Why in the world can't China put an end to the habit of burning paper at the graveside?

Burning paper at the graves in China has been a legacy, in essence, it is an expression of nostalgia for the ancestors, but also an expression of mourning, that is to say, this behavior in essence, is the embodiment of the later generation of children and grandchildren of a kind of filial piety. In addition, this custom has been passed down for more than 1800 years, and it is almost unrealistic to want to completely eliminate this behavior.

Of course, if you consider this behavior from the point of view of modern civilization is a bad habit, we must know that in our country from 2004 to 2006, each year, the damage caused by hill fires are very large, and in these fires, 18.6% is due to the grave burning paper and caused. In fact, as early as the Wei and Jin dynasties have appeared? Paper money? The saying, but then the? Paper money? Not for burning, but for burying, as we can see from some of the paper money unearthed at the former site of the Gaochang Kingdom in the Western region.

The burning of paper money became really popular during the Tang Dynasty, when Buddhism was also very popular. At that time, among the Buddhists, some people thought that they could use fire to pass these paper money directly to the people who had died, and in the eyes of the people at that time, the netherworld and the yangworld are actually the same, so living in the netherworld also requires the use of a lot of money, and so a lot of people would give their ancestors to burn some paper money, because by doing so their ancestors in the netherworld will live a better life. After this, our very unique set of Chinese? culture of the netherworld? was slowly formed.

The earliest kind of ? Quan Tai Shang Bao? After the Tang Dynasty, it has begun to be popularized in some countries in the western region. The first paper money was actually the first paper money, but it was not the first paper money. In fact, the earliest paper money, but later many of the western region of some Buddhist countries were conquered by other Islamic countries, so these customs are slowly replaced, but only we are China is to retain the custom of burning paper money, until now there are a lot of people to do so.
