Offering food and burning paper offerings and joss money for the “good brothers” (wandering spirits) is one of the traditional customs of the Chinese community.
When burning joss paper and offerings, we should also pay attention to cleanliness and environmental hygiene.
When burning paper money, it should be fully burned into ashes. Do not leave it half-burned or allow it to scatter everywhere. Not only does this create an untidy environment, it may also leave the “good brothers” sighing over incomplete offerings.
After the prayers, the food offerings should be properly cleared and disposed of in the rubbish bin, to avoid attracting birds or small animals, which may cause hygiene and pollution problems.
农历七月鬼节 – 别再折磨“好兄弟”了!
农历七月鬼节，供奉食物和焚烧纸札、纸钱祭祀“好兄弟”，是华人传统习俗之一。
在焚烧纸札和纸钱时，我们也应注意环境的清洁与卫生。
焚烧冥纸时，尽量将其烧尽为灰，不要只烧一半或任其飘散满地。这样不仅会造成环境不整洁，也让“好兄弟”看着半烧的冥纸而“望钱兴叹”。
拜祭结束后，所供奉的食物应妥善清理并投入垃圾桶，以免吸引鸟类或小动物前来，造成环境污染和卫生问题。
