Pay attention to burning paper
You must pay attention to these when burning paper money, and never do something you can't do. Don't look back easily, or the three-light area above your head will be weak. Also, try not to pat your shoulder, it will go out if you are not careful. If you are too scared, the three-light area will weaken. Even if someone calls your name, don't look back, because calling your name may no longer exist in this world, so if someone tells you not to look back, it may not be good for you, just burn the paper and go home directly. Do not go to the river. It is said that the dead like to collect money around the river, so if you burn paper to go home, don't pass by the river, so you won't bump into other dead people who come to collect money. Therefore, for their own safety, everyone should go home to a crowded place instead of going home alone, so as to go home smoothly and safely. Don't leave with anything, because we may have taken things brought by other relatives of the deceased, so how did we get here? Burn the paper money and everyone will go back. Don't bring anything and don't pick up anything. This is not good, at least it is not conducive to everyone's fortune development.
Why can't women burn paper?
