Fuda
Fuda is a traditional Chinese practice involving the use of paper offerings, often inscribed with prayers or messages, that are burned as a form of communication with the spiritual realm. This ritual is commonly performed during festivals, ancestral worship, or special occasions to honor deceased loved ones and seek blessings.
The practice of Fuda is closely related to ancestor worship and is prevalent in various cultures, including Taoism and Buddhism. The paper offerings can include items like money, clothing, and other goods, symbolizing the belief that these offerings will be received by spirits in the afterlife.
