Joss paper is an item that carries special significance and cultural inheritance.

In Taoist thought, the cycle of life and death is the natural law of the universe. Joss paper is regarded as an important medium connecting the living and the deceased, and the yang world and the yin realm. People express their longing for their deceased relatives by burning joss paper, and at the same time provide them with the necessary supplies in the other world.

Taoism emphasizes the balance between yin and yang and believes that everything in the world has its corresponding energy. During the burning process of joss paper, the released energy is regarded as being able to cross the yin and yang realms and send warmth and comfort to the deceased. It symbolizes the care and concern of the living for the deceased and is a sustenance of emotions.

The production of joss paper usually adopts traditional craftsmanship, and its patterns and colors also contain Taoist cultural elements. Some joss paper is printed with auspicious patterns, such as cranes, lotuses, etc., implying that the deceased can obtain peace and happiness in the other world.

Joss paper is not only a sacrificial item but also a manifestation of Taoist culture's reverence for life and respect for the deceased. It inherits the ancient tradition and allows people to feel the profoundness of Taoist culture while commemorating their ancestors.
