Money for the Earth God


We burned money for Tu Di Gong. Its a regular part of offerings at shrines here, just like food and incense, but especially at significant times of year like new year.
Theres a special little fire-house next to the shrine itself for this purpose.
Its not real cash, of course, but specially printed symbolic shrine-money. There's shops that sell pretty much nothing but paper money by the bag, incense and candles for offerings.
