What does incense belong to in heaven and hell?

Money for burning paper includes burning paper houses and villas, paper servants, paper towers, wreaths, etc. It is not only a way for the living to express their grief, miss and pay homage to their ancestors, but also has connotative information value. This information can be converted. In any case, any little food and paper money donated by the living to the dead will reach the dead place in the form of information and will be transformed into practical benefits. For example, if A's father dies and his father may be reincarnated as an adult, then the paper money burned by A will come to A's father in the form of real money. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people stopped burning paper money, and the whole of China became poor. After the reform and opening up, people began to burn a lot of paper money, and there were more and more rich people, and the whole China became rich and strong. So I advocate that people burn paper money properly. Burning paper money is not only a cultural phenomenon, but also a phenomenon of transmitting information in different time and space. This tradition left by our ancestors did not come into being out of thin air, but it has profound meaning here. I am very happy that every family, old and young, takes food money to burn incense and kowtow to their ancestors on festivals such as Tomb-Sweeping Day, Cold Food Festival and Spring Festival. Let's inherit this cultural tradition and pass it on. This is not superstition, but a healthy cultural activity.
