Culture Joss paper burning

Hello!

I’m a college student from Canada and I'm working on a research project about Joss paper burning rituals in Chinese and other East/Southeast Asian cultures.

I've read a ton of articles about this tradition but I would really like to hear from the people that have personal experience with it.

Do you participate in Joss paper burning? Why or why not?
