Sale of paper clothes, shoes, mobile phones, credit cards, gold bars and even dentures for ancestor veneration. Joss paper (literally "gold paper"), also known as ghost money, are sheets of paper that are burned in traditional Chinese deity or ancestor worship ceremonies during special holidays. Joss paper is also burned in traditional Chinese funerals.More contemporary or westernized varieties of Joss paper include Hell Bank Notes, paper credit cards, as well as papier-mâché clothes, houses, cars, toiletries, and servants. In 2006, China's deputy minister for civil affairs, Dou Yupei, said he intended to ban at least the more extreme forms of joss paper, such as MP3 players, planes, boats and even paper condoms, paper prostitutes and Viagra.
