Taboo notes on burning paper money

1, when buying burnt paper, don't buy piles of printed matter, one is hundreds of millions, and the money is not real, which is not as valuable as the old ruble and Vietnamese dong. You can't even buy a popsicle under a pile. It's too hairy, but although it costs a lot of money, it's ok to burn this more or less. There are many debt collectors here who insist on asking you for money, and if you don't give it, you will grind you, so you should answer them correctly with such a small amount of money.

2. Before preparing to burn paper, it is best to prepare lighters and sticks (it is best to be windproof, and it will be cloudy and windy on July 15). This is convenient for you to pull up the pressed paper when you burn it, so that the air can circulate and it is easy to burn. It's a good choice to use the old mop at home, but be careful not to take it back after use, just throw it away.

3. Fold the pasted paper, divide it into seven or eight pieces with one knife, and fold it diagonally twice, otherwise a stack of paper will be very troublesome to burn. It will be convenient to fold it and burn it.

4. Buy yellow papyrus paper, spread it out and press it with a piece of real money of 100 yuan. I feel that 100 yuan is a stamp, with rows of covers from right to left and from top to bottom until the whole paper is covered. Under this burning paper is hard currency. Money is real, face is in the pocket.

No one dares to come out to withdraw money until it is dark and dawn. On the way back and forth to burn paper, try to avoid burning paper and don't step on it. Sometimes an intersection is a pile of paper dust, so you can't get around it, so please insert it carefully, sometimes it may take a big step. Before you go, you should say, I'm sorry to bother you.

6. Draw a circle on the ground before burning the paper. Be careful not to circle yourself in it. Leave a gap in the northwest corner for relatives below to come in and get money.

7. When burning paper, you should look serious, don't laugh and play, and be respectful since you are here.

8. Before burning paper for your loved ones, light two pieces and throw them outside the circle. Answer correctly the ghost who has no relatives to send money.

9. Read aloud when burning paper, for example: XXX, I sent you money to spend. Today, all the grandchildren came to see you.

10, you must insist on watching the paper burn out before you go, which can not only prevent fire, but also prevent the wind from blowing the paper out and being picked up by other passers-by, making the old people unhappy.

That's all about leaving a gap in the northwest corner.
