<< review queue entry 64935 - submitted by 'sl89' >> I've seen a number of English names, including ghost money, spirit money, funeral money and hell money, but neither seems established enough to use as a definition. ※ 冥钱 【Wenlin】 n. paper money to be burned for the dead 【LAC】 民间信仰中，焚烧给死者使用的纸钱。也作「冥纸」。 【MoE】 烧给死人用的纸钱。 | 《文明小史．第二五回》：「昨夜我做梦，你父亲问我要钱使用，我正要念些经，焚化些冥钱与他呢？」 也称为「冥纸」。 ※ 冥纸 【Wenlin】 n. paper money to be burned for the dead 【LAC】 民间信仰中，焚烧给死者使用的纸钱。也作「冥钱」。 【MoE】 焚化给死者使用的纸钱。也称为「冥钱」。 风俗认为，过世先人的灵魂仍照看着家人，上供、烧冥钱可取悦祖先。 It's believed the spirits of deceased ancestors look after the family and sacrifices of food and "spirit" money are made to keep them happy. 現在台灣中南部一些鄉鎮，特別在中元節用紅紙把冥錢、紙紮包裝起來，燒給「好兄弟」，希望大夥兒收到大紅包後，做個地府財神爺，勿再騷擾人間。 Today, in some rural townships in south and central Taiwan, especially at Ghost Festival, people wrap up the spirit money in red paper and burn it as an offering to the "good brothers" (spirits), hoping that after they get a red envelope and become a local god of wealth, they will no longer tamper with the affairs of men. https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=e5009cff-d1bd-4bba-b71b-5f6640260284&CatId=1 这位经营者告诉记者，现在市区继续在卖的冥纸、冥币等物品的数量很少。 This retailer told our correspondent that few funeral items like joss paper and hell money notes sell continuously in the downtown area. 在越南过年的时候，每人都忙碌地把辛苦赚来的钱，拿去买大量的冥纸和蜡烛，把它们烧得像在烧钱一样。 It was time for New Year in Vietnam. Everybody was busy spending their hard-earned money to buy paper-made hell money and candles. 一向被定位為「宗教迷信」（金紙）和「死人錢」（冥紙）的金銀紙，為何竟有人願意收藏並致力推廣為「特色產業」？ Long considered nothing but superstition and "corpse money," spirit money remains in active circulation. Why are some individuals still collecting the currency and promoting this unusual industry? https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=be974c3a-ce62-49db-9944-c9fb2576a46d&CatId=1 |
