Since then, the weather has become colder and colder, and people are afraid that their ancestors' souls in the underworld lack clothes and clothes. Therefore, in addition to general offerings such as food, incense sticks and paper money, there is also an indispensable offering-shroud. When offering sacrifices, people burn ghost clothes to their ancestors, which is called "sending cold clothes".

Later, in some places, the custom of burning cold clothes changed. Instead of burning cold clothes, people burned a lot of ghost paper in a paper bag with the names of the recipients and senders and their corresponding names written on them. This is called "baggage". There is a name of cold clothes, but there is no reality of cold clothes. People think that the underworld, like the dead, can buy many things with money.
