spring Festival ancestor worship ceremony is over.

If you can receive it, you just think about it, you can definitely receive it.

It is possible to receive it, but it is another thing to use it or not. Creek money and gold and silver ingots can be used, but the dark banknotes of the Heaven and Earth Bank are not, and they will be regarded as counterfeit money.

No one knows, it's just a kind of mourning for the living for their loved ones.
