What's the point of burning paper?

As the saying goes, 17 seedlings are boundless, 27 go home, 37 wash their hands in the river, 47 see the king of hell, 57 go to the execution ground, 67 go to the court, 77 go to prison and go to heaven. People think that although people are dead, the soul still has the same feelings as the living, which requires burning paper for the soul to accept.

Write a cover with the name of the deceased on it before burning the paper. Then draw a circle on the ground. You can't burn paper outside the circle, or it will burn for nothing. However, before the paper is officially burned, we still have to take out some paper money, light it and throw it outside the circle. It is said that this is done to reward wandering souls passing by, that is, the legendary money for buying roads.

Why draw a circle? In fact, it is also very simple, that is, to indicate who this place is sending money to! There is a saying: if the smoke is straight when burning paper, it is that the Lord has received it! If you go around in circles, it's another ghost coming to grab it!

Leave a hole in the circle, or burn it outside! Because the postman who sends money also needs funds, even if he has no relatives, he can receive some.

If an old man dies at home, burn paper. Don't be afraid. In fact, this is a custom of pinning acacia, a spiritual sustenance. After these experiences, you will understand that life is not easy and cherish the people around you, because once you leave, you will never come back.
