In the Chinese Taoist tradition, spirit papers (designs symbolizing good will, wealth and material objects) are burned for the ancestors and gods to be used in the spirit world and afterlife. This practice is similar to the tradition of the Ancient Egyptians, who buried objects (and other living souls) with the deceased to travel with them to the afterlife. Burning spirit papers is done primarily around the Lunar New Year, as a homage to the past.

Chinese New Year is celebrated with tradition, family and plenty of food. In the Chinese Taoist tradition, whole animals are presented to the ancestors as an offering and for the afterlife. Each dish has its own symbolism. The first day of the new lunar year, you’re suppose to only eat vegetarian dishes (Buddhist tradition), which signify good fortune, life, and cleansing of the soul. The second day is about eating meat–fish represents abundance, prawns symbolize joy, while the chicken symbolizes prosperity. The rest of the 15 celebratory days are filled with good will and laughter.
