China Hell Bank COPY €50000 Euros EUR 6 identical Notes Joss Paper Crisp. Ancestor Money Fake currency for burnt-offerings
.
Fake currency is used in funeral rituals for various Asian religions. Mourners burn the money in hopes of granting their deceased loved ones all the necessary resources in the afterlife.
The burning of spirit money is also part of traditional Chinese deity or ancestor worship ceremonies during holidays.
Although the offering is sometimes referred to as
hell money
, it has nothing to do with Western connotations of hell. The Asian understanding of hell is different than Western versions. Under the Chinese belief, for instance, all who die will initially end up in the same place: the underworld of Diyu. Then, they are sent to heaven, to be punished, or to be reincarnated.
Hell
then, is the neutral form for afterlife in general.
