You may call them joss papers, ghost money or spirit papers. They all refer to the same thing (the Chinese paper offerings). They are paper objects made from coarse bamboo paper or rice paper and used to appease the dead, for transformation, prosperity wishes, payment of spiritual debts and fertility among other purposes.
Taking time to care for ancestors in the afterlife ultimately reflects the value the Chinese place on filial piety and respect for one’s elders and ancestors. Put in more contemporary terms, burning joss paper provides the opportunity to make space and take time to remember the loved ones in your life.
