| According to custom, the 15th day of the 7th lunar month is an important occasion of the year for descendants to show their respect to their ancestors and worship the dead. Therefore, on this occasion, many families pay great attention to offerings and votive paper is purchased in large quantities. There are many types of votive paper, with affordable items such as fabric, shirts, hats, shoes, and gold coins. Photo: Phuong Thuy |

| However, it is worrying that votive offerings now include models that are quite "different" from traditional spiritual concepts and are sold at high prices; such as this SH 150 motorbike model with a price of over 70,000 VND. Photo by Quang An |

| The concept of sellers and buyers is that what we use when we are alive is what we need when we die, so the market for votive paper is diverse. However, buying too much votive paper to burn will cause environmental pollution and waste money. Therefore, sincerity towards relatives and the deceased is the most important thing.
