Folk chopsticks are ghosts and gods. Where did the paper money come from?

Many old people think that evil spirits are haunting their children when their children are crying or have a high fever, so they use a super effective method of erecting chopsticks to exorcise evil spirits, which is basically everywhere. I am dubious about treating diseases by believing in ghosts and gods. I believe that I really cured my cold and fever in this way. The reason I doubt is why children nowadays don't need to believe in ghosts and gods. Although I don't believe it, I did see three chopsticks stand up with my own eyes, and they stood up soon, so I didn't have to fiddle with them for a long time. When I was a child, I was very naughty. For a long time, I wouldn't stand by and make my own chopsticks.

Grandma said that when I was a child, I once went to help others burn paper money with adults in the same village. It was after eleven o'clock in the evening when I went. It was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. The moon is round, the road flattened by tractors is white, and the moonlight can reflect the shadows of people on the ground. When they reached the crossroads, they began to burn. After burning for about half an hour, they got up and went home. Just turned around and took a few steps, my grandmother felt chilly. According to my old lady, these methods were handed down from my ancestors.

The method of standing chopsticks with clear water is actually very simple, that is, prepare a bowl of clear water and a pair of chopsticks, put the chopsticks in clear water, and then start chanting. If chopsticks can stand up, it means that the dead relatives are attached to the sick people, and then kowtow and burn paper money to send the so-called ghosts away, and the disease will be fine. And if chopsticks can't stand up, it means that the pain has nothing to do with Kameyama, and it still needs medication.

This method is generally used to treat children. In real life, there are indeed some children who have improved under this method. But for its principle, science cannot explain it. Many materialists don't believe in ghosts and gods and naturally don't believe that water chopsticks can cure diseases, but they are dumbfounded when they see the actual effect, but they still have doubts in their hearts.
