In Taoism & other Chinese Religions, Paper Offering is one of the many types of Offerings that Chinese needed to prepare before any form of Honouring.

In here, I will like to share with ALL of you on a Type of Paper that being used to Get-rid & Eliminating Negative Energies or Entities.

This Type of Paper is known as Wu Gui Zhi (五鬼紙) aka The Five Ghostly Spirits Paper.

Due to misconception & misunderstanding, this Type of Paper is being Wrongly use in nowadays, Folks thought that by Burning this Type of Paper, Oneself will be able to gain Wealth Blessing, but actually is not.

So what is the Main Purpose of using this Type of Paper?

According to Records, this Type of Paper got a few Usages:

1) Sending-off Poverty & Stupidest (送窮及送笨)

2) Sending-off Backstabbers (驅趕小人)

3) Sending-off the Five Ghostly Spirits & other Negative Entities (送五鬼)

For First Point, in the Ancient Era, Folks tend to believe that Oneself becoming Poor & Stupid were due to the harassment or pestering by the Negative Entities or other Wandering Souls. In-order to Send-off or Get-rid of such Spirits, Oneself would needed to get hold of this Type of Paper and then, performed a Short Report to the Deities & Earth Deity and then Burn-off the Paper allowing the Deities to provide the Necessary Blessing for Getting-rid of the Spirits. Once the Spirits were being sent off, Oneself would be able to Gain the Wisdom & Wealth Blessing from Deities.

For Second Point, during the Honouring of Tiger Deity during Spring Season (驚螫日), this Paper will be needed. After Honouring the Tiger Deity, this Paper will be used to Wrap-up the Paper Figurine that represent Backstabbers. After then, the Wrap-up Package must be Burnt off. This is to represent that the Backstabbers are being Eliminated and Good Luck will followed.

For Third Point, to Send-off the Five Ghostly Spirits aka Wu Xiao Gui (五小鬼). Cos in Taoism, Wu Gui represent Trouble & Nuisances. Once Oneself started to feel Bad & Luck is Down, meaning that Oneself might somehow annoyed or disturbed the Wu Gui and so, Oneself will need to Send them Off as soon as Possible in-order to prevent More Un-necessary Issues to happen. And so, Oneself will prepare this Paper and some other Paper-offering and then, proceed to Outdoor Area to burn them off. By doing so, the Wu Gui will be Send off and Good Luck will be Blessed upon Oneself by the Deities.

So it is Good to Burn this Type of Paper whenever Oneself wants to Burn?

Due to misconception & misunderstanding, nowadays, Folks tend to Burn this Paper in Large amount, hoping that the Five Ghostly Spirits will be there to provide Wealth Blessing, which this is a Wrong-doing.

By Burning Large amount of this Paper, Oneself does not gain the necessary Blessing instead, will lead in other Issues. So to prevent any Un-necessary Issues to happen, Oneself shall prevent burning this Paper without any form of Guidance.
