What are the dangers of burning hell paper? How to convince the older generation to abandon such bad habits?

1. Burning paper money will indeed pollute the environment.

Since paper money is usually made of materials that are not easily decomposed, such as polypropylene, they release a large amount of harmful gases and chemicals when burned. These substances can have a negative impact on air quality and human health, so we should be aware of this problem and actively take measures to improve environmental quality.

2. Burning paper money also involves old superstitious concepts.

Despite its profound historical and cultural background in Chinese culture, burning paper money itself does not guarantee that our ancestors will be blessed. We should pay more attention to our actions and thoughts to truly respect and be grateful to our ancestors.

However, we should also realize that burning paper money is a part of traditional Chinese culture, which to a certain extent has important significance for our cultural identity and self-understanding.

3. Therefore, we cannot simply ban it, but while respecting and inheriting traditional culture, we should actively explore and promote environmentally friendly and civilized ways to express our respect and gratitude to our ancestors.

As a part of traditional Chinese culture, burning paper money has its disadvantages, but we cannot simply give up on it. Instead, we should focus more on environmentally friendly, civilized ways to express our respect and gratitude, while promoting these methods and positive cultural identities so that they become part of our lifestyles and values.
