What is the name of the paper scattered in the outer circle when people die?
China used to be one of the "Mingbi" for offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, funerals and sweeping graves for the dead. Also known as ghost money. Generally, white paper is cut into the shape of copper coins, and then it will be scattered in the cemetery in the wild or burned to the dead. People generally call this kind of paper loose burning. According to Gao Cheng's "The Origin of Nine Years": "Since the Han Dynasty, people who were buried have lost their money." There are also records about paper money in Historical Records and Biography of Cool Officials: "Someone stole money from Xiaowen Garden." It can be seen that the custom of paper money existed as early as the Han Dynasty. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, when the Southern Dynasties were in Qi Dynasty, people generally used paper to hold money as a sacrifice to the gods. This custom has been inherited to this day.
