The Zhongyuan Festival, also known as the ancestor worship festival on the 15th day of the seventh month, is also known as the Ghost Festival, the Zhaigu Festival, and the Earth Official Festival. The main festival customs include worshiping ancestors, releasing river lanterns, worshiping the dead, and burning paper ingots. During the Zhongyuan Festival, the most prominent folk belief is burning paper. According to legend, paper in the world of the living is money in the underworld, and people burn paper to send money to their deceased ancestors and relatives.

Buy paper money of good quality and small denomination. In the past, people used to print paper money using molds themselves. After all, it is for the ancestors and also expresses the grief of the living. If you want to burn clothes or other things, write a seal on them and then write who it is addressed to.2. Paper burning is usually done at a crossroads, preferably a larger crossroads. Nowadays, urban management in cities is generally stricter, so paper burning is usually done at crossroads on the edge of the city. 3. Stack a dozen or so paper money together into a pair of triangles. Remember to bring a sturdy wooden stick and a windproof lighter to make it easier to burn. 4. In terms of time choice, it is generally best to go after it is completely dark. Try to avoid people on the road and don't talk to anyone. If you encounter traces of burnt ash at an intersection, try to go around it. If you really can't go around it, say "excuse me" and let me pass. 5. When burning paper, you must draw a circle and burn it inside, leaving a gap in the northwest corner. Write the name of the person you want to burn it for on the ground, and mutter some words to send money. Be serious when burning paper, don't laugh, make noise or curse. Also, before burning, light two pieces of paper and throw them outside the circle to ward off passing ghosts.
