Instructions on how to burn votive paper money on Tet holiday most correctly

After completing the preparation of the offering tray, the homeowner will light incense and perform a prayer to send off the ancestors. When the incense has burned out, the homeowner will clasp his hands and bow three times to ask for permission to perform the ritual of burning votive paper.

When burning votive papers, the homeowner should first offer the offerings to the gods, then the ancestors. The place where the votive papers are burned must be clean and airy, avoiding chaos and haste. The offerings must also be burned separately, not randomly mixed together.

When burning votive paper, the gods are burned first, followed by the ancestors. The votive paper for the deceased during the year is burned last.

After the votive paper and the petition have burned down, the homeowner should sprinkle some more wine. According to tradition, this action helps the ancestors receive the offerings from their descendants.

The offering tray can be used by the family together after the ceremony is over.

Nowadays, it is recommended to limit the burning of votive paper in the gold burning ceremony to avoid waste, protect the environment and minimize the risk of fire and explosion.

The most important thing is that the altar must always have incense during the three days of Tet, and the worship rituals must be performed with the sincerity of the homeowner.
