Many travellers to Viet Nam wonder: 'Why do Vietnamese people burn coloured papers?' These papers are known
as 'votive paper'. They can be houses, clothes, fake money, cars, motorbikes,... made of paper. They represent gifts for
the ancestors.
This practice originates from the belief that death is not the end of someone's life. People burn votive as offerings for
the dead to use in the afterlife. Therefore, votive items are often valuable objects to mean that the dead could still enjoy
material life in his 'new life'. Votive papers actually symbolise the link between life and death. The burning ritual takes
place regularly on particular days such as festivals, new and full moon days, yearly ancestors' death anniversaries or the
Lunar New Year. After people burn the papers, they sprinkle a little wine upon the ashes so that the spirits can get to
heaven and bring the gifts for their ancestors.
