What is Joss Paper?
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 for transformation, prosperity wishes, payment of spiritual debts and fertility among other purposes. It is also done to bring good luck to businesses. Festivals like Chinese New Year is used to fondly remember the loved ones. They are also burned to requests for blessings of prosperity and good fortune. There’s really no coherent theology behind the practice of burning joss paper — all you really need is the paper items, a pot or urn to burn them in and the time for reflection.
