Why do the dead burn wreaths when they send their way?

As a part of China's traditional culture, the circle of sending incense to the road originated from ancient sacrificial ceremonies. In ancient times, people thought that the soul after death needed to travel for a period of time to reach heaven or hell, so it was necessary to burn incense and light lamps for the dead on the road to ensure that they could complete this journey safely and smoothly. Later, people developed this sacrificial ceremony into the form of sending a road to burn a wreath, replacing incense, lamps and other items with wreaths to express their nostalgia and blessings for the deceased.
