What should we pay attention to during the Cold Clothes Festival?

All clothes and paper money sent to the deceased must be burned. Only when they are burned thoroughly can these papers from the world of the living be transformed into the underworld. As long as there is even a little bit that is not burned out, all previous efforts will be wasted and the deceased cannot use it. Therefore, when burning winter clothes on October 1st, you must be particularly careful and meticulous. Although this action seems funny, it also reflects the living's grief and respect for the deceased and is a kind of spiritual sustenance. When sending winter clothes, people also burn some colored paper at the crossroads to symbolize cloth. It is used to help the lonely souls who have no one to worship their ancestors, so that the winter supplies sent to their relatives will not be snatched away by them.
