My understanding from my Chinese family is that burning the paper money (or food, cigarettes, cars, houses, all kinds of luxuries, all in paper) is more custom or tradition than religion. It's a way to honor one's ancestors by sending them (their spirits) earthly goodies. :-)Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276822598849807814.post-75331313016512068902010-08-25T02:02:57.036+08:002010-08-25T02:02:57.036+08:00A neat tradition!
